Giants at Eagles

The golden-armed Eagles' QB Garcia and his talented receivers are favored to defeat the New York Giants in Sunday's first round playoff. The stat graphic below pictures the teams relative position in the league:

By comparison, 7 of the 8 Giants' losses were all weaker than average on pass D. Unless they can stop the Eagle's receivers, playmakers all, they are in trouble. Philly RB Westbrook earns over 9 yards per catch and led the list with 77 completions. Stallworth earned 19.1 yards per catch, Brown earned 17.1, Smith 12.2 and rookie Baskett had 22 catches for 21.1. This group led the league in yards per completion. If it weren't for the goal line a few may still be running.

With the Giants on offense, RB Tiki Barber is the shining hope. The key stat for the Giants is rushing first downs where they move the sticks 7.5 times per game. If the Eagles' rush D allows 7.9 then the clock control earned by RB Barber will keep them in the game.

The electronic hardware favors the Eagles by 8 1/2.
