2008 New York Giants Prediction from BetVega.com: 

You don't care about finishing second in division when you win the Super Bowl.  The Giants put up one heck of a season.  Whether or not DE Michael Strahan retires will affect this team, since that defensive line carried them through the entire play-offs.

The Giants had a very solid draft, and are hoping it pays off like last year's unbelievable class.  There's a lot to like here, and there's no reason to believe that Eli Manning won't continue to grow as a QB, as well as many of last year's rookies.  Is a second Super Bowl likely?  That might be asking too much, but this team is definitely going to be a player for years to come.

There are a lot of games on this schedule that look like toss ups, and the G-Men could go anywhere from 8-8 to 12-4 depending how everything falls.  Estimated record: 10-6, second place in the division.
