Now they will get ready for Sunday when they host the Seattle Seahawks (1-2, 1-2 ATS), who are also returning from their bye.

The one major difference for the 7.5-point favored Giants will be playing without their leading receiver, Plaxico Burress, who was suspended by the team.

That loss will put some pressure on the Giants’ passing game, but the Seahawks’ defense is not exactly stingy in that area, ranking 25th in the league.

As for Seattle's own passing game, they could be welcoming back both Deion Branch and Bobby Engram, the team’s leading receiver last season. That should help QB Matt Hasselbeck, who has completed less than 50 percent of his passes and has a 60.1 passer rating.
