I can't ever remember a week five game between a 1-3 and 0-4 team having as much fantasy and reality impact as this weeks' tilt between the Eagles and Giants.
From an NFL standpoint, the Giants are only two games out of first place and the Eagles only one. With Dallas playing Denver, the winner of this game is likely to either be tied for first or only a game out.
From a fantasy standpoint, there are the usual studs involved (Vick, McCoy, Jackson, & Cruz), guys who start in most leagues (E.Manning, Nicks, Myers), and guys who may be forced into action due to the bye week (B.Brown, Celek, D.Wilson, Randle).
Personally, I think this has the makings of a high scoring game. Two bad defenses against two underachieving, but talented, offenses. So, I think you have to roll with studs (obviously), but also there's potential for decent points from Eli, Nicks, & WIlson, too. Yes, I think this will be Wilson's coming out party. 100 on the ground with a score and maybe an additional one off of a screen.
Prediction: 34-31 Eagles
