Philadelphia Eagles (10-6-1) vs New York Giants (12-4) NFL Playoffs Divisional Picks: Last season, the New York Giants entered the playoffs as the NFC’s 5th seed, but managed to run the table and win a Super Bowl title. Last year, everything came together late in the season for the G-Men, as they simply rode that momentum eventually upsetting one of the greatest teams ever. Does it sound familiar? Well it should, as this very much sounds like this season’s Philadelphia Eagles.

After clinching the NFC’s top seed with a victory over the Carolina Panthers, the Giants stumbled to finish off the regular season, dropping three of their last four games. “The regular season is over, whatever the numbers might be,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “We have been cast into a situation where we had the bye. You heard me say that I thought the bye was good for our team. I don't know that I would necessarily say that every year. In this case, I thought it was.” The OVER/UNDER for this, Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Giants NFL Playoffs NFC Divisional Picks has been totaled at a combined 38½ points.

The Giants are coming off a much-needed bye, which allowed some of their players to rest and gear up to defend their title. "Last week was good for us," said New York's Eli Manning. "We got some good work in during those two practices, but it's good that we now know who we are playing.

"We are excited to get to work this week. We need a good week of practice and preparation because it's about execution at this time of year, especially against a team we face twice a year in games that always seem to come down to the fourth quarter."
