The Giants are in the playoffs, and they are guaranteed the NFC's No. 5 seed.
But they may come to regret the latter by next Sunday.
The NFC playoff picture was completely shaken up Saturday when the Cardinals, who entered the year as a Super Bowl favorite but have since stumbled to a losing season, stunned the Seahawks, 34-31, in Seattle.
The Seahawks entered the day in control of the race for the NFC's No. 2 seed behind the Cowboys. But now? Both the NFC South champion Falcons (10-5) and NFC North-leading Lions (9-5) are ahead of the Seahawks (9-5-1).
