Giants’ Week 8 rooting guide: What does Big Blue need to help its NFC standing?

Writer Jake Elman outlines the ideal Week 8 scenarios for the New York Giants (4-2-1) as they observe their bye week. Elman argues that the best divisional outcomes for the Giants are an Arizona Cardinals upset victory over the Dallas Cowboys (3-4) and a Washington Commanders win over the Philadelphia Eagles (2-5).

According to the writer, an Eagles defeat would severely damage Philadelphia's postseason chances following four straight conference losses. The article highlights that these results would solidify New York's position atop the NFC East heading into upcoming matchups against Philadelphia and Washington.
