The Patriots are one of the most stable teams in the NFL, and as such, there aren't really any starting spots up for grabs on Thursday. There are, however, some exciting young players that are deserving of your attention. Wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins has been absolutely fantastic thus far in the preseason.

In New England's third preseason game, Thompkins hauled in eight catches for 116 yards, including two receptions of more than 25 yards each. He's an undrafted rookie, so he's not among those that will likely sit this one out in preparation for the regular season, so watching him make another bid for a roster spot and playing time will certainly be interesting.

There are many players vying for spots on the Giants' roster. The spots are definitely there, but there are an awful lot of players in line. Quarterbacks David Carr and Curtis Painter are vying for a backup spot, though both could possibly be out of a job. Da'Rel Scott and Ryan Torain are battling at the running back position. There might only be one receiver spot open for one of Kevin Hardy and Ramses Barden, as well.

Don't expect to see much of the Giants starters in this one.
