Giants-Colts Week 17 Preview

The Giants host the Indianapolis Colts in their regular-season home finale on Sunday, Jan. 1. Kickoff in MetLife Stadium is set for 1 p.m. on CBS.

The Giants look for their fifth win at home this season, the most in MetLife since they were 7-1 in 2016. They will also look for their seventh regular season win against Indianapolis and fourth at home.

With two games remaining, the Giants are in full control of their playoff destiny. A win in either of their final two contests would clinch the No. 6 seed in the NFC. If they go 0-2, they will need some help in order to secure the franchise's first playoff berth since 2016. The Giants face the Colts at home this weekend before traveling to Philadelphia for the season finale against the Eagles. Here are all of the ways the Giants can clinch this week:

  1. NYG win OR
