Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Giants Prediction
I’m going to stay with the Eagles. Philly’s defense was the star of the show over the weekend versus the Browns, despite having to stay on the field for 31:27 of game time and failing to register a takeaway. The Eagles held Cleveland to 244 total yards (144 passing), 14 first downs, and just 3-of-12 on third-down tries. Philadelphia’s offense hasn’t gotten past 21 points in any of the last four games, though.
As for New York, they posted just 5-of-15 on third-down tries in their latest loss to Cincinnati and couldn’t get much going on offense. Defensively the team was solid though, holding the Bengals to 13 first downs and 4-of-11 on third downs. All things considered though, I trust Philly’s offense more than I do New York’s right now.
