After a great Sunday of football, week 12 comes to its conclusion in Monday Night Football at the Superdome.
Monday Night Football
New York Giants (6-4) at New Orleans (7-3)
A fortnight ago, the Giants had the NFC East by the horns, Eli Manning was playing like he did in his Superbowl year, and everything looked rosy. Back to back defeats at the 49ers and a shock at home to the Eagles has derailed their momentum, and given up the division lead to the Cowboys. With Manning having struggled somewhat, and with the worst rushing offence in the league, even the Saints' shaky defence will be looking forward to the Giants. In stark contrast to their leaky defence, the Saints rank 2nd in points scored, and first in overall yards gained. With well over 3,000 yards already thrown, Brees is the leading passer in the leagie and behind only Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers in QB rating. Despite 11 interceptions, Brees is lighting up the league with 23 touchdown passes, and will lead the Saints to another victory to stay ahead of Atlanta in the NFC South and keep their playoff dreams alive.
Prediction: New York Giants 17 New Orleans 34
