GAME OF THE DAY
PANTHERS AT GIANTS, 1 p.m.
TV: Fox, Ch. 13
GAME PLAN: While the unbeaten Panthers try to nail down that No. 1 playoff seed in the NFC, the Giants likely will have to win their division to qualify for the postseason. Carolina QB Cam Newton can take another step toward securing league MVP honors, but let’s not forget that Eli Manning of the Giants has thrown the ball extremely well in 2015.
KAUFMAN’S CALL: Giants, 21-17
