Week 6 Thursday Night Pick

It looks like Eli Manning will not get to play against 

Tom Brady, who he is 2-0 in Super Bowl games

Through 5 games, the Giants LT Nate Solder has given up 4 sacks and 20 QB pressures, both of those ranking in the bottom-three for OT’s. Solder and the Giants will face the Patriots who rank 1st with 23.0 sacks on the year, which is 4 more than the next closest team

New York Giants @ New England Patriots (-17) - The New York Giants chances for making it close seemed to have diminished with the injuries to top players including wide receiver Sterling Shephard and Evan Engram.  Daniel Jones goes up against a team that has given up 2 touchdowns all season, and zero passing touchdowns.  Given how weak the Patriots schedule has been, you could argue that this is the toughest offense the Patriots have faced since the Steelers in week 1, who only scored 3 points.

The Patriots are dealing with some minor injuries including to wideout Phillip Dorsett and running back Rex Burkhead but it has been proven that their parts are more interchangeable.  While Golden Tate makes his debut, his performance with the Eagles seemed limited.  Look for Julian Edelman to have a big week despite the forecast of rain.  Expect the Giants to get a heavy dose of Sony Michel if this game gets out of hand.
