The New York Giants are at the top of the NFC. It helps that they just played the abomination known as the Oakland Raiders. The team whose head coach is about to be sent to the house of correction. How excited Raider Nation must be right now! Coach Cable is upping his street cred!

In the coming weeks the Giants will be playing teams that actually belong in the NFL. In particular the New Orlean Saints. It is the most intriguing game of week 6. This is the battle of two superlative teams. The winner of this game gets my secret ballot for the NFL’s most impressive team to date. Accompanying the Colts of course.

I’m most interested in seeing the distribution that occurs in the Giants backfield. Will Tom Coughlin succumb to the media pressure and start Ahmad Bradshaw? If that happens it won’t be because of the media’s need to sell a story. If Bradshaw starts it is because he has had 58 carries for 375 yards. That is 6.5 yards per carry! Brandon Jacobs has 100 carries for 355 yards. That is a dismal 3.6 yards per carry!

Jacobs didn’t hide his displeasure regarding his play nor his critics recent criticism on his WEPN-AM radio interview. Maybe that will fuel him in his upcoming games?

Bradshaw is a home run guy every time he touches the ball. He has a nice mixture of light feet and power. If he racks up good numbers this week going against the NFL’s 7th ranked rush defense then I don’t think there will be much question as to who the better starting option in New York will be moving forward. At least until the cold weather settles in.
