For all their dominance, the Broncos are buoyed by a 38-year-old quarterback with failing legs. Their chief rival for the No. 1 seed, undefeated Kansas City, is not nearly as imposing as their record, despite a No. 1 scoring defense and Jamaal Charles? MVP campaign. The Patriots, when healthy, look like the AFC?s best team, but they won?t be 100 percent any time this season. Meanwhile, the Colts were just worked in their own building by a Brian Schottenheimer and Kellen Clemens-led offense and the Bengals continue to ebb and flow on Andy Dalton?s schizophrenic arm (and head).

Bills' GM Buddy Nix and Marrone both agreed the Bills needed to start over at QB and made the decision to take Manuel over Ryan Nassib, Marrone's QB at Syracuse, to lead their club into the future. Many felt that player would be Nassib, but the Bills needed to start this new chapter in their history with the right player under center.

"I don?t think I was very conflicted," Marrone said when asked about taking Manuel over Nassib. "I think that at the end of the day there are a lot of good quarterbacks in the draft and we were able to take the best quarterback that we felt fit us here in our situation in Buffalo."

Prepare for some Wildcateering this weekend when the Jets face off against the Buffalo Bills this weekend at MetLife Stadium! ?Yesterday Rex Ryan told reporters that the Jets will plan to use the plays in their Week One matchup against the Bills.

"I think if we don't," Ryan said, "everybody's going to be like, 'Wait a second. You guys have been saying about this Wildcat, and we haven't even seen one snap of it.' But, sure, we're going to run some Wildcat. There's no doubt."

While the defense was gashed on a couple of big plays, the Giants made enough plays to get by the Bills and win a very important game as they head into the bye.

So, let?s tackle the good, the bad and the ugly.

Both times, Giants' CB Corey Webster turned just in time to pick the ball off...

"The two interceptions I threw, you couldn?t ask for a better coverage, couldn?t ask for a better play, couldn?t ask for a better route. They were both the exact same thing with basically Stevie (Johnson) on a go route. I want to give credit to Corey Webster. He made plays on both of them.

Both teams also come into the game with struggling defenses, so we could be looking at a shootout.

Can the Giants, down many key players, keep up with the resurgent Bills?

The 3-2 Giants will play host to one of the league's biggest surprise teams this Sunday - the Buffalo Bills - who have jumped out to a 4-1 record and don't intend to revert back to their losing ways. From the NFL:

?What we went through last year, nobody wanted to go through again,? says Bills head coach Chan Gailey, whose team has already matched last season?s win total (four). ?We learned we could play in the big ball games and we were right there last year. We?ve learned this year how to find ways to win games in the clutch.?

Outside of a couple of ill-advised throws (one of which went for a Victor Cruz touchdown) Manning was fantastic last week, despite a porous offensive line and a lack of a running game. ?And unlike in real life, three touchdowns and three interceptions still makes for a very good fantasy day.

The Bills have forced a lot of interceptions, but are also the 25^th worst fantasy defense against quarterbacks.? I expect another strong fantasy day from Manning.

How will the Giants' porous run defense fare against the Bills' explosive rushing tandem of Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller? Even more important - can the Giants' offense secure the ball vs the ballhawking Bills' defense?

The crew at SNY's WheelHouse breaks it down...

When Bill Belichick goes out of his way to praise an opposing player on numerous occasions, chances are that he's a pretty good player.? That is the case with Fred Jackson, who is having his best season yet at age 30.?Jackson is third in the NFL with 480 yards, sporting a fantastic 5.3 yards per carry.

After being exposed by Beanie Wells and Marshawn Lynch the past two weeks, the Giants? run defense will have their hands full with the #4 rushing offense in the NFL. They are going to have to wrap up on every play, as Jackson is one of the best in the NFL at fighting for extra yards.

From the NFL....

At least they know this much: neither team is playing a stitch of defense. The Giants get the 3-point nod because they are at home. Not that that matters, since they are only 6-4 at the new stadium. Since MetLife opened last year, the Giants have won more games on the road (7) then they have at home.

The Bills are 3-0 at Orchard Park this year and 1-1 on the road. They are 4th in the league in rushing and aren't very careless with the football, sporting a league-best +11 turnover ratio. The Giants will have to earn this one.
