The Giants obviously have been a major disappointment this year, having gone from a team that won a Super Bowl less than two years ago to a team that has not won a football game in the middle of October. Yet, in a weak NFC East, they are only two games out of first place, giving their season some life. The Bears have been very hot and cold this season, just like they were last season, winning their first three followed by two straight losses. They still hold a tie for first with the 3-2 Detroit Lions with the 2-2 Packers only a half-game back.

The Giants are coming off a home loss to their NFC East rival Philadelphia Eagles, yet another disappointing loss in a disappointing season. The Bears lost at home to the team with the best record in the NFC, the New Orleans Saints.
