The New York Giants will take on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon in one of the match ups of the day in the NFL. The 49ers will be eager to gain revenge over the Giants for last season and they have been on form so far this season, winning every game except one blip on the road to Minnesota. The game will begin at 4.25 p.m. ET and can be watched free online via a live stream (link provided below).

Last season the 49ers suffered heart break when the Giants beat them in the 2011 NFC championship game. This will be the first time San Francisco will have a chance at revenge and so far they have been firing on all cylinders through the first five weeks - they are probably favorites to take this one.

In past seasons the Giants have been able to pressure opposing quarterbacks with a pass rush led by Osi Umenyiora, Justin Tuck, and Jason Pierre Paul. However, they have struggled to do that this season so far and it has shown. The Giants have just eight sacks this season to date, and they will need to improve on that and pressure the 49ers a lot more if they are to win on the road in San Francisco.

The front four for the giants have not succeeded enough in their blitzes, and have allowed 105 points from their five games so far.

The defense will have to play a lot better against the 49ers or they will be on the receiving end of a heavy defeat.

Especially against the 49ers’ Alex Smith - who so far has been the best quarterback in the NFL through Week 5. Eli Manning on the other hand, although he hasn’t been poor, he has not been able to turn the screw as much on the opposition and whereas last season he came up with numerous match-winning late drives, this season the Giants have come up short a few times.
