MOF S61 Week #2 Game of the Week

Week #3 has a premier match up in the NFC East with Coach Portis and the Washington Football Team vs Coach Estrada and the New York Giants. Both coaches are 2-0 in season 61 but one shall not be this week. That being said we have to take a look at both teams. Both coaches are known around the league and both make the playoffs regularly. Problem is both struggle to finish in the playoffs. The road to the playoffs is on them and this is going to get them started. The Giants are 6-3 in madden 21 against the Football Team. One of the losses was in the playoffs the one time they played in the playoffs. It will be interesting breaking down these teams.

Breaking down the Giants

The Giants are in the GOTW for the second straight week. They beat the Browns 21-10 last week by containing the run and stopping Carr from passing the ball. They played Giants football by running the ball 21 times for 113 yards which for sure means that they chew some of the clock and gave the Browns little possessions. The Defense was on point for the Giants as they was able to force 4 punts and 2 takeaways. This sets them up for a showdown this week against the Football Team. Jones this season has completed 73% of his passes for 442 yards but only 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions. Breida has been the work horse so far rushing the ball 37 times in 2 games. He is averaging 5.9 yards a carry but again only 2 touchdowns. It looks like if it wasn’t for the defense so far the offense is struggling. The defense is keeping them in the game by forcing turnovers and punts but how long will they be able to hold up.

Breaking down the Football Team

The Football team is a quite team around the league. You don’t hear much from Coach Portis unless he is bagging on Coach Knightnoles. Other than that he quietly works around the league causing havoc for some. They are 2-0 though so far this year. They barely survived against the Panthers. Last season Coach Portis traded Haskins for Bayless. Some thought it was a questionable move but none the less it was done. Bayless hasn’t really proved he was worth the trade as he is completing almost 70% of his pass but has thrown 3 interceptions to his 1 touchdown pass. Thankfully they have a pretty decent running back core pounding the ball. Love carrying the load by rushing for 30 times over the 2 games but is only averaging 3.9 yards a carry. On the other hand Gibson is averaging 12.8 yards a carry but that is probably because of his one 92 yard run. Bayless is having trouble connecting with McLaurin and Brewer as both are under 150 yards for the season. The Defense is another one keeping them in the game as they are playing great ball. They have already forced 13 interceptions of which 3 was returned for a touchdown.

Keys to the Game

Both of the teams are defensive giants. The only keep to this game is which offense can do better against the other defense. Both teams like to run the ball. So we are going to have to say if one of the teams can stop the run and for the other to pass it could be the highlight of the game. Washington appears to be playing a little higher level of defense based on stats but that could be a showing of lower level coaches he has played against. This should be a great game to watch and something we might see 3 times this season.

Prediction

Giants 17-10
