If McNabb goes in the tank tomorrow, yes the Giants probably win...but if McNabb just plays an average game and stays out of trouble, the Eagles win this game with no problem.
The Eagles are lucky to be here.

You must have been on sabbatical during the last Eagles-Giants game...the Eagles owned them...that score wasn't indicative of how much the Eagles dominated them...I see no reason that should change, again...unless McNabb pulls a "Jake Delhomme"
Akers was in a slight slump earlier in the season, but he's kicking like a machine again - he'll be fine tomorrow.
Plus the Eagles players are much hungrier to win a Super Bowl than the Giants who just won it last season.
And yes, technically the Eagles got lucky in the final week, however before the final game the Eagles were ranked third in the NFL in defense, and around eighth in offense - certainly those numbers improved after the Eagles slaughtered the Cowboys in that final game of the regular season - The Eagles are the best team right now in the NFL and deserve to go on and win the Super Bowl.
Akers has never kicked well in Giants Stadium. Tomorrow will be windy. Good. All the better for G-men ground game.
If Eagles win I will be here to congat you. However, this is a pipe dream for you.

One thing for sure - in my view this is like the NFC championship game - both these teams are definitely better than the Cardinals.

The positive for the Giants is that Jacobs has had a lot of rest, and I think he's ready to pummel some people. Hey don't forget that they're the Super Bowl Champs and they took down the 18-0 Patriots. They're a dam good team, and if they play their game they win.
Giants 13-10
I understand those on the outside looking in who feel they have some moral high ground.

Here's why the game is a toss up.
Substitute the names of the Giants playoff opponents from last year and you have the same result.
Don't count out the Eagles when you're team was in the same boat in the '07 season Giants fans.
Good luck, and bring on the "weenie childish humor." As if we' re all above that. Please.
This will be the first year I will be for the AFC team in the SB (unless it's Pittsburg) I HATE all 3 teams left.
Neither the Giants or Eagles are that good. Giants were lucky last year!!

Please stop comparing the Eagles to the 07 Giants.

( Unless its Pittsburg ) ===GO RAVENS.
No kidding aside. I don't think that the Eagles have it. Yes the Ravens destroyed them. Yes the Bengels played them up. Yes the Eagles HAVE played better since then.
But the truth of the matter is I won lunch from my Philly boss yesterday, by them no-good Ravens shutting down the Titans. I hope to win a bigger lunch , today if the Giants win this one. Actually I'd like ( not love ) to see the Eagles win, because the Ravens would beat the snot out of them again. That I would love.
Go Ravens !!!!

However, she picked the Cards. I told her that she was crazy. She just had a feeling.
Today the Oracle of Southwest Florida picks the Eagles.
Although I have a low level of confidence I'll go with her choice. It keeps us both happy.
She also has some concern with my pick for the Steelers going to the SB. She has the Ravens. We'll see about that one.
She has the Ravens and Eagles in the SB. No joke.
Did I mention that I am a very lucky man?

Here's the jinx for all the Giants fans.
She was born into a Giants family near New Brunswick, NJ.
Of course she has since seen the error of her ways and converted to the Midnight Green after being a 49ers fan (don't ask) for a few years.
Now I wouldn't want to go and do that?

Strahan of course plays the homer and picks the Giants.
Can't blame him. He may have to come back to keep up with those alimony payments.

Can't put it any better than this writer from the Philly Inquirer. I personally did not see the team making it this far.
Gigantic!
The Eagles beat the Giants.
The Eagles are headed to Arizona.
The Eagles could go to the Super Bowl.
(Pause to marvel.)
Anybody who saw this coming a month ago is clairvoyant. Anybody who saw it coming 2 weeks ago is a true believer. Because nobody else did. Because this was not supposed to happen. But it is happening. The sixth seed in the NFC playoff tournament went to New York and beat the top seed, 23-11. They were not stopped by fatigue. They were not run over by the Giants' vaunted running game. Their defense was outstanding and their offense was good enough and efficient enough.
And now, on to Arizona and the NFC Championship Game against a team that the Eagles pounded on Thanksgiving night. That is when this serendipitous run began. That is when this whole, crazy, unpredictable run started. If you saw it continuing on to the Super Bowl semifinals, you have better eyes than me.
Arizona.
NFC Championship Game.

You are living my high from a year ago. ENJOY........
Things could be worse for Giants fans. It could be Dallas in this position. This is why I can't stand the Eagles but can never really hate them

Well, they have 5 super bowls and are the only team to not give up a TD in a super bowl. They hold the record for playoff apperances. And the list goes on and on.
w/o checking .... no way.
what have they done lately? nothing.
"The answer was in the Patriots eyes. Gone were the swagger and c0ck sure smirks, replaced by downcast eyes and heads in hands. For his poise and leadership Eli Manning was named the game's MVP. The 2007 Giants were never perfect nor meant to be. They were fighters, scrappers....now they could be called something else, World Champions."
