00:00The Giants, kind of idiotically, beat the Colts last week, still want to win football games,

00:06we understand that, guys and professionals, but because of it, New York no longer controls

00:10the destiny of the number one overall pick. The Giants still in the running, but it looks

00:15unlikely. The Eagles have locked up the two-seed, would we see a chase for history

00:21out of Saquon Barkley on Sunday? We heard earlier this week, that will not be the case.

00:26The starters resting for Philadelphia, and yet, Bluent, the Birds remain a full field

00:31goal favorite at home against the G-Man. How do you see the game playing out?

00:36It's an interesting one, likely to get Tanner McKee under center after Kenny Pickett was hurt

00:42in relief of Jalen Hurts the other day, took a pretty nasty shot, did Pickett. I am not as down

00:50on the Giants for winning that game, Joe and I watched every second of it, that was more Colts

00:55failure than Giants victory, and Locke actually had a historic game. Giants fans, I get why

01:01they're fired up, but there's no guarantee that Shador Sanders or Cam Ward are going to fix your

01:05problems, or many other problems with the roster, and if they really need one of those quarterbacks

01:10and fall in love with them, they can trade up and make it the player of the future. But as far as

01:16this game is concerned, I think the reason it stays this way is because of the style in which

01:19Philly plays. They can run the ball regardless of who's back there, it'll be a lot of Kenneth

01:25Gainwell, and I think he would have the ability to have a pretty big game if there's Gainwell

01:29props that get released at some point. So I understand why this is a tight spread, that's

01:35definitely the best game that the Giants played all season was the other day, and I don't know

01:40that a team like that has it in them to go back to back. But I still feel uncomfortable with Philly

01:47laying the three. I think because it's a flat three, if you get it to three and a half, I probably

01:52end up taking the Giants, but wouldn't be surprised if Philly escapes with a field goal

01:56victory playing a lot of reserves.
