2. Kenny Golladay snags his first touchdown in Giants blue

You wanted bold predictions, here is a bold prediction: Kenny Golladay will catch his first touchdown pass as a New York Giant on Sunday afternoon. After recording just two catches for 22 yards vs. the Titans, Golladay has a pretty favorable matchup this weekend. Golladay a 6-4, 213- pound receiver, will be matched up against two smaller Carolina cornerbacks, 6-1, 200-pound Jaycee Horn and 5-10, 180-pound Donte Jackson.

Golladay excels in contested catch situations, and with an extra 3-5 inches on each of the cornerbacks, you better believe Mike Kafka will draw up multiple jump balls in the corner of the end zone for Golladay, and he will come down with at least one. Golladay has a monster contract for a reason, as he was a proven Pro-Bowl caliber receiver in Detroit who excelled in contested catch situations. He will get back to that form this Sunday.

The good vibes are all on the Giants side right now, so it would make perfect sense for the embattled Golladay to pull down a touchdown on Sunday.
