Giants/Eagles Recap and Week 16 Picks

Hello everyone!  I’m just going to do a quick recap of last night’s game and include the picks for tomorrow’s games.

Final 1 2 3 4 T

Giants

(10-5, 3-4 away)

10-5

3 10 3 3 19

Eagles

(6-9, 5-2 Home)

6-9

14 7 0 3 24

What I Thought was going to Happen:  The Giants were going to smack the Eagles in Philly and officially clinch a playoff spot and maybe even have an outside shot at the #1 seed.

What Actually Happened:  Poor quarterback play by Eli Manning (three interceptions) doomed New York in this one.  Carson Wentz got some additional experience added to his NFL resume, and Philadelphia pulled off the upset.

How does this impact the Playoff Picture:  Well the Dallas Cowboys just clinched Home-Field advantage throughout the NFC Playoffs with the #1 seed so they couldn’t be more thrilled by this result.  As for the Giants, they must travel to Washington and they need to beat the Redskins or else they could be out in the cold and miss the playoffs for another season.

Stay classy everyone and have a Merry Christmas.  Tomorrow I will post my Ravens/Steelers, Broncos/Chiefs, and Lions/Cowboys preview.  Here are the rest of my picks.   I’m 140-83-2 on the year.

Rams over 49ers

Raiders over Colts

Chargers over Browns

Packers over Vikings

Redskins over Bears

Texans over Bengals

Falcons over Panthers

Saints over Buccaneers
