Tonight we're here to talk a little bit more Giants football.

Playoffs coming up this week.

First matchup, hopefully first of many, against the Vikings.

So we wanted to kind of discuss some things that were on our mind regarding the Giants heading into this wildguard game. And one of them, at least for Nick and I, maybe that makes us homers, I hope not, is that we really feel like more so than at any point this season, this team could make a run. And that wasn't the case a few weeks ago when they got blown out by the Eagles. But things have changed since then. Most notably, the offense has evolved, and we're going to get to that. But today, we're going to discuss the five main reasons we think the Giants have an opportunity to make a run here in this playoffs, not just to get to the playoffs, grind to the wild card game, and get your asses kick. Like we saw Washington a few years ago against the Bucks when the Bucs won the Super Bowl a couple years ago. That's not the kind of playoff berths I look for personally. I look for the runs. I look for the chance to make a run. And I think this giant team actually has a chance to make a run. So Nick, we have five reasons. We're not going to do them in any kind of order, but I'll say this. The ones we list first are the ones we think are playing a bigger factor in this.

So let's start with our number one reason here.

And I'll toss us over to you. Both of our number one reason for the Giants' chances of making a playoff run this year is the coaching edge that they have on both sides of the ball and at head coach, all three facets going into this playoff. So where do you

want to start there? I think we should start and we've talked about this a lot throughout the week,

Dan, but with Mike Kafka, what this offense has been able to do recently and how we think it

isn't just kind of a fluke because the Minnesota Vikings suck on defense
