END OF THE ROAD? PROBABLY NOT!

The ultimate backs against the wall game for the ultimate backs against the wall team.  The Giants playoff hopes took a little hit this weekend when the Cowboys pulled off a small miracle Saturday night and actually won a game in December.  However the Green Bay Packers managed to lose to Pittsburgh yesterday on the final play of the game.  The GIANTS need to get a win tonight in Washington to prove they belong in the NFL playoffs, and to show they want to be in the NFL playoffs.
The GIANTS and Redskins are both beat-up on both sides of the ball.  Injuries abound on both rosters, with Washington down to their 5th running back of the year, their 3rd tight end, and a reworked offensive line.  The GIANTS have traveled to Washington with Kareem MacKenzie, and without Corey Webster.  Aaron Ross is a game-time decision.
The GIANTS will be mainly healthy on offense and even Tom Coughlin knows now that this is the unit that has to win these remaining games.  He will keep pushing tonight, putting points on the board whenever possible, throwing the deep ball to Nicks, and establishing the run early.  The Redskins have an excellent defense, especially against the run, look for Bradshaw to play as much as he is able, especially in short yardage.  His shiftiness seems to work better against Washington.  The Redskins have some DB's and Safeties out, they usually crowd the line and keep one safety deep, keying on the run on every play.
The GIANTS must double Santana Moss tonight, and keep an eye on the tight end.  The only guy that can really hurt you is Moss, the others need to be covered obviously, but they are extra parts.  The have a make-shift offensive line that shouldn't be able to push us around too much.  Of course this defense is not a typical GIANTS defense.

GIANTS have won 5 of last 6 against Washington, and believe it or not the Redskins could be looking towards next week when they play the Cowboys, who they lost to 7-6, a game they have dubbed their Super Bowl!

Giants favored by three...
