Giants to open 2018 season vs. Jaguars

The New York Giants will open 2018 against a familiar individual. Tom Coughlin is coming back to East Rutherford in his second season as the executive VP of the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Eli Manning (R) will see Tom Coughin in Jaguars garb in Week1
The Giants-Jaguars season opener will be the first home opener in Week 1 for the Giants since 2012, when the Giants squared-off with the Cowboys. The game will also be the first non-NFC East season opener for the Giants since 2010 when they began that season against the Carolina Panthers.

The Giants come into the season with a new look at head coach with Pat Shurmur and GM Dave Gettleman. Quarterback Eli Manning will still be under center, and he could have Saquon Barkley in the backfield if the Giants select him next week in the NFL Draft.

As for Jacksonville, they are coming off an appearance in the AFC Championship Game, and will bring back old-school uniforms to boot.

While the Giants get a reprieve from playing the Cowboys in Week 1, they will have to see Dallas in Week 2 on Sunday Night Football in Big-D. The Giants and Boys finish the season against one another in Week 17 at MetLife Stadium.

Inspite of the team going 3-13 last season, the NFL is not shying away from putting the Giants in the spotlight this season. The Giants will have at least four primetime games (at Dallas; Philly, at Atlanta, and at San Francisco). The game against Indianapolis could be a Saturday night game on the NFL Network.

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...
