[quote name='pimpinc333']The Eagles have been playing great the past 2 weeks. Needless to say that the Giants have dropped off within the past few games they played. They are going into this game off with 2 weeks off rest and no momentum what so ever. They are looking very shaky. The only way the Giants will beat the Eagles is if they rush for more then 200 yards. Eli will not beat the Eagles with his arm.[/quote]
The Eagles did not play great last week. If the Vikings had a semi-competent QB the score would have been much much closer and the Vikings might have even won. Tavaris Jackson was awful. They played great against the Cowboys (at home, moments after learning they were in with a win). I'm not saying the Eagles can't win - it should be a good game (and a division rival can always win on any day at any point in the season, IMO) but I don't know how you can say the Giants are looking shaky - after losing to the Eagles and Cowboys back to back (immediately following the Plax fiasco and without Jacobs!) they beat the Panthers when it mattered to secure home-field advantage. The loss to the Vikings was with their B-team. Jacobs and Ross didn't play and the starters only played a half and the Vikings still needed a last second 50-yard FG to beat them (and they were playing for their playoff lives at that point).
