For the first time in years, the Giants have more questions on defense than on offense. The main one being, can this defense stop anybody? Lost amid the joy of last Sunday’s comeback was the fact that the Eagles’ offense moved the ball at will against New York for three quarters. New York is almost dead last in every big defensive category and their much-hyped pass rush has only gotten two sacks this season. But,......

It’s the most over-hyped event in sports so it is fitting that this year it is known as Super Bowl XL. Pittsburgh and Seattle took different routes to get to Detroit, but both teams present a compelling case for why they can win the game. Pittsburgh had to beat the #1, #2 and #3 seeds in the AFC on the road to get here, including a huge upset over heavily-favored Indianapolis in the conference semifinals.......

This is a game that the Giants should easily win and those are the most dangerous types of games in December. Philadelphia has been decimated by injuries and bad behavior. Their three best offensive players, Donovan McNabb Brian Westbrook and Terrell Owens are all out for the season. They are starting a former Rutgers player at quarterback and they just got destroyed by the Seahawks 42-0 on national television. The one thing the Eagles have......

The Giants will try and do the impossible today; stop Shaun Alexander. The Seattle running back has already amassed 1200 yards rushing to go along with an amazing 19 touchdowns leading the Seahawks to an 8-2 record, best in the NFC. Even if they stop Alexander, they will have to contend with Seattle QB, Matt Hasselbeck who has thrown for 2300 yards while compiling a 89.3 passer rating. The Giants defense should be under siege......

The Jets need amend their New Years Resolution to include thanking the Steelers for having a B-Squad good enough to keep the Buffalo Bills from the AFC Playofs, because St. Louis, and regardless of what the smarmy columnists may say, the Jets (10-6) received a spot after a 32-29 overtime loss to the Rams, who delivered in an actual must-win situation. Curtis Martin finished the afternoon with the the rushing title and 1,697 yards on......

Hopefully the Jets (9-4) will not be in a giving mood as they prepare to host Seattle in an inter-conference battle on Sunday at 1 p.m. (TV: FOX 5, RADIO: 1050AM ESPN). Quarterback Chad Pennington may not be at 100 percent, but this week he was steadfast in defending offensive coordinator Paul Hackett, as well as those of himself. Mike Holmgren's Seahawks are an interesting bunch, considered by some to be a legitimate NFC title......
