Also, Giants are already screwed, even if they aren't mathematically eliminated. The best record the Giants can do is 8-8. Dallas at worse can go 8-8 and Dallas holds the tiebreaker over the Giants for the division by winning both games. And seeing as Dallas and Philadelphia still play each other twice, one of those teams is guaranteed at least 9 wins anyway, so the Giants are already eliminated from the NFC East race, the best they can do is a wild card.
In that case, Arizona is already guaranteed to get in over the Giants by way of already having 9 wins. Seattle and San Francisco both still play each other twice, so one team is guaranteed at least 8 wins regardless, and both San Francisco and Seattle beat the New York Giants, so the Giants automatically lose out on head to head tiebreakers. Detroit ALSO beat the Giants head to head and is guaranteed to get at least one more win, so they'll reach 8 wins and have the tiebreaker over the Giants.
So while the Giants are "still alive" due to there not being multiple 8 win teams yet, it is already impossible for them to get a playoff spot. They'll be officially eliminated after this week's games when more teams reach 8 or 9 wins. Try disproving THOSE FACTS!
Sorry sockboy, WRONG AGAIN!
