The Ravens are already in. The Giants hope to join them. Baltimore, which has clinched a playoff berth, can win the AFC North with a victory. The defending Super Bowl champions will assure themselves at least a postseason spot with wins in their final two games.

"If we win two games, we're going to be in the playoffs," says Giants head coach TOM COUGHLIN. "That's what we have to focus on. Our team knows the circumstances very well. It is a playoff situation for us. We now have to win to have the opportunity to go to the playoffs. We've responded to that in the past. We're going to have to respond to that again."

Baltimore has lost three in a row after a 9-2 start, but the Ravens clinched a playoff spot last week.

"We've got work to do," says Baltimore head coach JOHN HARBAUGH. "We're going to fight like crazy to become the team we're capable of becoming. We're not that team yet. It's a long season, but all of our goals are in front of us."
