The New York Giants have been known for been a team that has busted perfect seasons before, but it seems to me that this is not going to be the case this season. Currently, the Giants are 5-6 for the season, and it's quite possible that they might have given up their latest chances to qualify into the NFL Playoffs, for the second year in a row. The Giants have lost three games straight and they will now face the second well-rested team in a week with little Elite Football Jersey time to recover from the pounding they took from the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football. As a matter of fact, the Giants weakening defense lost 49-24 to the Saints will allowing Drew Brees and Company to record 577 yards, that is the franchise second highest total. Now they are facing the only unbeatable team in the league that is guided by a solid and almost flawless Aaron Rodgers. It is extremely unlikely that the Giants could end the Packers perfect 11-0 season or their 17 game winning streak. The Giants are just 4 games away from matching the Baltimore Ravens current record reached by the New England Patriots in 2003-04 for consecutive wins including Playoffs. What makes this match perhaps even more interesting is that the Packers perfect streak actually began with a 45-17 home crushing of the Giants in the next to last 2010 regular season. Had the Giants managed to get their game together, they could have easily qualified into last season's playoffs and eliminated Green Bay. But then again, they were playing a team that would go on to win the Super Bowl and have yet to lose a game this season. The New York Giants are far away from been the dominant team that have busted perfect seasons for top-notch teams. It all started with the 1998 Denver Broncos and their spectacular 13-0 start. Sure enough, the Broncos went on to win a second straight Super Bowl, but it was the Giants who put them on hold. More recently and even more significant, it was Coughlin's Giants that ended New England's bid for a 19-0 season with a 17-14 win in Super Bowl XLII. The Packers have some concerns New England Patriots about injuries. The Packers have a few concerns as far as injuries go. It seems that the win over the Detroit Lions took an expensive toll. Among the injured players, right guard Josh Sitton hurt his knee, starting inside linebackers A.J. Hawk and Desmond Bishop both had calf injuries and running back James Starks tweaked an ankle that had been hurting before this game. It is still uncertain if these guys are going to be able to play against the Giants, but it's probably not going to make much of a difference. As of press time the New York Giants are a 6 ½ point underdog in the spread at Betias.com NFL wagering lines. Things are going to be moving up a down a little as we get closer to kickoff time. The Giants need to prove their fan that despite the disappointment, they could actually win a game or two against big rivals. Rodgers and the Packers NFL Iphone 4/4S Case just want to keep on pushing the lines, picking up the touchdown passes and securing another Super Bowl ring.
