Collins Looks To Slay Giants

Kerry Collins of the Oakland Raiders has a big game ahead of him tonight - matching up against his old team the New York Giants. He just might want a little vengeance on the team that ditched him for Eli Manning.

Collins was by all accounts very hurt when the Manning thing happened. He really liked being with the Giants. Just four seasons after Collins took the Giants to a When Accorsi finally got his man on draft day, Collins figured that was it.

He (Collins) could have hung about serving as a mentor for Manning but he declined. He was released later that day.

Collins said that any time you face a team that you once played for, you want to be at your best. To say Collins will be motivated would be an understatement. He might just want to show someone at the NYG that they made the wrong decision in letting hime go.

Oakland lead the series 7-2 and won the last game 28-10 back in 2001 - they have also won the past four meetings. The last Giants win was 34-17 sixteen years ago. The Giants have played twice in Oakland. Losing both games.

Pro football betting spreads for this game currently have Oakland as +8 underdogs.
