New York Giants 2011 Super Bowl Predictions

New York Giants 2011 Super Bowl Predictions: The New York Giants suffered a huge disappointment last season in what is sure to be the most unsuccessful 8-8 season ever. The Giants jumped out to a 5-0 start and went just 3-8 during the final 11 games of the season. Injuries played a major part in their shortcomings. Basically every starter on defense was banged up, and to top it off, both running backs and 2 of their offensive linemen.

The New York Giants' 2011 Super Bowl Betting Odds have the Giants at +2500 to win the 2011 Super Bowl.

NFL Predictions Offense: Eli Manning had his best statistical season last year, reaching his goal of completing 60 percent of his passes (62.3) and throwing for more than 4,000 yards (4,021). He showed everyone that he could be a top-tier passer. He also continued to show his durability by fighting through a painful foot injury. Ideally, they have a great mix of power (Brandon Jacobs), speed and agility (Ahmad Bradshaw) and hands (Andre Brown) out of the backfield. But Jacobs is coming off knee surgery, Bradshaw had offseason surgery on both his feet and his right ankle. The Giants have a deep and diverse receiving corps, starting with the reliable Steve Smith, who had the best season of any Giants receiver in history. In his third year out of USC, the 5'11" Smith caught 107 passes for 1,220 yards and seven touchdowns. The Giants also saw flashes last year of how explosive Hakeem Nicks can be as he averaged 16.8 yards on his 47 catches and scored six touchdowns. The New York Giants 2010 NFC East Odds to win the divisionare at +275.

NFL Predictions Defense: The Giants were continually blown off the line of scrimmage and the pass rush was nonexistent. The Giants used their first two draft picks on defensive linemen Jason Pierre-Paul, an end, and Linval Joseph, a tackle. They expect better play from their ends, now that Justin Tuck is recovered from shoulder surgery and Osi Umenyiora is another year removed from ’08 knee surgery. The major issue is the middle linebacker, where Antonio Pierce was cut and later retired, and nothing much was left behind. Jonathan Goff missed too many tackles in his brief stint last year, but he figures to get the first shot at the job. the Giants spent $37 million on Antrel Rolle and signed Deon Grant. Rolle, in particular, has star potential. He has a great nose for the ball and the ability to deliver some hard hits. There could be a great battle between Terrell Thomas and the oft-injured Aaron Ross on the other side. The New York Giants Win Total is at 8.5 with the over at -130.

Head Coach\Special Teams: Tom Coughlin might be back on the hot seat for the first time since 2007, right before he led the Giants to the Super Bowl XLII championship. His team has faith in him, but he must recapture the reins after letting the team spiral out of control last season.Lawrence Tynes’ job security is tenuous despite being a fairly reliable field goal kicker. The Giants have concerns about the length of his kickoffs, which he admits were too short last year. Keeping a second kicker (perhaps rookie Sam Swank) as a kickoff specialist is not impossible. Finding a punter to replace the retired Jeff Feagles, though, might be.
