The Giants were a mess last week and this week isn’t likely to be much different. If Eli Manning even plays, it will be limited. Nassib and Thomas will face a very tough Buffalo defense. Look for more turnovers this week. Buffalo should also get some more plays from Cardale Jones, who showed promise last week.
