Will the good times Carl Banks Color Rush Jersey , and the playoff dreams, keep rolling for the New York Giants on Sunday against the Tennesee Titans? the Giants crashed back to Earth against the Tennessee Titans, the question shouldn’t be whether or not the Giants will beat the Colts. No, the question is whether or not the Giants will get embarrassed in Lucas Oil Stadium. The Colts are the hottest team in the NFL right now, and their offense presents a nightmare match-up for the Giants’ defense. T.Y. Hilton is sure to stress the Giants’ secondary deep while Eric Ebron (and the other host of tight ends the Colts have been rotating to great effect) will present a test that the interior of the Giants’ defense has yet to prove they can defend. On the offensive side of the ball, it appears (as I write this) that the Giants will be without Odell Beckham Jr. yet again. And as we saw against the Titans, the Giants’ offense is simply too easily shut down without Beckham on the field. The Giants still have nightmare mismatches in Saquon Barkley and Evan Engram, but between how they are employed by Pat Shurmur and likely DROY Darius Leonard, the Giants are going to have to bust out some wrinkles they’ve been saving for a rainy day. Final score: Colts 30, Giants 17Season record: 7-7Dan PizzutaWithout Odell Beckham, the Giants struggle to move the ball. Since 2014, Eli Manning has been a significantly worse quarterback in games without Beckham.That should mean the Giants will rely on the ground game, but the Colts have one of the league’s best run defenses this season and that should still be the case even without Anthony Walker on Sunday.On the other side of the ball, this Giants’ defense that got pushed around by the Titans last week will face a tougher test with the Colts’ offensive line. Andrew Luck has barely had to worry about a pass rush this season and the Giants aren’t likely to be the team to change that. On the ground, the Colts have three backs who can take advantage of the holes created and can catch. It’s hard to find a place where the Giants have the advantage, which makes it incredibly hard to think this game is going to be close.Final score: Colts 30, Giants 13Season record: 10-4Patricia TrainaIf we learned anything from last week’s embarrassing shutout loss to the Titans, it’s that the Giants have a long, long, long way to go, especially in the trenches, where they were beaten soundly on both sides of the ball.The Giants defense has some young talent that’s very promising and that, with experience, is going to be very good Mark Bavaro Color Rush Jersey , but unfortunately, they don’t seem to have enough in that area. Meanwhile, that defensive front is going to go against a Colts offensive line that of late has destroyed anyone who dares to penetrate the offensive backfield. The Giants offensive line, meanwhile, has experienced guys, but they too had their you-know-whats handed to then in the trenches by the Titans defensive front. Well, with the Colts having just as strong of a front — Denico Autry is a seldom mentioned monster who can disrupt from the interior or the end while Darius Leonard is apparently out for blood after being subbed for the Pro Bowl — I’m not sure there’s good enough reason to feel like the Giants have any advantage where it matters most, which is in the pit.Final score: Colts, 28, Giants 17Season record: 4-10Joe DeLeoneFate continues to not be on the side of the Giants, as they are tasked with facing one of the hottest teams in the NFL right now. The Colts remain on the fringe of making the playoffs, but have been aided by a hot stretch of games in which they won seven of their last eight. Indianapolis has one of the deceptively best young defenses, lead by league tackle leader Darius Leonard. If the Giants are effective in feeding Saquon Barkley you can expect another big rushing day from him. Besides Barkley, Eli and the rest of the offense will likely stall.MVP candidate Andrew Luck has been lead to an incredible comeback season thanks to his offensive line. Luck will dice up the Giants secondary on Sunday, just like he’s done against far stronger defenses. Final score: Colts 27, Giants 18Season record: 7-7Kevin HaswellThe Giants are coming off their worst loss since Week 6, falling to the Tennessee Titans last week 17-0. New York was unable to get Saquon Barkley going in the loss, as he rushed for just 31 yards on 14 carries. When Barkley goes, so does the Giants offense. This week, I see Barkley getting back on track but Big Blue still coming out on the wrong end. It should be a high-scoring affair but the Colts offense is just going to score too many points for the Giants to compete. Final score: Colts 31, Giants 21Season record: 7-6Mark SchofieldThe Colts are becoming that team no one wants to face in the playoffs. Under the tutelage of Frank Reich, Andrew Luck is returning to his pre-injury form and the Colts’ offense