Eagles QB Michael Vick thinks a pet dog would be good therapy. Vick won’t get that opportunity soon, but he’ll get the chance to watch the Giants “dogs” run all over his Eagles defense.

On Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles travel up the turnpike to take on the Giants in Week 15 NFL action. The winner gets sole possession of first place in the NFC East playoff race.

Expect the game to be a throwback, smash-mouth football game. The Giants will try to control the ball, and the clock with their rushing game. The Eagles, on the other hand, will lean on the throwing and running abilities of QB Michael Vick.

Although the Eagles won the first meeting (27-17), the Giants are healthier than ever and playing their best defense. The Giant “D” is confident that they will be able to contain Michael Vick and keep the Eagles from scoring.

But the difference in this NFC East matchup will be the Giants “dogs” Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw. The pair of running backs will eat up the clock and make the Eagles defense play the run. Eli Manning and the Giants receiver Corp will then exploit the Eagles fun defense with the “play-action-pass”.

The result - Giants beat the Eagles by a touchdown in a low scoring affair – and Vick and the Eagles will lick their wounds and wish they had “dogs” like the Giants.

GAME INFO
Teams: Cleveland Browns Vs. Tennessee Titans
Date: Sunday, December 7, 2008
Time: 1:00 P.M. EST
Venue: LP Field, Nashville, Tenn
TV: CBS

SPREAD
Tennessee Titans ( -10 1/2 ) Under/Over (37 1/2)
The spread has actually shrunk from 14 points to 10 1/2

TEAM STATS
The Cleveland Browns are 4-8 this year. They are 3-2 on the road, 1-3 in the AFC North and 3-6 in their conference. They have score only 213 points while giving up 247.

The Tennessee Titans are 11-1. They are 5-1 at home, 4-0 in the AFC South and 7-1 in their conference. They are in first place in the AFC. The Tians have scored 304 points while giving up only 175.

PREVIEW
This is a contest that clearly looks to be lopsided and unless the Titans shoot themselves in the foot, it will be tough for the Browns to come up with a victory. The Browns did play well defensively in last week’s loss and could make it a game, if the Titans don’t play at a high level. But with so many critical injures — QB Brady Quinn, QB Derek Anderson and TE Kellen Winslow — Tennessee could dominate this contest. Look for Cleveland to play hard and the Browns’ coaching staff will be creative in developing its game plan, including a Wildcat-type philosophy.

KEY INJURIES
The Cleveland Browns are without their two starting quarterbacks Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson. TE phenon Kellen Wiislow is also out. It looks like the Titans could dominate this contest.

MORE INFO
The Tennessee Titans completed a late run to the playoffs last year with a victory in the final game of the NFL regular season. This season, the Titans don’t have to wait until the last minute to make plans for January. Tennessee can wrap up its first division title since 2002 on Sunday when it hosts Cleveland, the team it beat out for the AFC’s final wild card berth a year ago. The Browns and Titans were both 9-6 heading into Week 17 last season.

PREDICTION
Tennessee Titans in a blowout. 31-6
Cleveland is out of the playoff race and are going with an untested quarterback. The Titans can wrap up the Division title with a win on Sunday.

TEAM STANDINGS
The Dallas Cowboys are in jeopardy of falling out of the NFC East playoff race with half the season to go. They trail the New York Giants (6-1) and Washington Redskins (6-2). The Philadelphia Eagles are right behind them at 4-3.

The New York Giants, on the other hand, have reeled off two consecutive wins and are in first place in the NFC East.

MOMENTUM
The Dallas Cowboys started the season strong, winning their first 3 games. Since then, they are 2-3. The Cowboys are 2-2 on the road and 3-3 against NFC teams. They beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Home last week by a score of 13-9. The Cowboys are averaging a little over 25 points a game while giving up, on average, 24 points a game.

The New York Giants are 4-0 at home and 4-0 against NFC teams. They have won 2 straight going into Sunday’s game.  They have won two in a row, are 4-0 at home, and 1-2 on the road.  They are averaging 27 points a game while giving up only 16.  In the fourth quarter of last Sunday’s game they held the Pittsburgh Steelers to -18 yards total offense - just an outstanding feat, considering the Steelers offense is led by quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

KEY INJURIES
Cowboys: OG Kyle Kosier (foot sprain), RB Felix Jones (hamstring), CB Terence Newman (sports hernia) and QB Tony Romo (broken right pinkie) are out; TE Jason Witten (broken rib) said he wants to find a way to play if possible. Giants: OLB Gerris Wilkinson (knee) is out.

KEYS TO THE GAME
According to NFl.com, QB Brad Johnson will start, but if he struggles early the Cowboys won’t hesitate to turn to Brooks Bollinger, who took practice snaps with the first team this week. The 40-year-old Johnson lacks arm strength and mobility, making it difficult for him to get out of the way of the Giants’ ferocious pass rush or hurt New York vertically. Either quarterback will need a massive game from RB Marion Barber to alleviate the pressure. … If CB Anthony Henry isn’t ready to play, the Cowboys will start a pair of rookies in Mike Jenkins and Orlando Scandrick. Even when healthy, Dallas would have a difficult time matching up with all of the Giants’ options downfield, so the Cowboys desperately need an effective pass rush. Giants QB Eli Manning is still prone to critical errors when forced to unload the ball before he wants to.

SERIES HISTORY
This is the 92nd regular-season meeting between the two. The Cowboys lead the series 54-35-2. The Cowboys won the two regular-season games last year, but the Giants beat the Cowboys in the playoffs en route to winning the Super Bowl title. A Cowboys win would be their fourth straight regular-season win against the Giants.

PICK PREDICTION

Giants 27-13
Take the Giants even though they are giving nine points to the ‘Boys.

• The Giants defense is just too good
• Brad Johnson lack of mobility
• Giants are playing at home
• The weather will not hamper Eli Manning
