New York Giants (8-3)

Games Remaining:

At Pittsburgh (6-5), Dallas (11-1), Detroit (7-4), at Philadelphia (5-6), at Washington (6-4-1)

Finally a team Minnesota holds a tiebreaker over!

But the Giants should not be celebrating any playoff berths just yet as they have quite the schedule ahead of them. It may seem very unlikely, but a five-game losing streak to end the season and tarnish New York’s hope of the postseason could produce the greatest Eli Manning face anyone has ever seen.
