Game Preview: The Patriots and Giants play their final preseason game with the start of the regular season one week away. Fans will be watching to see if either team plays their starters. The fourth preseason matchup functions as a game where the backups take the majority of the snaps as NFL teams make their final roster cuts.

Jimmy Garoppolo struggled in his last preseason outing, and it will be worth watching how the Patriots handle him in the final preseason matchup. New England will rely on Garoppolo for the first four games of the season with Tom Brady suspended for the start of 2016.

The Giants have as good of a chance as any of winning the NFC East. New York bolstered their offense by adding rookie wideout Sterling Shepard who has impressed in camp and is expected to be the second receiving option to Odell Beckham, Jr.
