New England Patriots vs. New York Giants: Is an Upset Possible Tonight?

Anyone else's half Boston, half New York household buzzing? The New England Patriots take on the New York Giants at home for Thursday night football tonight, and while Giants fans have all but accepted their defeat against Tom Brady and Bill Belichick (their injury report is a long one and includes a tough loss in Saquon Barkley), it'll be a drama-filled game nonetheless. This rivalry has simmered in recent years (the Eli Manning-led Giants defeated the Patriots in two Super Bowls, the first of which ruined New England's perfect record that season), but the Giants have a potential new weapon in their back pocket: Daniel Jones. Known endearingly as "Danny Dimes," the 22-year-old rookie quarterback has stepped in for the aging Manning, and the Giants can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. That said, the Pats are obviously undeniably favored.
