Doubt it. This is THE biggest rivalry (historically) in the NFL. Why would anyone sell their tickets off when you could be a part of history. I think the Niner fans show up.
Dr who worries you in the playoff field here at this point?
Only Philadelphia. For two reasons. ONE, if Hurts plays spectacularly vs the Giants, and has indeed rebounded from his injury, then I'm scared of his dual threat ability (not to be outdone by Dak's triple threat ability apparently). We struggle against mobile QBs that can (1) find time in the pocket, and (2) take off when their reads aren't open. We lost to Fields, Wilson, Mariotta, Mahomes, all of whom have the ability to escape pockets and buy time (yes I know various other factors played into it like rain and dopes running out of their own endzones). TWO, traveling cross country, playing in a very hostile environment, in likely bad weather. Not the most opportune place for a rookie QB start in the most important game of his life.
I think those two factors make it a huge disadvantage for us, and I'm praying hard for the Giants to surprise the Eagles this Saturday.
