New York Giants vs Philadelphia Eagles Prediction
The Philadelphia Eagles are locked into the second seed, so don't be surprised if they sit everybody. It's already been said Barkley isn't going to play for the record, and Hurts is sure to sit with his concussion and finger issue. It's hard to lay points with the Eagles in this situation. The Giants are coming off a nice upset win over the Colts and you know they'd love to stick to their rival Eagles, even if it means nothing in the grand scheme of things. The value is with the Giants and the points based on the health situation. Give me the free points with the road team.
