32. New York Giants (32) – Play Monday Night vs. Eagles
Do the New York Giants have a fighting chance to knock off the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football? As much as the Giants want to believe they can pull off a win like the Miami Dolphins did over the Eagles, this seems like an absolute long shot.

For starters, New York hasn’t won a single game since the end of September when Daniel Jones made his second career start, and is currently riding an eight-game losing streak heading into Monday’s meeting in Philadelphia.
And speaking of Jones, with the rookie quarterback dealing with an injury, the Eagles will get to see a familiar face in Eli Manning, who hasn’t played since all the way back in Week 2.
An experienced two-time Super Bowl champion like Manning would seem like the perfect candidate to come out firing in a divisional game like this, but outside of Saquon Barkley, the veteran doesn’t exactly have the best weapons to work with.
Take this into consideration with the Eagles’ defense expected to be fired up after seeing what took place in Miami a little over a week ago, Manning and the Giants could be in for a long night with a ninth loss in a row seeming more likely to take place.
