The Philadelphia Eagles need one more slip up to encourage an NFC East tie with the New York Giants. New York hosts the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Picking off lowly teams will be key for the Giants, and that skill becomes more valuable by the week. New York has a lot of wins over a lot of bad teams, but leaving those teams out will help them make the playoffs.

Detroit earned an electrifying win over the Bears last week, but this is one of those classic games where a midsize team could easily beat the Giants. Jared Goff just needs to throw some accurate passes and surprise the Giants defense. It feels like one of those games.
