NFL Game-Day Preview

Houston Texans @ Baltimore Ravens 1:00 P.M. ET CBS

Ray Rice should destroy the Texans today

 Look for Ray Rice to run over the Texans all day, and I mean run over them.  While the Texans do have one of the best running backs in the league in Arian Foster, I don't think he or T.J. Yates will be able to overcome the Raven's stingy defense.  Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs, and, oh yeah, that Ray Lewis guy.  Sure, T.J. Yates can now throw the ball to Andre Johnson, but the Ravens can just double team him, essentially eliminating the passing threat.  The Texans, of course, also have a great defense, but that won't stop Ray Rice.  While Joe Flacco may not be the best QB in the league, he certainly has proved himself against great teams like Shitsburgh Steelers and against the Texans earlier this season.  The Ravens are 8-0 at home and they have beat every playoff team they have played this season.  That said, I don't think Texans will be to upset the  Ravens in this game.     Final Score: BAL 21 HOU 14.


New York Giants @ Green Bay Packers 4:30 P.M. ET FOX

Victor Cruz is a beast!

Eli Manning, Victor Cruz, Ahmad Bradshaw, and Hakeem Nicks; that my friends is a winning combination!  Eli Manning has been having one of the best years in his career and he looks like he is going to take his team to the Super Bowl AGAIN!  This time around, Eli doesn't have receivers who shoot themselves in the league, instead he has two of the best wideouts in the league in Nicks and Cruz.  Both men present huge downfield threats for the Giants and they should pick apart the weak Packers secondary.  Packers defense has been terrible this season, and I mean terrible. I think the Giants should easily run over the Packers defense today, scoring touchdowns left and right.  Defensively for the Gaints, Three Word: Jason Pierre Paul.  Jason Pierre Paul might get 4 sacks today and should be a pest to Aaron Rodgers all day.  Giants defense has been much better as of a late, considering they held Atlanta's team to just two points, and those two points came off of a safety.  The Giants defense should continue to dominate and I believe Aaron Rodgers is going to have a tough day.  The game is obviously going to be close and will likely come down to the wire, but I believe the Giants will maintain control of the ball and will keep Aaron Rodgers off of the field as much as they can.  Look for a Giants upset today!    Final Score: Giants 28 Packers 24.
