Giants @ 49ers
Okay guys, big game coming up this weekend. Giants. Niners. The Giants are coming into this game hot as ever as they have won thier last 4 games. They beat the number 1 seeded Green Bay by 17 points. They are on fire and have the momentum in this one. The Niners, even though ranked 2nd, were not neccesarily favored to beat New Orleans but they got it done. The key in this game for the 49ers is going to be thier pass rush. If they can (and they will) keep pressure on the O-line and Eli Manning, it will be a long day for NY. They also are going to want to eliminate the deadly passing game. Hakeem Nicks (4 TD, 280 Yds Rec) in the post season has emerged as a deadly offensive weapon. Victor Cruz is having a quiet post season compared to his terrific record setting regular season, but those to wide outs can be devistating to defenses. Containing them all starts with an effective pass rush. For the Giants, they need to keep Frank Gore behing the line of scrimage. If they let him run its going to be a big game for him. And don't forget to double team Vernon Davis, the guy's a monster.
