Well I have been a Giants fan since birth and my opinion is (which could be skewed in many ways) is that even if we needed this game we would probably lose it (not by 7).
So here we are not needing it, and we have to rest a few players that are hurting and in need of rest, but my opinion, yes, it is lip service, we may play our starters to the half or early third. Basically we should play this like a third pre-season game.
I do believe Skins cover 7. But 10+ seems more realistic.

Exactly what I was thinking. Even if the Giants were playing for seeding, they'd still likely lose this game. I am banking on a 10 point win as well. Skins get a stop late, keep it at 10 and run it out as the Giants play with the second team. Very reasonable to suggest. If it's better than than, even more welcome.

FWIW I read this game the same way. GMEN with nothing to play for except maybe momentum, SKINS with everything on the line and at home against a team that hasn't put up 30 points all season and will likely rest some starters following the first half. Certainly wasn't trying to troll you, just an observation.
BOL in 2017 man, keep killing it.

Doubt the Raiders rest there starters today with the Division on the line and KC playing against San Deigo team that has ton of injuries. This game means more to Raiders than any game this week for any team

I said on page 1 there was nothing indicating we'd see the backups. I thought Mcadoo would go for the win and I still do. Gonna be a dog fight for Redskins backers.
