2007 New York Giants Predictions & Season Preview

Now take a look at our 2008 New York Giants Predictions & Season Preview!

There are plenty of questions surrounding the New York Giants football team in 2007, and we think the answers aren't going to be ones that the Giants fans are going to enjoy. Eli Manning is going to have to develop into a star quarterback for the team to compete, and Brian Jacobs will have some big shoes to fill with the absence of Tiki Barber. Tom Coughlin had trouble keeping his team together last year with Barber in the backfield carrying the team, so don't think they can get to 8-8 and back into the playoffs without him.

It's hard to believe that Manning has been around for three years now, as he still has his ups and downs unlike almost any other quarterback in the league. This is the year the Giants really need him to emerge as a star, or else New York might start thinking he was a bust. The team is patient in his development, but the fans are getting restless. Jacobs is a strong runner but it's uncertain whether he can carry the entire load. The Giants weren't sure either I guess since they went out and got Reuben Droughns, who has had a couple of 1,200 rushing yard seasons under his belt. Manning will have plenty of receivers to pass too as long as they can stay healthy. Amani Toomer is 33 and coming off an achilles injury, so it's uncertain how effective he can be this year. Sinorice Moss has great potential, but has been hampered by injuries early in his career. Plaxico Burress is talented and should have a great year after catching ten touchdowns a year ago. Jeremy Shockey is as good as it gets at tight end when he's playing up to his potential.

The defense struggled last season and a big reason for that the pass rush couldn't get to the quarterback and thus QBs picked them apart. On the line there are two greats in Michael Strahan and Osi Umenyiora, but Strahan is coming off a serious foot injury and at 36 may have trouble returning to full strength. The Giants have two strong linebackers in Mathias Kiwanuka and Antonio Pierce, but need more out of the other spot. The secondary was a trouble last season as Sam Madison looked old and Corey Webster just not good enough. The team drafted Aaron Ross out of Texas and he'll be playing by year's end. Will Demps and Gabril Wilson will have to perform up to their talent levels if they want to keep their jobs.

One of the best bets of the season is to take the Giants at under 8 wins. We really think this team is going to finish in the basement of the division and will be lucky to get to seven wins, more likely ending up with six.
