Peter King on Manning Bowl II

by Charles Costello on September 15th, 2010 at 5:10 pm

In this week’s Sports Illustrated, Peter King gives his prediction for Sunday night’s Giants-Colts game in Indianapolis:

The Brothers Manning play but once every four years. Over the summer Peyton, of the Colts, said he hopes he can savor this week’s game against Eli, of the Giants, because he doesn’t know how many more of the matchups there will be. But the elder Manning probably won’t have much time for reflection. Peyton got beaten up in a Week 1 loss to the Texans—he was sacked twice and hit 10 times—and he’ll be facing a new New York defensive front that against Carolina on Sunday was reminiscent of the ferocious group that harassed Tom Brady into five sacks in the Super Bowl three years ago. Expect Peyton to have trouble throwing downfield. If the Giants can make Colts tight end Dallas Clark a nonfactor, they’ll win. One problem: No one makes Dallas Clark a nonfactor. Colts 24, Giants 20

SI’s Peter King Predicts NY Giants to WIN NFC East

by Craig Santucci on September 1st, 2010 at 3:33 pm

Can you believe it?

Sports Illustrated’s Peter King has predicted the New York Giants to win the NFC East with a 11 & 4 record.

His reasoning for the prediction…a combination between the “NASCAR” defensive scheme where all four defensive down lineman are pash rushing ends(Tuck, Kiwi, Osi, JPP), Perry Fewell’s ability to call a defense similar to the great Steve Spagnuolo and a healthy Chris Canty.

Yes, Chris Canty. He believes that if the New York Giants could get production from Chris Canty for 16 games the NY Giants would make a major impact in the NFC and win the division. He still has the Green Bay Packers going to the Super Bowl; however, Peter is predicting a bounce back year for big blue.

Peter also sited the 2007 New York Giants that were coming off a terible 2006 year at 8 & 8, which was good for 3rd in the division. Currently, this team is flying belowe the radar. If they can get healthy there maybe some magic left.
