Trent Cole turned 32 on Sunday, but that hasn't stopped him from making plays. Cole has three forced fumbles with 2.5 sacks this season, and the Eagles' defense has been getting more pressure each week. Cole will lead the defense again this week. Look for the Birds to sack Manning at least five times.

Giants fans know all too well what one fourth quarter punt return can do when you play the Eagles. Brian Westbrook did it with 1:15 left in 2003 to give the Eagles a 14-10 win. DeSean Jackson did it in 2010 when he capped off 28 points in the final 7:18 to beat the Giants 38-31. This week the special teams will score for the fourth straight week to give the Eagles the win
