PICK: EAGLES
Running back
Eagles: The Giants have not had much success neutralizing Brian Westbrook. In his last four games against them, he's averaged 142 yards from scrimmage and 5.4 yards per rushing attempt. The Giants will try to hold up Westbrook when he releases out of the backfield and becomes a receiver.
Giants: Using a three-headed rushing attack headed by 264-pound Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward, the Giants have morphed into the Steelers. In the last five games, they've averaged 32.4 rushing attempts to 28.8 passing attempts. Jacobs (5.2 yards per carry) is the truck, Ward (6.1) the sports car.
PICK: EAGLES
Receiver
Eagles: Eagles wide receivers have 102 receptions in eight games, but just four TDs, which is only two more than Correll Buckhalter and Todd Herremans. Kevin Curtis has played 118 of 144 offensive snaps in the two games since his return from a sports hernia. He's got nine catches for 128 yards.
Giants: The Giants' potent ground game is going to have the Eagles' LBs in attack mode, which could leave them susceptible to play-action passes to the tight end. TE Kevin Boss has seven catches in the last two games, but injured his ankle vs. Cowboys. WR Plaxico Burress has been a matchup nightmare for the Eagles.
PICK: GIANTS
Offensive line
Eagles: Donovan McNabb has been sacked just 13 times in 288 attempts, or once every 22.2 attempts. That's far and away the best attempts-per-sack ratio of his career. The line has committed just nine penalties in the first eight games, and just three in the last four. They've only been flagged for holding three times.
