Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone and your families.
Welcome to Week 16 of the regular season of the NFL.
This week has a ton of playoff implications, as does our feature game of this story.
The New York Giants sit at 8-6 and are tied for first place in the NFC East with the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins.
They suffered an embarrassing 34-0 loss last Sunday to the Atlanta Falcons, which took away their sole lead of the NFC East.
Now, they head to M&T Bank Stadium to face the reeling Baltimore Ravens.
Baltimore is in first place of the AFC North at 9-5, but they have lost three in a row and only have a one-game lead over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Baltimore needs to get a win to hang onto its division lead, while the Giants are trying to keep their playoff hopes alive.
A loss today could in fact end their chances at getting back to the postseason and defending their Super Bowl title.
Or will Big Blue make another playoff run that starts with a Week 16 resurgence, just like one year ago?
