PHILADELPHIA vs NEW YORK GIANTS: Tom Coughlin is so practiced in the fine art of obsessive caution, he will fib to the media about practically every innocuous, trivial matter.And so again Friday, he was asked simply whether he pays attention to the NFC standings, and to the tiebreakers, that make this game Sunday night against the Eagles triply important. "No," Coughlin said." Philadelphia Eagles. That's all." On the same day that Coughlin was saying this, however, he also was passing out information to players that detailed the NFC EAST standings, the teams' records against their own division and against their own conference. HE WANTS THIS GAME; BADLY according to WAR. This game will be played back to the basics. hard-nose running NFC Style. With the potential for some rain and snow at Meadowlands Sunday night, Brandon Jacobs expects his workload to increase. And he said it's even more important to emphasize the running game and "smash-mouth football" against the Eagles. Jacobs finally broke out of his season-long slump with a 74-yard touchdown reception last Sunday when he caught a four-yard pass and took it 70 yards down the sidelines. A year after shoving the NFL around with two 1,000-yard rushers in their backfield, they're averaging 124.6 rushing yards per game, good for just 10th place in the league. WAR loves running the ball and good defense. Look for NY Giants to controlm the clock much like they did against the Cowboys.

Game Date/Time: December 13, 2009, 1:15 pm(PST) Matchup: San Diego Chargers @ Dallas Cowboys
Take: Dallas Cowboys
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS vs. DALLAS COWBOYS: The Cowboys have a stout 8-4 record and a share of first place in the NFC East, but the outlook isn?t so great. An ugly loss to the New York Giants last weekend stripped away the good vibes of a 6-1 wave they had been riding. Avoiding a second straight loss is a must because next up is a trip to New Orleans to face the currently undefeated Saints, and because a two-game losing streak would play into the perception/reality of another promising season going down the drain in December and early January. WAR doesn't see that happening. WAR says the addition to a go to receiver in Austin has Romo happy. The past experience is behind them and they have learned from that. They enjoy a great homefield advantage and this game is all set to use that for a victory. WAR notes they haven?t lost consecutive games all season and won't start now. This game will come down to one area of play: Dallas, the NFL's ninth-ranked rushing defense will be counted on to slow down a hot Chargers squad. San Diego has won seven in a row despite ranking 30th in the league in rushing offense. This bolds well for the Cowboys...
