Last week: 17 (+3)

Record: 2-1

The Giants are certainly talented enough for a playoff spot, but in spite of their win over the Panthers, this team still has some obvious flaws, much like they did last year. Last year, they won just 9 regular season games and had a negative point differential. Right now, they rank just 13^th in yards per play differential, so they’re right about where they were last regular season. That’s not going to cut it in a loaded NFC.