has become effective throwing to all levels of the field. The defense, not known to be a talented group, has made significant strides over the course of the season led by rookie linebacker Darius Leonard Eli Manning Color Rush Jersey , and is coming off a shutout victory over the Dallas Cowboys a week ago. The problem for Indianapolis, however, is that they need to win out and get some help just to get in. That makes them an even more dangerous team to face in the remaining weeks of the regular season. Final score: Colts 31, Giants 14Season record: 6-7Ed ValentineThere is just no reason to think the Giants can, or should, win this game. The Colts are at home. They have won seven of eight. They are in the playoff hunt. The Giants are playing out the string. They don’t have Odell Beckham Jr. or Landon Collins. The Giants were dominated along both lines of scrimmage last week vs. the Tennessee Titans and the Colts are a team that should be able to do the same thing.Even if the Giants play well, I’m not sure they can win this game without some help from the Colts.Final score: Colts 30, Giants 13Season record: 6-8[E-mail Ed at bigblueview@gmail.com or via the Big Blue View Contact Page | Follow Big Blue View on Twitter | ‘Like’ Big Blue View on Facebook | Follow Big Blue View on Instagram] EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Sensational rookie running back Saquon Barkley was stuffed repeatedly for the first time in more than a month. Eli Manning had little time to throw, and there was no Odell Beckham Jr. on the field to provide relief.A week after their best offensive effort in years in a 40-16 win over the Washington Redskins, the New York Giants (5-9) were grounded on a cold, rainy day at MetLife Stadium. The Giants were shut down and out by the Titans 17-0 Sunday in a game that featured Tennessee rushing back Derrick Henry rushing for 170 yards and two touchdowns.The loss ended the Giants' faint playoff hopes that stayed alive longer than expected after a 1-7 start. "Didn't do anything well enough to expect to win, didn't make plays, we didn't run the ball, we didn't stay on the field on offense, we had penalties, so we didn't play well enough there," Giants coach Pat Shurmur said. "I thought on defense, they ran the ball, we didn't tackle as well as we did in the last few weeks, which extended drives for them, and they beat us."What was really surprising was the way the Titans handled Barkley, who came into the game as the NFL's No. 3 rusher with 1,124 yards and a streak of four straight 100-yards games on the ground.Tennessee set out to stop Barkley and forced the Giant to pass. It was the perfect strategy.The Titans held Barkley to 31 yards on 14 carries Connor Barwin Color Rush Jersey , with a long run of 17 yards. He caught four passes for 25 yards, giving him 56 total yards from scrimmage, only the second time in 14 games he has been held under 100 yards."It's football," Barkley said. "That's what comes with the responsibilities of playing running back. It's not always going to be there, every play is not going to be a 40-yard gain. You just have to take what they give you. When the opportunity comes, you have to split it and make them pay for it. We didn't do that today."The Giants made mistakes: Manning was sacked three times, hit eight times and turned over the ball twice. The offensive line struggled all day and got hit with too many penalties that created bad down-and-distance situations.With the Giants down 7-0 early in the second half, New York reached the Titans 18. A hands-to-the-face penalty against Jamon Brown pushed the ball back to the 28, and two plays later Kevin Byard intercepted Manning on third-and-20.A strip sack by Titans linebacker Kamalei Correa and fumble recovery by tackle Jurrell Casey set up Henry's second touchdown."Give credit to the Tennessee defense," said Manning, who finished 21 of 44 for 229 yards. "They played well. They did a good job stopping the run on some early downs. The few times we actually got some things going, we had negative plays, we had penalties where we just could not sustain the drives and keep things going. They played well and we didn't."Sterling Shepard, who was targeted nine times and caught two passes for 37 yards, said the conditions were difficult."Nothing seemed to go our way and the weather didn't help at all, either," Shepard said. "You can't use that as an excuse. You have to fight through that. Both teams have to do it."The Titans (8-6) did, and they are still in the playoff hunt. The Giants are out for the sixth time in seven years. The exception was 2016.The end this year was not surprising, considering New York opened the season with a 1-7 record."There's nothing that we can do about it now," linebacker Alec Ogletree said. "We have two weeks left here to finish out the season, so we have to turn our attention to Indy (Indianapolis) next week and get ready to go play."
