The New York Giants host the Oakland Raiders. Check out the live stream available online at 1 p.m. ET as the Giants try to win their third straight game and the Raiders attempt to get back on the win column. Before the live stream, let's look at how healthy these teams are and what they bring to the table.
For the Raiders, their game will be based on the rush. They are fifth in the NFL with almost 148 rushing yards per game. It will be interesting to see how the Giants' run defense performs on this day as they are ninth in the league allowing only 102 rushing yards per game. Their pass defense will create havoc as well as they have totaled seven interceptions in 2013, three of which have come from Antrel Rolle himself.
The Giants will have to protect the ball in order to give themselves a chance in this game. Manning has been intercepted 15 times this season, while throwing for only 10 touchdowns in 2013. However, in the last two games, Manning has yet to throw an interception. Hmmm, see a pattern? No interceptons has meant a victory for the Giants. They are still within striking distance as the Dallas Cowboys are 5-4 and in first place. The Giant will be within striking distance as the season winds down.
Check out the injury report for the Raiders as they are expected to be without a couple of players.

As you can see, there will be no Darren McFadden, meaning the Radiers' rushing game will take a hit. There are also a few guys out from the secondary, which should give Manning more opportunities down field.

Webster will be the only player out, cutting back on the Giants' secondary. However, the story will likely be the Giants' offense as they will have to take advantage of the Raiders' shortcomings.
