10:21 p.m. On the initial fool around of the second half, Steve Smith held his fifth pass of the diversion as good as his 83rd of the season. Thats the new single-season franchise record, violation Amani Toomers aged mark of 82, set in 2002.
Also, RT Kareem McKenzie is out of the diversion with the sprained MCL in his left knee. Rookie William Beatty has been receiving his place given late in the initial half.

8:06 p.m. Thanks to the San Diego Chargers, who beat the Dallas Cowboys 20-17 the little whilst ago, initial place in the NFC East is strictly upon the line during the Meadowlands tonight.
If the Giants win, they will be locked in the treble tie with the Eagles as good as Cowboys atop the multiplication with the jot down of 8-5. Theyll also have locked up the tie-breaker value in the eventuality of the treble tie given theyll have the 3-1 jot down in head-to-head matchups with those dual teams (the Cowboys as good as Eagles would each be 1-2 so far).
The Giants also have the head-to-head tie-breaker with Dallas already, thanks to their dual wins over the Cowboys. And if they win tonight, theyll be means to lock up the head-to-head tie-breaker with the Eagles if they also beat Washington next Sunday night as good as run their multiplication jot down to 5-1.
Of course, if the Giants remove theyll be dual behind in the multiplication competition with 3 games to fool around as good as the Eagles will have the tie-breaker by virtue of their sweep of the Giants, so all the upon top of tie-breaker stuff would be moot.

7:05 p.m. Nine months after giving him the four-year, $16 million contract, the Giants have strictly deactivated defensive tackle Rocky Bernard.
Its frequency the surprising pierce given how ineffectual hes been for most of the season. In fact, most of us were assured it was going to happen final week. But he is out of tonights diversion against the Eagle! s, as go od as its tough to see him getting most action the rest of the deteriorate either. Its substantially the beginning of the finish for the player who has been the large free-agent bust.
Meanwhile, in other surprising headlines
Rookie WR Hakeem Nicks gets the begin over Mario Manningham, who has been struggling with his route running all deteriorate long. Also, CB Aaron Ross gets the begin during safety, technically over C.C. Brown, though also over Michael Johnson, who is active though likely will be singular since of his strained groin.
As for the rest of the inactive, the list is full of the usual suspects: WR Ramses Barden, DB DJ Johnson, RB Gartrell Johnson, T Adam Koets, T Guy Whimper, WR Sinorice Moss, as good as TE Bear Pascoe.

5:34 p.m. Weather update: Its horrible here during Giants Stadium.
The foresee isnt doing it justice. The tarp is off the margin as good as there are giant puddles everywhere. Its not quite cold, though theres the solid sleet as good as its raw. From the press box window, which is in desperate need of the squeegee, it looks similar to the sleet is blowing sideways. But Im not sure thats the true denote of the breeze since its so foggy I cant see the flags atop the track across the margin from me.
Should be the fun night for football, presumption Im still means to see the margin when the diversion begins.

Will initial place in the NFC East be upon the line? How about the Giants chances of staying in the NFC wild-card hunt?
Well know long before kickoff, since dual early games will have outrageous implications for the Giants especially if they cant beat the Eagles tonight. The Green Bay Packers (8-4) have the lead in the NFC wild-card follow as good as theyre right away playing during Chicago (5-7). And later this afternoon, the Cowboys (8-4) fool around horde to the San Diego Chargers ! (9-3).
If both the Boys as good as the Packers win as good as the Giants remove well, the situation would be flattering dire. The Giants would be dual games behind in the wild-card follow with 3 to fool around as good as the NFC East would be all-but out of reach. Of course, if the Packers or Cowboys lose, the Giants could remove tonight as good as their wild-card situation would probably be unchanged. Theyd still be usually the single diversion behind with copiousness of time left.
Something to keep an eye upon in the long wait until kickoff tonight during the Meadowlands, where it is cold, stormy as good as raw.
And, by the way, according to The Weather Channel as good as weather.com, the kickoff foresee right away calls for temperatures in the low 40s, light sleet as good as yes, here come the winds. Sustained winds of around fifteen mph with higher gusts. And as we know, they regularly whirl the little faster inside Giants Stadium.
If youre going, skirt warm. Ill have the crater of prohibited chocolate for we up in the press box.
In the meantime, stick around right here all day for the best pre-game as good as in-game discussion as good as all the violation headlines we could presumably wish upon the Giants situation as good as this critical diversion tonight. Also, make sure to follow @TheBlueScreen upon Twitter to be the step or dual ahead of everybody else.
Enjoy the day
