The playoff hunt continues on New Year's Day with a visit from the Indianapolis Colts (4-10-1) in the Giants' regular-season finale at MetLife Stadium. The Giants then wrap up Week 18 on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have the best record in the NFL at 13-2.

  1. NYG win OR
  2. NYG tie + SEA loss or tie + WAS loss or tie OR
