Finish, finish, finish. That's what Tom Coughlin preached all year. Eli Manning delivered all season long, So did Victor Cruz, However, the defense, decimated by injuries, couldn't deliver. In fact, it hadn't played a good game all year. Until last week.

The Giants are getting healthy at a great time. Osi Umenyiora came back Sunday night in the win against the Cowboys and registered a quick sack. Justin Tuck seems to be mending and can soon be back to being a monster. Jason Pierre-Paul (above) is getting better every week with an unlimited upside. Mathias Kiwanuka is feeling more comfortable at LB and the secondary is improving since schemes have been simplified and the pass rush improved.

The Giants shut up the Big Mouth, Big Bellied coach last week and ended his brother's season this week. The Giants are improving each week and now play a hot Atlanta team at Giants Stadium, yes Giants Stadium. Atlanta is a dome team coming north to play in the cold and wind. Historically, not a good combination. I expect the Giants to beat Atlanta and move on to Green Bay for the rematch versus Aaron Rodgers.
