Road Warriors 2.0?

Sunday will mark the first of three straight games on the road for the New York Giants this season. It is something that doesn't happen often in the NFL, but happens from time to time.

As we know the three game span will start out in Dallas. Which in my opinion will be the toughest of the three games. They will be playing a Cowboys team that will be opening up their brand new stadium and Jerry Jones plans on squeezing over 100,000 fans into his Taj Mahal of a football stadium. The Giants will have to get even more familiar with the silent count during their preparation this week.

The second place they will have to travel to, will be Tamapa bay. In a sense this will be a breather of a game since they are going to sunny Tampa Florida. And lets face it Raymond James Stadium isn't the best home field advantage in the league. The Bucs are rebuilding, but in this day and age, any team can win on any given day.

The final place on the three game stretch will be in Kansas City against the Chiefs. The Chiefs have one of the NFL's top home field advantages in the league. Their fans are in the game no matter what the state of the team is. Though the Chiefs are rebuilding as well, I would expect them to put up a good fight. They have always been a team that plays hard no matter what. Even this past weekend against the Ravens they put up a good fight, but were just not able to overcome the Ravens talent.

In t the end what it comes down to is whether or not the 2009 Giants are warriors on the road like the 2007 team It is very difficult to win the NFL, and when you add in the difficulty of playing at another teams stadium it makes it even harder. The Giants were 7-1 on the road in '07 and 5-3 in '08 on the road. They have been one of the better road teams in the league over the past couple of seasons.

The way I see it is, if the Giants can come away with two out of three on the road, it will surely be a successful three game stretch.
