The Giants aren't going to beat the Redskins on the road, and the Packers win and get in in pretty much every scenario that involves the Giants losing, which means they have a pretty good chance of controlling their own destiny. It's not a bad choice for a national game.

The more interesting angle IMO is whether the national audience and late timing of the game will enocurage Lovie Smith to leave his starters in any longer. Personally, I think it might, and I'd be kind of peeved if I were a Pack fan.
