The degree of difficulty is going up this weekend, way up. Dallas finished with the best record in the NFC at 13-3 and dominated the Giants in two games already this season. Only New England had more points than Dallas’ 455 and with Terrell Owens practicing, the Cowboys should be able to score a lot this weekend.

After nine games it is clear that we do not really know what this Giants team is capable of. During their six-game winning streak, the defense looked like one of the best in the NFL but as yesterday’s 31-20 loss showed, they are hugely inconsistent. The same thing can be said of Eli Manning. Eli teases you with just enough brilliance to make you think he is about to live up to his hype,...

The Giants enter 2007 with more questions than answers. The biggest one is how are they going to replace the 2,100 yards of offense generated by Tiki Barber last season? They don’t get any easier after that though. Will Michael Strahan play well after missing all of training camp? Can David Diehl play left tackle? Is Eli ready to take the next step? Is the secondary any better? Has Tom Coughlin really changed?

think. It just made us wonder: if it were up to the -ist-a-verse, what would we be voting for?

Football is a game of momentum-swings and the Giants and Cowboys had plenty of those Monday night.

This is a game that the Giants should easily win and those are the most dangerous types of games in December. Philadelphia has been decimated by injuries and bad behavior. Their three best offensive players, Donovan McNabb Brian Westbrook and Terrell Owens are all out for the season. They are starting a former Rutgers player at quarterback and they just got destroyed by the Seahawks 42-0 on national television.

The bruised and battered Philadelphia Eagles limp into Giants Stadium fresh off a fourth quarter collapse Monday night against Dallas. As of right now, the Eagles will be without their two top offensive players, Donovan McNabb and Terrell Owens.

It seems as if Wayne Chrebet has played his last professional football game.

For the betting man, the Patriots are favored by seven points. Gothamist hasn't had much luck gambling this year, so we won't be wagering any money this year. That said, it's hard not to think the Patriots will win it again. The most dangerous player on the Eagles, Terrell Owens, is hobbled by a bad ankle, while the Patriots seem to be unstoppable in the playoffs.

Mike Holmgren's Seahawks are an interesting bunch, considered by some to be a legitimate NFC title contender, especially in a "Terrell Owens-suddenly-gets-injured-and-the-Eagles-are-grounded-once-again" World. Seattle's defense has forced 32 takeaways on the season. At 7-6, the team is still in contention for a playoff spot (St. Louis is 5-0 in the NFC West Division, but 6-7 overall).
