NFC Wild Card Playoffs
No. 5 Giants (10-6) at No. 4 Buccaneers (9-7), Sunday, 1 p.m. ET

From my point of view you have two seriously over-achieving teams in this game. Many had believed that Ely Manning was going to be as good as his elder brother Peyton but Ely lacks several things. The ability to effectively communicate with his team-mates and the likeability factor that Peyton seems to posses in spades. That translates into leadership qualities.

We all know that the Son of Chucky and the Giants head coach Crabby Coughlin that fines a player because its "Tuesday" has had a rocky road with his players. The Son of Chucky has been considered a mad genius but I just considered him a faux mad genius. I met the guy and have gotten to know him he is nothing but a softy, a push over and it takes about 5-minutes for everyone to figure that out.

The Giants with a 10-6 record still needed some help and luck for their playoff spot but in the NFC that does not take much since it is a weaker conference than the AFC and has been for some time.  The Giants can claim 2 quality wins on their schedule but the win over the Eagles is the suspect one. The eagles were not a very good team nor were they consistent throughout the year.

The Buc's on the other hand won their division with a 9-7 record in a weak division and maybe one of the weakest in the NFC. The NFC south seemed to be a dysfunctional division at best with no gelling of the teams. The best win they had may be the one against the Titans but beyond that there is nothing to brag about. I don't even know anyone that can name a starter on this team besides Tiki's twin brother and I believe that is his name "Tiki's twin brother."

The Buc's will have the home field advantage and the Buc's faithful tend to get somewhat rowdy but the talent edge goes to the Giants in this one. With the emergence of the backup tight end whom I believe is better than that blow-hard that broke his leg and we all know his name.

In this one I take the visiting team. Giants win.
