PREDICTIONS FOR N.Y. GIANTS IN 2016:

 

If Eli Manning stays healthy all year i can guarantee you will see a big turnaround. In fact Manning himself in an interview a couple days back told interviewers that the there was no way they would miss the postseason in 2016 and i have to believe him based on the moves they made this offseason. The Giants have done well on offense it has been the defense that has messed things up for them the past couple seasons but their GM took some big steps to remedy that situation by bringing in Damon Harrison,Oliver Vernon,Janoris Jenkins,Keenan Robinson as well as drafting corner Eli Apple in the first round of the draft as well as Darian Thompson in the third. Thats a lot of new faces on defense that were brought in to get the Giants back on the right track. Bovada has the Giants at 8 i think they'll go over and win 9.
