1. DESERVE TO WIN
The Giants and their fans found themselves in the awkward position of rooting for the Cowboys on Monday night, and they gladly watched as Dallas defeated the Redskins in the final game of Week 13 to force a three-way tie atop the NFC East. While Big Blue will have to wait until Week 17 to improve its 2-3 record in the division, the Giants, Redskins, and Eagles are 5-7 overall as they enter the fourth quarter of the season. Of course, the Giants tried to avoid the need to scoreboard watch at this point in the season, but they dropped their last three games and four of the last five.
