4. Giants vs. Jets – Week 13
I’m going to be honest, I didn’t want to pick this game because I’m really not sure how much of a must-win this is.
But you could look at this a number of ways and see why this game might come at a critical time for this Giants team. At this point, the Giants could be 5-6 or 6-5, so if they need to climb up to .500, or push to 7-5, and that could determine whether they keep pace for a Wild Card spot or not.
Also, it’s the first game of December, so we’re talking about a time when the Giants may need to go on a run to make it to the postseason. This could be the game where they start a possible playoff run.
And really, it’s the Jets. What Giants fan doesn’t want to beat the Jets? That makes it a must-win in itself… at lest in my eyes it does.
