1. Week 18 at the Philadelphia Eagles

This could very much make or break the Giants’ chances of reaching the playoffs. On paper, the Eagles are the better team and after pounding the G-Men 48-22 in East Rutherford, more of the same would obviously be expected at Lincoln Financial Field.

HOWEVER, there’s one big thing to keep in mind here: Philly may not have anything to play for. If the Eagles keep on rolling and lock in the No. 1 seed in the NFC, would they really want Jalen Hurts, Miles Sanders, A.J. Brown and other superstars out on the field for the regular-season finale and risk injury?

Probably not. Meanwhile for NY, this could be the game needed for them to move on. Daboll and Co. will give it their all to bring home the victory. On one hand, the Eagles would love to keep the Giants out of the playoffs.

However, they’re not going to put Hurts and others in jeopardy to make that happen. The Eagles are eyeing a Super Bowl – their focus isn’t on playing spoiler come Week 18. If all those dominoes fall into place, then maybe the Giants do win…

Prediction: Giants 27, Eagles 20
