If the New York Giants and Jets are going to make the postseason, let alone make a statement in their respective divisions, Sunday’s action is going to be huge.
The Giants (7-4-1) host the 11-1 Philadelphia Eagles at MetLife Stadium, trying to get back in the win column for the first time in a month, while doing the seemingly impossible to beat an Eagles team that comes in as a 7.5-point favorite.
Meanwhile, the Jets head north to face the first place Buffalo Bills (9-3). The last time they met, the Jets shocked Buffalo 20-17 in Week 9. That day the Jets started Zach Wilson at quarterback, and relied heavily on the running game to stun Buffalo. This time it’s Mike White’s turn against the Bills. And in case you’re wondering, White’s worst start of his career came against Buffalo last season when he tossed three picks.
So in short, both teams are going into Week 14 the deck stacked highly against them.
A win by either would shock many, but it would be a statement that would reverberate through the league that either, or both, is ready for some serious January football.
