Eagles vs. The Giants
December 13, 2009 in Uncategorized by Steve Shoup
Tonight’s game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants is about more than just division rivalry or payback (for the 40-17 shellacking the Eagles gave the Giants). Serious playoff implications are on the line tonight as the Eagles come into New York at 8-4 and in 2nd place in their division. The Giants started the season 5-0 and seemed destined to win the NFC East, but are now sitting at 7-5 and one spot out of the playoffs. Tonight’s game is a must win for the Giants and a needed win for the Eagles.
While the actual postseason won’t be decided tonight I think the Giants win and show they are still a force in the NFC. I think they win by 10 with an impressive 31-21 showing. With the Vikings and Saints already clinching the playoffs and the Packers win today the Giants are up against the wall. I think they will rise to the occasion.
