I believe this is critical info for those looking at the Jets/Egales game and we could certainly expect some line movement late on this game pending the result of the early Washington/Giants result. If the Giants win the Eagles are out of the playoff race. With an already 1-5 record they could be completely unfocused at game time and we already know the Jets need the win in the worse way.
For the miracle Eagle playoff hopes should the Redskins win:
The Eagles need to finish the season 3-0 against the Jets, Cowboys and Redskins.
The Cowboys need to finish the season 0-2 against the Eagles and Giants.
The Giants need to lose to the Redskins and Jets, but beat the Cowboys.
To recap, here's how the Eagles can be mathematically eliminated from the playoff race altogether on Sunday. One of the following two scenarios would have to play out:
The Giants beat the Redskins AND the Lions beat the Raiders.
(OR) The Giants beat the Redskins AND the Eagles lose to the Jets.
The total could move on this game and we could also see Vick suddenly pulled form the starting lineup if the Giants win. Stay Tuned.
