NY vs. Philly. Let's play two!
When the Giants and Eagles clash with the NFC East lead at stake, they'll only be the opening act in a Broadway-Broad Street twinbill. Kickoff is set for about 7 ½ hours before the Phillies throw the first pitch against the Yankees in the World Series.
The loaded lineup should only increase the tension between the tailgating die-hards from each city.
Once the game is over, fans will swap their Eagles green hats for Phillies red; Giants blue jerseys for Yankees pinstripes.
Members of the Giants and Eagles have kept on eye on their city's respective league champions during the postseason.
Eli Manning is rooting for the Yankees, but offered no prediction. Donovan McNabb called his shot: Phillies repeat.
Neither city wants a split. But more than bragging rights are on the line for the throaty, and heavily accented, fans at both ends of the New Jersey Turnpike.
