Analysis: After starting last season 5-0 and looking like they wanted to return to the Super Bowl, they were nailed with injury after injury and finished at .500. This year, they are healthy so far and look to start the same, but finish differently. Eli Manning is not Peyton, but he is a descent quarterback. Mario Manningham, Steve Smith (the other one), Kevin Boss and Hakeem Nicks are all young and developing very nicely as solid receivers for Manning. Brandon Jacobs was one of the many who suffered injuries last year, and with Ahmad Bradshaw, the two should provide a solid running game. After Pierce retired, the team is lacking at the linebacker position. They will need some help there. Pierre-Paul could easily step up to a starting role during the season, but Justin Tuck leads a descent defensive line attack. Antrel Rolle joins Corey Webster in the secondary to stop the passing attacks of the other teams in the division. The team should be solid and have a real chance to make it back to the playoffs.
2010 Season Predictions: 9-7, Third in NFC East
