The highly talked about season opening game on Sunday night between the Giants and Colts is referred to as The Manning Bowl. Even though they'll never be on the field at the same time (unless you count warm-ups and post-game), but Peyton Manning will try to force his will on Tim Lewis' defense.

The Giants strategy is to mask their true intentions at the line, as Peyton takes his sweet time and does what he does best. The way to beat Peyton is with a good and effective pass rush, something the Giants are one of the best teams at doing.

That's why the real key is the pressure - something the Giants expect to be very good at this season. The Colts gave up a league-low 20 sacks last year, but the Steelers' performance proved there are ways to knock Manning off his game.

"There was very little room in the pocket (in the AFC championship)," Wilson said. "It looked like he was crushed right there. That's one thing that jumped out at me just watching the film. When the pocket was closed down a little bit, things don't go as well as they would like."

I am betting Peyton will still take them apart...though I am still concern about the running game.

How many times will NBC show Archie Manning and/or his wife in the stands during the game? Under-Over: 10 1/2.

I'll say over.

Tiki is gonna have like 30 carries! They are gonna run the ball down the Colts throat and conversely the Giant D will give the Colt's running game no respect. Remember how the Patroits beat Peyton with a zone defense and being physical with the recievers. Peyton has weaknesses folks I assure you.

Most people assume the way to beat Peyton is to rush him and get him rattled. If anyone can do that, the Giants are the team who can. Between pro bowl ends Michael Strahan, Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck and Mathias Kiwanuka, Manning may be running around a lot.

The thing that worries me is how well the defense plays as a unit with the lack of total practice with guys like Arrington and Emmons. Although that shouldn't hurt the secondary, I'm interested to see how Corey Webster handles his new starting job.

Indeed Empire if the Giants D has a weakness it's their secondary which could be trouble when facing the Colts. However as I said their running game hasn't been clicking in the pre-season and if the Giants can make adjustments in that secondary due that lack of Colt's rushing game I think they have a chance to neutralize Peyton. Corey Webster is very important now and I think hell do fine.
