RATING THE GAMES

**** Makings of a classic

*** Smash-mouth football

** Good for an end around

* Strictly fantasy fodder

**** Philadelphia (12-3) at New York Giants (9-6), 10:30 a.m., Channel 11, KNX (1070): Since scoring three points in an Oct. 28 loss at Philadelphia, Giants have averaged 27.6 points. “All of a sudden, they’re on a little bit of a roll,” Eagle defensive coordinator Jim Johnson said. Ya think? LINE: Philadelphia by 2.

*** Kansas City (8-7) at Oakland (10-5), 2 p.m., Channel 2, KNX (1070), KMPC (1540): Chiefs seem to not have a prayer without their Priest (Holmes). And despite clinching a playoff spot, Raiders have plenty to play for, namely to eliminate the chance of getting robbed (snow) blind somewhere in the Northeast. LINE: Oakland by 7 1/2.
