Eric Reid will have at least three pass breakups

This is a number that I could certainly see him reaching. With the amount of weapons the Giants have and Eli Manning’s gunslinger capabilities, he should certainly have a boatload of opportunities.

The Giants have taken care of the football pretty well so far this season, throwing one interception. However, they have thrown 37.8 passes per game, as Eli Manning has tried to spread the ball around. There should be plenty of opportunities for Reid to make a play as Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard are two wideouts that can stretch the field. I would look for big plays early in the game on the part of the Giants as they should get the ball into the hands of their playmakers early and often.

Pass coverage is an area where Colin Jones has struggled and this is where I think Reid can make a difference. If he can at least provide a security blanket for the linebackers, I would consider that a successful day.
