Yes. If they have the 5th spot clinched and aren't in contention for the Division Championship, they may rest some of their players. To win the Division, the Giants need to win both of their remaining games (@ Philly, @ Skins) and Dallas needs to lose both its two remaining games (Lions, @ Philly).

For the last game, both Dallas v. Philly and our game with the Giants are scheduled for 1/1/017 at 1:00 so, for NYG to be locked into the 5th spot (and, thus, be resting starters in our game), we need Dallas to beat the Lions or NYG to lose to Philly.

I am damn sick of hoping the Cowgirls win to improve our shot at the playoffs so I really want Philly to beat the Giants. I HATE Philly and love seeing them mired in blechiness so this is only slightly more palatable than rooting for the Cowboys - but since a NFC East rival has to win the game, might as well be the one that will likely work best for us.

Or ... we could just kick the Giants ass no matter who they put on the field.
