NFL Weekend Preview: Who Needs A Win Stuck

Every week Matt and Brendan pick a team who needs a win the most. With the playoffs creeping ever so closer it is even more crucial for these team to rack up wins.

Matt � New York Giants

With the Redskins at 5-6 and the Giants at 6-4, the race for the NFC East crown isn�t over yet. The Giants have lost two in a row and it appears their November struggles have snuck up on them again.

In November, Eli Manning has passed for only 340 yards with three interceptions and no touchdowns. Their run game has also disappeared with their defense giving up 55 points in the month as well.

Now coming off a bye week, they face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night. Can they escape the month with a win or will Giants fans have to pray for another December run?

Brendan - Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tampa Bay is fighting for a Wild Card berth in the ultra-competitive NFC. The Bucs are currently on the outside looking in and have a tough matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on tap Sunday.

QB Josh Freeman has this team rolling as they've won five of their last six games. Wide Receiver Vincent Jackson has been a constant all season long, but the recent reemergence of Mike Williams has added another dimension to this Bucs offense.

Will they have enough offensive fire power to keep up with the high-flying Falcons? Or will they choose to ground-and-pound and play keep with Doug Martin? Either way, the Bucs are in for a fight and need a win to keep up with Seattle.
