Welcome to Monday Night Football! Tonight's game features Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts against Eli Manning and the New York Giants. I am going to go bold tonight with my prediction based on both my gut and one historical fact centered around Eli Manning.
FACT: Eli Manning is a beast coming off a Bye Week. Six years running.
| YEAR | OPP. | SCORE | CMP | ATT | YARDS | TD | INT |
| 2008 | Seattle Seahawks | 44-6 (W) | 19 | 25 | 267 | 2 | 0 |
| 2009 | Atlanta Falcons | 34-31 (W) | 25 | 39 | 384 | 3 | 1 |
| 2010 | Seattle Seahawks | 41-7 (W) | 21 | 32 | 290 | 3 | 0 |
| 2011 | Miami Dolphins | 20-17 (W) | 31 | 45 | 349 | 2 | 0 |
| 2012 | Green Bay Packers | 38-10 (W) | 16 | 30 | 249 | 3 | 0 |
| 2013 | Oakland Raiders | 24-20 (W) | 12 | 22 | 140 | 1 | 1 |
Look at that? How can I not go with Eli Manning and the Giants tonight?! I know, that Oakland game last year is a blip. It's just a blip people! Go Giants!
I might be hyping myself up due to another fact that has me currently in a three-way tie for first place in my Yahoo Pick'em league, which means a win by the underdog Giants tonight could net me some major financial windfalls and I'm licking my chops! Prediction: Giants 31, Colts 27.
Only 11% of Yahoo users picked the Giants to win tonight, do any of you give them a chance?
