‘The Giants were a playoff team a year ago but are reeling for a lot of reasons, No. 1 being a sudden inability to protect the football. In Jim Fassel’s first six seasons, the Giants were a plus-23 in turnover differential, but this season they are a minus-8. Consider Buffalo’s minus-11 and this game easily comes down to what team makes the fewest mistakes. The Bills and Giants have a combined 22 lost fumbles. The Bills have been horrendous on the road protecting the football, committing 31 turnovers against only five for their opponents during their 1-8 road record dating back to last season. The Giants are giving up 328 yards per game so Buffalo should be able to move the football, but it absolutely can’t stop itself with mistakes and hope to win. Defensively, the Bills match their No. 4 pass defense against New York’s No. 4 passing offense and can win this battle with pressure on the inconsistent Kerry Collins.’
