Yep. Eli is 2-5 all time vs. the Viking... 5 TD's vs. 14 INT's over those 7 games.Mn has historically dominated Eli.

IIRC, Darren Sharper used to salivate like he had a pocketful of roofies in the club when he saw Eli Manning enter the stadium.
Good match-up of similar type teams... NY probably having the better offense at this point, and Minny having the better defense.
Some keys to the game, IMO, include:
- Can the Giants handle the Minnesota pass rush? Getting after the passer is a huge strength of the Vikings and O-line is a weak(er) point for the Giants.
- Can the Giants stop shooting themselves in the foot with turnovers? Minny enters the game with the best turnover ratio in football, the Giants enter the game with the worst.
In addition, Giants have some injury concerns particularly in their secondary. After a third key DB went down last week... our defense (which had been playing quite well) went to sh!t vs. the Redskins. I'll be keeping an eye on the progress of DRC, Eli Apple and Darian Thompson... Giants need at least 2 of these 3 guys to suit up, IMO.

I'm nervous for this game. Vikings are predicted to win by almost everyone. It seems like everytime that has happened during my Viking fandom, they've shit the bed. The old way of thinking is hard to get over.
Aren't you feeling a little sick? Better call up the sub.
