NFL Week 17 GameDay: Philadelphia (4-11) at Giants (8-7)

Eagles? RB LeSean McCoy has trampled the Giants recently, averaging over 120 yards per game in his last three vs New York.

The Giants (8-7) will attempt to keep their faint playoff hopes alive when they host their biggest nemesis ? the 4-11 Philadelphia Eagles ? today at MetLife Stadium.

What?s at stake for the Giants?..they need to win and have Chicago, Minnesota and Dallas all lose in order to continue playing this season. A win would also give the Giants a winning season at 9-7 and recapture some of the pride they lost the second half of the season.

What?s at stake for the Eagles?..not much. Andy Reid is almost certainly gone as is Michael Vick. They would like nothing more than to ride into the sunset with another knockout of the Giants on their belts.
