So who are we rooting for today?

[BlueDemon]

The Jets? - YES

The Steelers to beat Carolina - Yes

And now what about the Eagles? do we really want them to win and come into Texas Stadium , where we are not that great , on a roll? on X-Mas Nite? Do you wanna face the tricky Jeff Garcia in a big spot - FOR THE DIVISION!???
I'm not sure

Yes I'm thinking the same thing but then I realize it doesn't matter who we want to win. The reality is that "what will be will be" irregardless of what we want. Since I doubt Eagles/Giants tie & both can't lose, we are stuck with whoever wins. But it all doesn't matter if we take care of our own business; in other words we need to win both remaining games which means we will the NFC East title and secure #3 seed in the playoffs. Of course should NO falter in 2 remaining games (which I doubt) we could regain #2 seed.

I'm actually more scared of the Giants, in the playoffs. I think the Giants could catch fire and go to the SuperBowl if they get healty and on a roll. For that reason, I would rather see the Eagles squeak one out. I think we can outscore them next week.

What does scare me about the Eagles next week is the fact that Garcia lives off the short dump offs and TE throws. The same thing Brees did to us.

Root for the Jets beat Minnesota,

the Steelers to beat Carolina,

The Commanders to beat the saints (in the slight chance to get the 2nd bye),

And I would go with the Eagles over the Giants, since we have a chance to take the Eagles at home, and also hope that the Giants can beat the Saints next week for that 2nd bye)...

You never know.......

I would prefer the Eagles to win. If they lose today, they will be "playing for their playoff lives" next week. They will have more of a sense of urgency.

Plus, if they beat the Giants, that would make the Giants an extra game back. Then we beat the Eagles next week, we will win the division.
