You think so?
The Giants will face some pretty stiff tests inside their Conference here in the second half. They have the Eagles twice, Washington twice, Green Bay, Minnesota, and the Jaguars after they blow out Dallas tommorrow.
Your Eagles still get two gimmes against Dallas, The Texans and their awful defence in Philly, @ Chicago who can't protect their QB, plus the two head to head games with the Giants, and the Vikings at home.
Atlanta on the other hand has already played all the AFC games, their toughest Division game, and one of the other two tough games on their schedule. Their remaining schedule sees them play @ St.Louis, Green Bay, @Tampa, @Carolina, @Seattle, New Orleans, and Carolina. All their tougher games are at home.
Green Bay and New Orleans are still in the mix too for being the top team, but I think those teams will be in tough to post a better record than the Falcons or Giants. Realistically I think you can book the Giants, Eagles, Packers, Falcons, and Saints as being your playoff teams. Leaving only the winner of the NFC West to be determined, and come tommorrow evening that Division could have 3 teams at 4-5 and one at 3-6. Chicago, Minnesota, and Washington are all possibilities, but those teams all have major enough issues where I can't see them threatening the top 5.
