The New York Giants host the Philadelphia Eagles tonight, in a continuance of prime time divisional contests.  The NFC East has the spotlight, with the so-called "Dream Team" looking to climb to just 2 games under .500 - with Vince Young and not Michael Vick under center - while the Giants are trying to claim first place in the division by themselves - a game ahead of the Dallas Cowboys.
