New York Giants vs. Tennessee Titans

We’re getting into some mythology here, and this classic NFL showdown features two behemoths — the New York Giants and Tennessee Titans.

Growing up, all of us probably heard stories of Jack and the Beanstalk. Sure enough, Jack’s nemesis was a massive giant, defeated only by cutting the beanstalk and having the giant fall to his death.

Defeating the giant might have been a bit easier if Jack had the Titans on his side. These, of course, stem from Greek mythology and have given way to all sorts of Hellenistic legends and tales that shaped western civilization.

This gives the edge to Tennessee.
