Princess Picks Week 6 - Giants Vs. 49ers

Princess and the Giants are coming off a big win last week. With the Giants win over the Cleveland Browns, her winning NFL picks record stands at a very respectable W4-L1. Is her and the Giants success getting the better of her with this weeks pick?

Princess is taking the Giants to upset the 49ers in San Francisco on Sunday.

But does this mean this week's NFL pick from our prognosticating camel is a confident one - far from it. It seems she is having doubts about her pick, but is sticking by it.

When told by her trainer John that she was going to have to pick between the Giants and 49ers this week here is the exchange that took place between them:

"...John, the 49ers? The same 49ers team that is out for revenge from last year’s playoff loss and have outscored their opponents by 70 something to 3 …. those 49ers?
Yes, those 49ers ….
Girl, you just told me that the 49ers – probably one of the better teams in the league are out for revenge for last year’s loss in the playoffs to the Giants ..… have outscored their opponents by amazing numbers in the last 2 weeks ….. and they are playing at home. You been eating those tinted graham crackers again?
Well, John, maybe ummm .... maybe ummm, we can do a do-over? That will give me more graham crackers and maybe a chance to change my mind, you know, like after talking it over with you.
I got a couple more graham crackers for you girl, but .....
Alright John, I’m not backtracking. I really do think the Giants will win this game. If for nothing else to show Jacobs and Manningham they made the wrong decision to leave the Giants and sign with the 49ers. Besides the Giants have Eli."

So there you have it, a slightly less than confident camel and her pick for this week 6 of the NFL.  As a big blue fan I'm hoping that she is ultimately correct but even I am having my doubts.

This will be, in my opinion, the toughest game the Giants will play all year, more so than any game played thus far this year or any other game yet to come.

The 49ers are young, fast and explosive on both sides of the ball and will be able to move the ball readily against the Giants defense I'm afraid. And unless the Giants can get a solid running game  going against the 49ers defense (at least a 100 yrds) it will be a long day for Eli and the Giants.
