Playoff hopes and history will be on the line when the Panthers (13-0) meet the Giants (6-7) on Sunday.
For Carolina, the prospects of an undefeated regular season -- what would only be the third in NFL history -- is too tempting to pass up. The NFC South has already been secured and the No 1-overall seed is just one win away, but joining the likes of the 1972 Dolphins and 2007 Patriots is what's driving Cam Newton and company.
Why The Giants Will Upset The Panthers
It's a completely different story for the Giants.
New York -- despite being under .500 -- is still tied for the division lead in the NFC Least East. A victory is paramount to at least keep pace with Washington and the Eagles.
