Giants not picky about who they will face

At least now the New York Giants don't have to root for the Dallas Cowboys.

After Tampa Bay lost to New Orleans on Saturday, the Giants advanced to the playoffs. Had the Buccaneers won, the Giants would have needed their archrival from Dallas to beat Detroit on Monday night to secure a postseason berth.

Instead, New York (10-5) is in the playoffs for the first time since 2011, when it won the Super Bowl. The Giants must wait until after the regular season finales to find out where they will head on Jan 7 or 8 for a wild-card game.
