1. Philadelphia Eagles

Since the New York Giants haven’t won a single game since the end of November, one would think the Philadelphia Eagles should be able to win with ease, right?

If only the Eagles weren’t recently embarrassed by the Dolphins in Miami, Philadelphia would feel a lot more confident in their team ending the regular season on a hot note to put the team in better position to finish on top of the NFC East ahead of the Dallas Cowboys.

Instead, this seems like the ultimate trap game for the Eagles since the Giants have nothing to play for at this point other than a spoiler role for remaining teams looking to make a final push for a playoff spot.

Plus, if Eli Manning ends up starting over Daniel Jones due to the rookie dealing with an injury, the two-time Super Bowl champion could find himself auditioning for a job elsewhere in 2020, meaning he could be feeling extra motivated.

Words can’t even describe the frustration surrounding Philadelphia failing to come up big in key games to put them in better position for the NFC East title, and a loss to New York would seem like the icing on the cake for what has been a tough 2019 season at times.
