Giants lose to ‘Skins, if they beat Oakland, they win the NFC East title
Final: Redskins 35, Giants 20
The Giants lost the game that they could have clinched the NFC East. They lost to the Redskins on the road. Santana Moss and Clinton Portis burned the Giants and went on to win their 4th straight game. There were some bad calls made by the referees that put the game away in the 4th quarter.
The Giants need to beat Oakland to win the division, and that’s that. They cant just lose because the Redskins are going to beat the Eagles, and if the Redskins win and the Giants lose, the Redskins win the NFC East. Kerry Collins will look to get his revenge against the Giants for booting him out of New York to make room for Eli Manning.
The Giants offered him a spot as a mentor/backup to Eli Manning, but he declined, and Kurt Warner came, and soon failed. Kerry Collins moved on to Oakland, where Rich Gannon was the starter at the time, but soon broke his neck and sat out for the rest of the season. Now, Rich Gannon is retired and Kerry Collins has the job in Oakland, who is 3-11 right now. Oakland, to me, is a good team with a hard schedule. If they had an easier schedule, I think they would be close to a wild card spot right now. The Giants, 10-5, can clinch the division, which would give them a home game in the playoffs if they win.
Look for Kerry Collins to throw passes to Moss and Porter as the Giants defense gives up too many big passes, but also look for Osi Umenyiora and Michael Strahan to sack Kerry Collins multiple times.
GIANTS AT REDSKINS!!!
“People keep talking about the game we had how ever many weeks ago against the Redskins, and it’s completely not in play for this one,� Barber said. “It’s a different point in the season, it’s a different set of circumstances for both of our teams. We have to go down there and neutralize their big advantage, the crowd, and their confidence coming off that huge win against the Cowboys.�
“This is a big game for us,� quarterback Eli Manning said. “And everybody around the locker room knows that and we just have to have a good plan and go out there and find a way to win the game.�
With a win, the Giants clinch the NFC East division title. With a Minnesota loss, the Giants clinch a playoff berth. The Redskins can clinch a playoff berth with a win, Atlanta loss, Minnesota loss, and Dallas loss. For the Giants to get a First-Round Bye, the Giants need the Panthers and the Bears to lose one game each this week or next week. The Redskins defense will be all over Eli Manning and the Giants today, trying to pay back for the 36-0 shutout that the Giants handed the Redskins in week 8. Other than last week, the last time that Tiki Barber had a 200 yard rushing game was in week 8 against the Redskins. Watch for the Redskins crowd to be very loud and try to make the Giants get false starts.

Tiki Torture- Giants beat Chiefs
Final: Giants 27, Chiefs 17
Tiki Barber ran all over the Chiefs.
Tiki Barber found a way to break tackle after tackle to score two touchdowns, and so did WR Amani Toomer, just barely picking up his knee, and running for a touchdown. Tiki barber set records and ran all over the Chiefs, who are falling out of the playoff race after 2 losses in a row to NFC East teams. Eli Manning has not been accurate at all and he is throwing an interception nearly every game now. He does lead the NFC in touchdown passes, though. The Giants, though, can win their division with a win next week against the Washington Redskins. Antonio Pierce for the Giants will be out another few weeks most likely with a high ankle sprain.
