College Football Rivalry

The New York Giants became one of 8 NFL teams to start the 2009 season with a 2-0 record after a big win against the Dallas Cowboys in Dallas on Sunday night.

The NFC East is one of the most competitive divisions in football and winning it will be an accomplishment without a doubt.

The Giants were coming off of a week 1 victory against the Redskins at home. While the team was expected to win this game and did win, the team just squeaked by the Redskins with a 6 point (23-7) win.

The New York Giants have many talented outlets to choose from - WR Steve Smith, TE Kevin Boss, RB Ahmad Bradshaw, RB Brandon Jacobs, and WR Mario Manningham. When the Giants went on their Super Bowl run of 07′ not many expected them to do much once they were in the playoffs.

The Giants might not have the superstar they once had in WR Plaxico Burress - they do have quality receivers in Kevin Boss and Steve Smith. What would you rather have: One great receiver or three or four good receivers? Many would choose the latter.

After losing both Plaxico Burress (to his gun incident) and Amani Toomer (to retirement), the team saw a gaping hole at the wide receiver position. This is why Mario Manningham was on their radar for the 2009 NFL draft.

The Giants could either make it to the Super Bowl or be bounced out in the first round, they are very unique. After losing to the Dallas Cowboys in week 2, to a lesser team it would seem in the Dallas Cowboys, it is hard to get a read on how good the Giants can be.

The Giants have the potential, like a few other teams, to make it far into the playoffs if they gain some momentum.
