The red hot Giants are playing the underperforming Eagles tonight.  The line has moved from Giants as a 3 point favorite to now a Eagles 1.5 point favorite.  The game will be streaming live on Twitter again tonight for free, as well as NBC and NFL Network on TV.

Giants have a ton to play for tonight.  Believe it or not, they can still win the NFC East if they run the table and Cowboys lose the next two.  And even crazier, Giants still has a (slim) chance to miss the playoffs if they lose the last two games and a few other teams win out.

Pro handicapper, Fezzik, is picking the Eagles for tonight’s game on the basis that Eagles outgained them in the previous matchup and that Eagles has had to play a tougher schedule.  But get real, as a Chargers fan myself, I know all about tough losses.  You are who you are in the NFL, doesn’t matter how you lose or how you win.  Bill Simmons keeps bringing up the prospect of a Super Bowl trilogy this year, another Patriots vs Giants superbowl.  That’s definitively possible with the Giants defense on fire.

Somebody please convince me why I should not slam the Giants tonight?
