Giants vs Saints Tickets
Giants Saints tickets are bringing Monday Night Football to the Mercedes Benz Superdome this week and both the Giants and Saints should be primed and ready. Quite frankly, neither team can afford to lose this game. The New York Giants are trailing the Dallas Cowboys in the NFC East and face the tough task of a rugged schedule and getting out from behind the 8-ball in the division. The New Orleans Saints, while leading the NFC South, are looking at games against the Detroit Lions, and a rematch with the Falcons. Breathing room is what the Saints need, not to mention the advantage of the tiebreaker in playoff seeding.
By the numbers this should be a Saints win. New Orleans is a passing team first and foremost, although they are showing signs of getting healthier in the running game. The Saints hold the top spot in the NFL in terms of passing yards with 319.4 ypg. They’ll be facing a Giants team whose defense against the pass is below average, coming in at #18. Advantage Saints.
But the New York Giants don’t have a problem throwing the ball either. New York ranks a respectable 5th in the NFL in passing yards per game with an average of 281. And they’ll be throwing the ball at a Saints defense that ranks 19th against the pass. Advantage Giants.
So how about that running game? For the New Orleans Saints the balance has not been there. Despite a healthy Pierre Thomas who some say has been underutilized, and rookie running back Mark Ingram, the Saints offense has only the 13th ranked running game in the NFL. Not great but slightly above average. But it may be time for that to pick up as the Giants run defense is ailing, coming in at #21. If the Saints want to get some rhythm in the running game, the Giants may be the team to do it against. Advantage Saints.
What’s more, a Saints defense that ranks 19th in the league but has been showing signs of coming around could get fat against the New York Giants whose run production is 31st in the NFL. Stuff the run and Eli Manning has no choice but to pass and that’s when a defense can cut loose. Advantage Saints.
If you’ve got Giants Saints tickets be ready for a loud and rowdy New Orleans Saints crowd on Monday Night. This is a must game in building momentum for the playoffs. The last time the Giants came to town both teams were undefeated going in and the Saints came out on top 45-27 and went on to win their first Super Bowl in Miami. Let’s hope lightning strikes twice.
