Preview
This is yet another "biggest game of the year" for the New York Giants, who at 7-8 are on the fringes of a playoff berth. Despite losing six of their last seven games, all the Giants need to do is win tonight, and they're essentially in the playoffs, barring a miracle for the Green Bay Packers who would need to beat the Bears in Chicago and then have the strength-of-victory tiebreaker over the Giants to get in.

The injury woes continue for the Giants, as Michael Strahan and Luke Petitgout were both placed on injured reserve this past week and will miss tonight's game and the playoffs should New York get in. The most recent addition to the injury list is tight end Jeremy Shockey who will miss tonight's game due to a sprained ankle. Offensive lineman Rich Seubert will also be out.

The Giants dominated the Redskins in Giants' Stadium back on October 8th, beating Washington 19-3. Things are different now for the Giants, however, as they were a healthy team back in week five and were not on the outs with head coach Tom Coughlin. One unidentified player said today about Coughlin: "You think the fans don't like him? The players don't like him, either. We're tired of listening to him."

The Redskins sit at 5-10 and have no shot at making the playoffs. First-year quarterback Jason Campbell has taken the reigns of the offense, posting a 73 passer rating in six games. The 25-year old out of Auburn has thrown eight touchdowns and five interceptions during his tenure. Even though this game means virtually nothing for Washington, they would still love nothing more than to end the season of a division rival.

Prediction: The Giants pull together and decide to make one final run at a Super Bowl. They take it 24-10.
