1. Kenny Golladay has the game we’ve been waiting for

Sure, why not? The first three predictions were somewhat bold, but this is next-level bold. Golladay has just two catches for 22 yards this season, and has not played since injuring his knee in the Week 3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He will be back and fully healthy on Sunday, and this will be his breakout weekend.

Before the Giants loss to Seattle, Golladay told the New York Media the following:

"“I never have been a part of a team that was 6-1, so I’m definitely trying to get back out there. I get jealous of the guys in a good way. It motivates me even more to get out there with them just so I can put my little stamp on the game however that comes. If it’s in the blocking area, if it’s in the pass catching, that’s what I get jealous about just seeing those guys out there having fun with it.”"

That sound bite from Golladay seems like a drastic shift in perspective from training camp. Roman Poet Sextus Propertius famously said “absence makes the heart grow fonder” and maybe Golladay’s injury and lengthy absence has made him once again find a love for football.

There is no doubt Golladay is the most talented receiver currently on the Giants roster, and you know what, he is going to catch a touchdown this weekend.

The holiday season is here, and we’ll be saying “Happy Golladays” on Sunday. When Golladay catches a touchdown vs. Houston, MetLife Stadium will be so loud a seismograph will register an earthquake.
