Sport: NFLPick Selection: JAX and NYG over
Take the OVER in NYG-JAX at 8:35 ET. Coach Tom Coughlin knows he is depleted on defense, with Strahan, Umenyiora, Arrington and a handful of others out. He's not going to win this game with his defense; rather, it has to be Eli Manning and the boys getting it done on offense. The Giants are especially vulnerable Monday night to the run, as Fred Taylor and Maurice Jones-Drew are going to pummel their defensive line. Don't think that Jacksonville isn't banged up, though. It will be a big day for Tiki Barber against a D-line that's missing Marcus Stroud, among others. The Giants have been an offensive juggernaut away from the Meadowlands (30.7 ppg on the road, over 3-0-1 this year), while Jacksonville has been solid offensively at home (24.2 ppg). Look for this one to be much more of a shootout than the oddsmakers think; over is the play.
