Eagles QB Donovan McNabb threw for 300 yards last Sunday against Minnesota to take the win in the first-round; and the Giants QB Eli Manning is coming off a bye week (that could be huge). Both teams are strong defensively and both coaches are super eager to advance to the Conference Championship. Still, the Bodog Sportsbook favors the Giants in this one by -4 and the game's total is at 39.5.

A few betting trends to consider:
Philadelphia is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games;
Philadelphia is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games;
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Philadelphia's last 6 games on the road;
The total has gone UNDER in 10 of Philadelphia's last 12 games when playing on the road against NY Giants;
NY Giants are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games at home;
NY Giants are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games at home;
The total has gone UNDER in 10 of the NY Giants last 12 games when playing at home against Philadelphia;
NY Giants are 9-2 ATS in their last 11 games.

San Diego Chargers at Pittsburgh Steelers: 4:45 p.m. EST on CBS

The Pittsburgh Steelers led the N.F.L. in total defense, pass defense and scoring defense, and was second against the run, allowing only 80.2 yards a game. (The Steelers have also allowed only 13.9 points on average per game…that's the lowest in the league, too.) With LaDainian Tomlinson out with a torn groin tendon (more than likely, anyway) and a comparatively weaker defense, QB Philip Rivers better hope that RB Darren Sproles brings his "A" game along with his Velcro-like grip to this matchup if the Bolts want to advance.

A few betting trends to consider:
San Diego is 5-0 SU in its last 5 games;
San Diego is 4-1 ATS in its last 5 games;
The total has gone OVER in 16 of San Diego's last 24 games on the road;
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of San Diego's last 6 games when playing Pittsburgh;
Pittsburgh is 10-1 SU in its last 11 games when playing at home against San Diego;
Pittsburgh is 6-1 SU in its last 7 games;
Pittsburgh is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games.
