Monday Night Football tonight will feature a big match up between the Indianapolis Colts and the New York Giants. This will be a key game for both teams and will have big Playoffs implications for both as the 2014 NFL regular season stretches into its second half.

Today's big game between the Giants and Colts will start at 8.30 p.m. ET and tonight takes place from the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. ESPN will be broadcasting the game live, and will also feature the game online through live stream - free for subscribers - via the link provided below.

The Colts come into today's game on 5-3 and are currently way out in front in the AFC South. The division is weak this season with no other team even on .500; the Houston Texans are second with 4-5, the Tennessee Titans are third with 2-6, and the Jacksonville Jaguars' 1-8 is good enough for the basement spot.

The New York Giants meanwhile are struggling to remain relevant in the NFC East, which has shot into life this season after being one of the weakest divisions last term. The division is quickly turning into a two horse race between the 6-2 Philadelphia Eagles and the 6-3 Dallas Cowboys.

The Giants are currently back in third place in the division with 3-4, and if they lose again today it will be the nail in the coffin for them barring an extraordinary win streak throughout the second half of the season. If they can claim an unlikely win today they will move back to .500, which would be just a game back from the Cowboys and give them a chance again.

However, to win tonight they will have to take down a rampant Andrew Luck and his Indianapolis Colts. The Colts are posting an average of 452.2 yards per game with a massive 336.5 yards on pass. That compares to the paltry 332.7 total yards for the Giants, who are also posting just 219.1 passing yards on average per game.

On rush, the teams are level peggings, with the Colts posting 115.8 yards per game, where as the Giants are registering 113.6 yards on the ground per game.

The quarterback match up leans heavily towards the Colts, with Andrew Luck going 225 on 347 for 2,731 yards and an impressive 22 touchdowns. That compares to Eli Manning, who is 146 on 225 for 1,573 yards and 14 touchdowns.
