JETS/GIANTS PREVIEW

    MIAMI DOLPHINS @  NEW YORK JETS

GIANTS STADIUM 1 PM 

EAST RUTHERFORD NEW JERSEY

        The New York Jets' three-game losing streak is over thanks to last week's blowout victory, but it would mean a lot more if they can get some revenge against the archrival Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Giants Stadium. It's the same venue where the Dolphins secured the AFC East title with a 24-17 victory over the Jets to close the 2008 regular season. New York didn't fare better in the rematch Oct. 12, losing 31-27.

However, it's the Dolphins (2-4) who are at the bottom of the division while New York (4-3) is on first-place New England's heels after a much-needed victory last Sunday. That 38-0 win in Oakland let the Jets not only snap their skid but regain some confidence. Their defense forced four turnovers and blanked an opponent for the first time in nearly six years despite playing its first game without nose tackle Kris Jenkins, who was lost for the season to a torn ACL the previous week against Buffalo. Cotchery will play.

The Picks:

Ed Tierney 

Jets 16-13

Robert Luckett

No Pick

Dolphins 23-13

NEW YORK GIANTS @ PHILADELPHIA EAGELS

PHILADELPHIA PA. 1PM 

         Although the cities of New York and Philadelphia will no doubt be focusing on the World Series matchup of the Yankees and Phillies this weekend, it will be difficult for fans not to turn their attention to the meeting between the Giants and Eagles. Making the game between the NFC East rivals all the more enticing is the fact that the Eagles ruined the Giants' hopes of repeating as Super Bowl champions last season. A busy Sunday of sports in Philadelphia starts at Lincoln Financial Field, where the Eagles look to hand the suddenly vulnerable Giants a third straight loss and gain at least a share of first place in the division. Before the Yankees and Phillies play Game 4 of the World Series at Citizens Bank Park, one of the NFL's fiercest rivalries will continue across the street. "We love it, we love it," Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabbsaid. "Everyone can tune into our game first and go to the bathroom and refresh your popcorn and drinks and then go out and watch the excellent baseball game." The Giants (5-2) lead Philadelphia (4-2) and Dallas in the division, with the Eagles set to host the Cowboys next weekend.
