NFL games of the week

December 5, 2008 at 2:33AM

EAGLES (6-5-1) AT GIANTS (11-1)

G-Men move on without Plaxico

Plaxico Who? The Giants rushed for 219 yards in a 36-31 victory at Philadelphia in Week 10. Another loss and the Eagles are out of the playoff picture.

COWBOYS (8-4) AT STEELERS (9-3)

Classic football matchup

Anyone old enough to remember the '70s still enjoys this matchup. It also has a familiar feel with an exciting Cowboys passing game and a stout defense by the Steelers.

BUCS (9-3) AT PANTHERS (9-3)

Striking a blow for NFC South

The NFL's best division will be showcased Monday night. The Bucs won the first meeting 27-3 on Oct. 12, but they're also just 3-3 on the road.
