Mike Mauro: Considering the Giants are the only team in the entire NFL to be the reigning Super Bowl Champions, I think it is safe to say that they are clearly the best team in New York. With Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning more confident and improved, an offensive line returning all of its starters once again, three productive running backs and with a defense that, despite its losses, can still get after the quarterback, the Giants will win the best division in football - the NFC East.
