I'd be disappointed if he didn't. SOP for all teams, especially within division. Who cares what you know, it's about how successfully you stop or counter attack it.
History isn't kind when the skins go to NJ but hoping the good guys go up there and do what they did to the Rams on Sunday. Beckham will get his stats no doubt but keeping the rock and running it down their throats for 37 minutes would be nice in front of a national audience to get a little respect.Seeing Coughlin looking like a miserable prick that can't find his prune juice in morning and Eli with that WTF just happened look on his face would be sweet.

Looks like Culliver will be the one mostly aligned against OBJ. Keim notes that against Cully in SF, he had an under 100 yd game. Love to see the same Thurs. OBJ is going to get his but hopefully we can minimize the damage.
THE STORYLINE:
Who are the 2015 New York Giants? On paper, they are a young team led by the oldest and most experienced head coach in the NFL and a 34-year old, two-time Super Bowl MVP quarterback. They currently only have one offensive weapon – Odell Beckham – who really scares the opposition in the passing game. The running game remains too unproductive and inconsistent. Defensively, the Giants appear to be a spunky group that lacks any impact player. They can’t rush the passer and they can’t close the deal in the 4th quarter. And once again, it’s a team that simply can’t stay healthy (9 players on Injured Reserve, 13 on the injury report).
The Giants should have stolen the game from the Cowboys, and not the other way around. They had the Falcons on the ropes until another 4th quarter meltdown. Is it a lack of talent? Bad coaching decisions at the wrong moments? Lack of confidence and expecting the worst to happen? Probably a combination of all of the above.
The issue now is that for the third season in a row, the Giants find themselves in a very bad 0-2 hole and risk making themselves irrelevant once again before November. Their saving grace is the state of the rest of the NFC East. It’s almost as if they’ve been given one final second chance. Don’t blow it Giants.
