Giants are too high. And yes, I know but I don't see them coming close this year.
Dallas 15! Love it!

Greenbay is gonna get knocked in the mouth so hard every body in the nation will take notice. book it. Last i heard they were having tackle problems. Cowboy and Aldon are gonna be foaming at the mouth. This team is ready for the best competition in the league. been a long time since i could say that confidently.

Giants are massively overrated going into this year. I'd put them at 11 or 12.
