Giants rank: 10

Analysis: "The key is getting the pass rush back to what it used to be. I think Tom Coughlin does his best coaching when nobody has them as a conference favorite."

NFL.com

Giants rank: 15

Analysis: "Tom Coughlin's three favorite things: a) running late, b) a VHS copy of the 1999 AFC Championship Game, and c) running banks who fumble. Here's to New York Giants running back Andre Brown not getting the David Wilson treatment."

NFC East: Redskins (10), Giants (15), Cowboys (17), Eagles (26)

Top 5: 49ers, Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, Falcons, Houston Texans

Bleacher Report

Giants rank: 14

Analysis: "The Giants' pass defense was a joke by the end of last season, and it is hard to see why it will be much better this year. If New York can get back a feared pass rush, the sky is the limit for this team. However, I'm not jumping on that bandwagon until I see it happen."

NFC East: Redskins (12), Giants (14), Cowboys (15), Eagles (24)

Top 5: 49ers, Falcons, Broncos, Seahawks, Patriots
