FanHouse MichaelMatthews

With Fantasy Football season ready to kick in high gear, FanHouse is here to preview each and every team -- one per day until we've done them all.

Meet The ...
Team that wants you to believe they can win with anybody. That's right, it's the system and not the players. The Giants shed a bulk of their offense in the offseason, some by choice, others ... well not so much. Their franchise QB bid farewell to his top receiving options and a key running back bolted for free agency.

Yet, let's not worry too much. The Giants still have a monster with Brandon Jacobs, a ball-hawking defense that thrives on pressure, and some potential budding stars on offense. Will Eli shake off the tough offseason and put up those solid and consistent numbers we all crave? Well, maybe. Yeah, that's a good theme for owning most of this Giants offense. Do you trust (fill-in-the blank) ... "well, maybe."

To get you ready for week 7, FanHouse is previewing all 13 NFL games. Here is the New York Giants/San Francisco 49ers preview.

2007 Records:

New York Giants: 4-2 (2nd in NFC East)
San Francisco 49ers: 2-3 (3rd in NFC West)

Last Game(s):

Giants 31 - Falcons 10
Ravens 9 - 49ers 7

When the 49ers have the ball: Offensively, the 49ers will look to get anything going -- really, anything. They are currently dead last in the NFL managing only 203.2 yards per game, and 31st in the league scoring only 12.6 points per game. On the plus side, they are likely to get Alex Smith and Vernon Davis back in time for this game, and that has to go at least some distance in improving this embarrassing offense.

Defensively, the Giants just have to do more of the same. Outside of one huge run by Jerious Norwood on Monday night, they were able to shut down the Falcons offense and help the team walk away with their fourth victory in as many games. Ever since halftime of the Redskins game, this unit has been one of, if not the best defense in the entire league. And so long as defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo continues to gameplan according and call the game aggressively, New York will continue to dominate.
