Bill Speros writes: “Big Blue may start Phil Simms at QB in this one. The 2-12 Giants pulled Tommy DeVito in their 35-14 loss to Baltimore in favor of Tim Boyle. The Falcons are in the midst of blowing another shot at the NFC South. They should flex this one to April.”

Matt Johnson writes: “Without Dexter Lawrence, the New York Giants pass rush isn’t remotely as effective as it needs to be which has led to this becoming a bottom-10 pass defense and bottom-5 run defense in recent weeks. The Giants offense also doesn’t offer much of a threat to keep the game close, gift-wrapping a potential two-score win to the Atlanta Falcons as long as Kirk Cousins doesn’t turn it over.”
