The New York Giants and New England Patriots are expected to rest most of their starters when they face off later this evening. Kickoff is set for 8 PM EST at Gillette Stadium.

Tom Brady and Corey Dillon will see very limited action for the New England Patriots tonight. Hometown hero Doug Flutie will get a chance to shine at quarterback and Kevin Faulk will get a chance to tune up and see extended action at running back. Tackle Matt Light (foot) and linebacker Mike Vrabel could see action in this game after sitting out last week's contest with injuries.

Eli Manning will once again be held out so Tim Hasselbeck will get the majority of snaps at quarterback for the New York Giants. Veteran Tike Barber will probably see very little action, so Mike Cloud, Derrick Ward, and Brandon Jacobs will get plenty of snaps. Left tackle Luke Petitgout and cornerback Will Peterson may be held out due to minor injuries.
