=======================================================
This week's games:
NYG "rivals" for top picks
---------------------------
CLE win over GB could help NYG get #1 pick
SF win over HOU could help
IND win over BUF could help
DEN win over NYJ could help
TB win over DET could help
Other results can help the Giants in tiebreaks - particularly losses by PHI and WAS.
Yes thank you! CHI over CIN could help.
I know we are accustomed to this team ripping our hearts out with meaningless late season wins, but I honestly see no chance for them to beat Dallas this week. They just don’t have the fire power right now. The emotions of the week may provide an initial jolt but reality will set in when they get smacked in the mouth
Of course root for the Giants. Its just that by the 4qtr we will see that is pointless...
