Panthers at Giants
When the Giants take on the visiting Panthers this Sunday, the key
matchup pits young QB Manning against a tough Panther pass D.
Manning and the Giants' pass completion percentage (sacks counted as incomplete passes)
is below league average as seen in the chart below. In only one game (vs Eagles) did
the Giants better league average.

And they are facing a tough Carolina Pass D. On this same stat the Panther pass D
is much stonger than league average allowing less than 50% completions in 8 of the season's 16 games
(see chart below).

On our key measure of passing efficiency (defense), yards per pass attempt--our
Killer Stat, Coach Fox's Panthers ranked second to the Bears allowing 5.29 yards per toss.
Giants rushing game led by RB Tiki Barber got them to the playoffs. To move on they'll need
help from the air corp. No easy task against the Panthers' D.
The computer sees another close game, favoring Carolina by 1.
