Team Colors: Royal Blue, Red, Gray, and White
Head Coach: Tom Coughlin

Run: 7th (134.8 ypg)
Pass: 19th (191.1 ypg)
Overall: 14th (325.9 ypg)
Points Per Game: 11th (22.2 ppg)
Key Player: Eli Manning
The past two seasons, Manning has seemed to regress as the season has progressed. Somehow, he needs to elevate his game in the postseason, and display a little bit of leadership ability. Tiki Barber is a dangerous runner capable of putting together huge games, but it's the play of Manning that is going to determine how far this team goes.
Run: 14th (114.4 ypg)
Pass: 28th (228.1 ypg)
Overall: 25th (342.4 ypg)
Points Per Game: 24th (22.6 ppg)
Key Players: Osi Umenyiora and Matthias Kiwanuka
The Giants have a decent group of veteran defensive backs, but they are among the worst teams in the league against the pass. Some of that can be blamed on the lack of pass rush as the Giants defensive ends have battled injuries much of the season. With Michael Strahan out for the season, Umenyiora and Kiwanuka have got to help out their secondary by providing a consistent pass rush.
Give Aways: 15th (28)
Take Aways: 15th (28)
The Giants are a team that lacks leadership, which was a big factor in the team finishing just 8-8 despite possessing a lot of talent. They have a solid running game, but there isn't a single facet of their game that is dominating. They also have serious problems defending the run, which will probably be their undoing early in the playoffs.
