Big Blue faces a tough Seahawk squad

This week the NFC East leading New York Giants (7-3) travel to the first place NFC West Seattle Seahawks (7-3) in what will surely be a high scoring affair. This contest will match two of the highest scoring offenses in the NFL.

The high powered Giants offense leading by second year QB Eli Manning must flawlessly execute the game plan if they hope to energe victorious. Coach Tom Coughlin must equally utilize both the run and pass in order keep a Seattle defense off balance and provide Big Blue ample opportunities to score early & often.

Seattle will be relying MVP candidate Shaun Alexander to help position the Seahawks for home field advantage in the playoffs. Alexander, 28, is the NFL's leading rusher with 1,229 yards and 19TDs and a gaudy 5.3 yards per carry from scrimmage. The 6th year running back from Alabama is projected to finish the season with over 2,000 yards & 30TD's.
