The New York Giants have been benefiting a great deal from the schedule this month. Their last three opponents have a combined record of 7-35, which makes it a bit of a disappointment that they haven’t won all three of the games. But they gave the game away in Jacksonville in Week 13, which is a reminder that they can lose to any team at any time. The St. Louis Rams are 6-8, which is obviously no great shakes, but they have victories this year against Seattle, San Francisco and Denver, and they’ve allowed a total of 12 points in their last three games. The Rams play a level of defense the Giants have not encountered since the Week 11 game against the 49ers in which Eli Manning threw five interceptions. Both of these defenses come into the game playing well, so I don’t expect a lot of points either way in this game. But I think the Rams will generate more pressure on Manning than he’s faced in recent games, and this is the week we remember that the Giants are a team with a lot of problems. Rams 16, Giants 10.
