The hated rival Philadelphia Eagles are coming into town on Sunday for a big showdown of struggling NFC East teams.  Since it is Friday, that means it is also GMEN HQ Staff Predictions time!

Here is a run down of last week’s questions:

1. Over/Under 5.5 sacks for the Chiefs? Under (3)
2. Over/Under 65 rushing yards for the Giants? Over (98 yards)
3. Over/Under 340 passing yards allowed by Giants defense? Way under (200 yards)
4. Who will lead the Giants in receptions and will Nicks attempt to throw the ball to himself? Victor Cruuuuzzzz by a ton (10 receptions)
5. Over/Under 7.5 penalties by the Giants? Under (7)
6. Will the Giants move one step closer to the first overall pick and Jadeveon Clowney? (Final score of the game) Yep, Giants were crushed 31-7.
Bonus Question: Will Andy Reid more resemble the Kool-Aid man or a walrus on Sunday? Kool-Aid man! His mustache seems less Walrus looking this year.

Here is the leaderboard through four miserable weeks:

1 Ricky – 10 + 3 = 13
2 T Kaz – 7 + 5 = 12
3 Josh – 7 + 3 = 10
4 Me – 7 + 2 = 9
5 JT – 4 + 4 = 8
7 (T) Cousin Matt -6
7 (T) James F – 6
8 Adam – 4
9 Tom – 3

T Kaz had a very strong week, but Ricky is still holding onto his lead. JT is climbing out of the cellar and newcomer Adam had a very good start.

Finally, here are this week’s questions:

1. Will David Wilson get over 15 carries?
2. Over/Under 2.5 sacks for the Giants?
3. Will the Giants have their first scoring drive over 10+ plays on the season?
4. Over/Under 850 yards total offense for both teams combined?
5. Who will have more turnovers Michael Vick or Eli Manning?
6. Will the Giants FINALLY break through and get a win this year, or do they force all of their fans to drown themselves in alcohol for a 5th consecutive week?
