Giants passing > Niners passing
Giants running < Niners running
Giants pass D = Niners pass D (seems even)
Giants run D < Niners run D
Giants ST < Niners ST
Based on that, I have 49ers winning 3 of 5 categories and when you add home field advantage, you gotta like our chances in this one.
Trust me on this ... we have a better passing defense. Maybe not statistically, but definitely. People keep discounting the caliber of teams we've beaten over the course over the season ... I'm a true believer.
We have a better overall defense, and not only that but our defense is the hardest hitting defense in the NFL and they generate turnovers. The turnovers the Giants got against Green Bay were really gifts. The giants didn't force any of them.

Granted they earn their way into the postseason but This is the same Giants Team that lost to Charlie Whitehurst & the Seattle Seachickens & Rex Grossman & Washington Redskins in their own crib. (last time i checked the Niners beat them all!) Which wishy washy NY Giants is going to show up @ the Stick on Sunday.. that is the question?

Its 50-50. I thought the Giants were the better team compared to GB. But we get them at home. That means a lot. This game will be tough. But after what we saw Sat there is no reason that we should not think we have a chance to win it.
This, the Giants are hot and their front 4 on defense is problematic. Having the game at home, and being able to practice in the elements this week, should help. If the offense can put together a few drives like from the 4th quarter, and not many like the 3rd, it should be the desired result!

Chris Culliver will be healthier than Vs. the Saints I like him to shutdown Cruz or Hicks

They get pressure from their front 4 and can drop people back in coverage instead of blitz a lot like the Saints. I don't think they will put 8 men in the box to stop the run after what we did Saturday. Therefore, the run will be there for us if we can take advantage of it. Also, as good as they were against Green Bay at take aways, we are still better at it than anybody in the league.

Remember, this week 10 game is the same one that Teddy Ginn gift-wrapped an INT for them. That shouldn't happen again

I chose VERY confident because I am indeed VERY CONFIDENT we will beat the Giants. However, I don't think we'll win handily. It'll be a close one.

I think it will be really close, the first game was saved by Justin Smith making a great play when the Giants were driving. Much like the Saints game a lot of it will come down to whether our d-line can get pressure on Eli, if they can then we should get at least 2 picks as while Eli is a great QB he will always make a few poor throws each game.
Giants are traveling again, that plays a huge part.
Giants didn't have Bradshaw, great we didn't have Gore, and we still beat them.
Walker is back, who to me was the biggest factor in the Week 10 matchup.

Very confident. The biggest x factor will be the coaching. Harbaugh is a few steps ahead of the rest of the league right now in creativity.
We are going to win the Super Bowl.
I'm looking forward to the America's Game about this year. I will like to hear Alex's persective on his rocky career. A year ago he was practically booed out of town. A year later, he has a ring.
Truth is stranger than fiction.

Is that the bias you were predicting?
The Giants are more dangerous than the Saints. New Orleans sucks on the road, sucks on grass, has possibly the best quarterback in football, great physical receivers but a s**tty defense, questionable linebackers and a mediocre secondary. Giants have a pretty good quarterback, shifty, fast receivers, a monster defensive line and average play in the secondary but its going to be tougher to move the ball against them, not to mention that Eli is firing on all cylinders and they have guys like Hakeem Nicks, who didn't play in the first game, back in the lineup.
The offense CANNOT go 3 and out over and over against those guys, they also have to be especially careful to protect the ball as the Giants were being aggressive and going after the ball, forcing turnovers by a powerful Packers offense.
Meh, the Packers made a ton of mistakes in that game. The Packers were off and stopped themselves more than the Giants stopped them imo.

I'm really feeling like somethings in the air boys. The Giants took out the #1 seed. PERFECT! They got a bunch of turnovers because GB is just like NO they chuck the ball a ton. The Giants will NOT run the ball on us I guarantee you that. Forcing them to throw, I like us winning the TO battle again by at least +2 and IDGAF how many TOs the Giants got today against the Pack. I feel like we win and make a statement that makes everybody go HOLY s**t DID YOU WATCH THAT 49ERS GAME? not like they did this week after the thriller, I'm talking about a mugging a 32-10 type of beat down. I'm not saying it's def going to happen or anything but it just feels right.
That's the thing with this Niner D. I don't really care that Bradshaw is back. I have confidence that this D will stop any running game and force their opponent to be one-dimensional. I've got to admit that those Giants receivers scare me. Goldson and Whitner need to lay some big hits on them early. I think Colston dropped that ball in the end zone in the Saints game because he was worried about those safties.
The Giants are going to scheme not to let Davis beat them. Michael Crabtree needs to show us why he was drafted where he was. He needs to step up big-time. Pretend he is playing the Longhorns or something. I wouldn't mind seeing Miller more involved in the passing game. Wouldn't it be great if they could use him the way Rathman use to be used.
I really think that Harbaugh-Roman-Chryst will give us some surprises. Might have seen them Saturday if we hadn't jumped to that 17-0 lead. Coughlin is saying that they saw some things the last time. My guess is that Harbaugh and company did as well. Hunter, Williams may be more involved. Plus, we had no running game against the Giants the first time out so I expect to see a big improvement there.
Has Justin Tuck made any "game-manager" comments yet?
