NFC Wildcard Game: New York Giants @ Philadelphia Eagles

Eagles -7
Rivalry games in the playoffs always add an extra element of intensity and excitement. These two teams split their series this year, each winning at the other team’s home. The Giants win was early in the year and was one of the greatest comebacks in franchise history. Since then, both teams have changed drastically. Therefore, it is more reliable to focus on their most recent game, a 14-point Eagle win in the Meadowlands three weeks ago. It was a tightly contested game that came down to a few plays in the fourth quarter. Plays the Eagles made and the Giants didn’t. Making plays and not making plays, Eagles and Giants. Yeah, that seems about right, the Eagles make plays and the Giants don’t. Some people want to cling to hope that this ‘new season’, the playoffs, allow a team to start all over again. Well, they don’t. All the injured players don’t comeback, all the bad memories of plays and games blown don’t go away. After 16 games teams show who they are and these two teams are heading in vastly different directions. The Giants one hope is that Kevin Gilbride’s play calling may catch the Eagles by surprise as they only have one game to study with him at the helm. Even with that, The Dean likes the Eagles minus the points and will play it for 5-stars.
