New York Giants (5-9) at St. Louis Rams (6-8)

Eli Manning looks to keep the New York Giants winning streak alive this Sunday at the Edward Jones Dome, as he takes on Robert Quinn and the St. Louis Rams. The Giants are looking to finish strong on a disappointing season, with the lone bright spot being the absolute ridiculous play of rookie wide receiver, and most likely Offensive Rookie of the Year, Odell Beckham Jr. The Rams are trying to do the same, as they try to climb themselves out of last place in the very tough NFC West. The Giants are coming off a 24-13 win over the Washington Redskins. The Rams are coming off a tight 12-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football.

Keys To Victory

The keys to victory for each of these teams are pretty simple.

For the St. Louis Rams, they need to take advantage of this busted up New York Giants offensive line. The Giants offensive line has not done a good job at protecting Eli Manning this year, so Robert Quinn and Chris Long should have no problem getting to Eli. They also need to shut down the Giants best play-maker and rookie sensation, Odell Beckham Jr., who went off for 3 touchdowns last week against the Washington Redskins.

For the New York Giants, they need to get the ball in the hand of Odell Beckham Jr. To do that, the offensive line needs to give Eli just enough protection for him to find the rookie. Establishing the run will also be important for the Giants. Also, the St. Louis Rams offense is not exactly scary, so the Giants defense needs to make sure they get pressure on Shaun Hill and force some turnovers.

Prediction

I think overall this is going to be a pretty close one. The Rams defensive line shouldn’t have much problem getting pressure on Eli Manning. However, I don’t really have much confidence in the Rams offense doing much against the Giants defense, who have been playing much better as of late. I have to go with the Giants on this one, but just barely.
