Now we've got two games at home that ought to be utter walk-overs, before
going down to the Meadowlands to wrap up the regular season, 16-0. Mixed
feelings about that last game - I was a Giants fan for many years before
the
Pats joined the NFL, and they're still my second favorite team. I really
don't
enjoy watching their pre-season match up for that reason. And I'm hoping
for a
good clean game with a respectable score there, as well.

I have an awful feeling the last game against the Giants might be
meaningless, and here's why:

The Cowboys have already clinched the NFC East, so all the Giants are
playing for is the Wild Card. If they beat Washington at home this week,
they're in. If they lose, they'll have to wish for loses from the Titans and
the Vikings. If they both win, the Giants will probably have to win @
Buffalo, who are also fighting for a Wild Card spot in the AFC.

Whoo, enough of that, wiping the sweat off my forehead.
Bottom-line; if the Giants beat Washington this week they can rest against
Buffalo and New England and prepare for the Wild Card game, which I believe
Tom Coughlin would do instead of trying to play spoiler and risk injury to
advance in the playoffs.
