Key Battles
Michael Thomas vs Jimmy Smith
Michael Thomas is one of five wide receivers in the NFL averaging over 100 yards per game. This game might be the one game he struggles to get to the century mark. Jimmy Smith, after coming back from a four-game suspension, has been playing like a pro bowler since.
There are many reasons why the Baltimore Ravens have the best defence, but this matchup of one of the best cornerbacks in Smith against Michael Thomas and one of the best offences in the New Orleans Saints will be a matchup to look forward.
Tom Brady vs Khalil Mack
Anytime Khalil Mack faces someone it usually is a crucial matchup in the week, but this week he plays someone who often referred to as the G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time). Tom Brady looked like the Brady of old against the Kansas City Chiefs. The weapons that Tom Brady has on offence has never looked better.
Khalil Mack's biggest concern will be to get to Tom Brady is fast speeds because Brady usually does not hang on the ball for long. So Khalil Mack will have to get to Brady fast or it might be Khalil Mack not being able to do anything to Tom Brady.
Eli Manning vs Atlanta Falcons Defence
Some will say if Eli Manning can't put up points against a bottom feeder defence like the Atlanta Falcons then its time to change the quarterback to Kyle Lauletta. Giants fans are itching to see what they have in Kyle Lauletta and are thinking the time has come to an end for Eli Manning.
Though this is a good test for Manning to see if he still has anything left in the tank. If Manning can not score against the Falcons defence, it will be time for the Lauletta show!
