Key Stats
New York Giants
The New York Giants broke their 12-game losing streak last week with a 45-33 win against the Indianapolis Colts. Drew Lock had one of the best games of his career. Lock completed 12 of 23 passes for 309 yards and 4 touchdowns, he also scored a rushing touchdown. Malik Nabers had the best game of his young career with 7 catches for 171 yards and 2 touchdowns. Wan’Dale Robinson also had a great game with 5 catches for 71 yards and a touchdown. Last week’s win probably cost the Giants the number one pick in the Draft, but we will see how their season ends.
The Giants’ defense has been below average this season. They are ranked 23rd in points allowed per game, 10th in passing yards allowed per game, 31st in rushing yards allowed per game, 24th in offensive touchdowns allowed, 9th in sacks, and 24th in takeaways per game. In terms of injuries, Malik Nabers, Evan Neal, Brian Burns, Micah McFadden, and many other defensive linemen are listed as questionable. This is a bad team that is ready for the season to be over and has many questions to answer this offseason, such as will Brian Daboll return as their head coach next season?
Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a dominating win against the Dallas Cowboys, 41-7. They won despite not having their starting quarterback Jalen Hurts. Kenny Pickett and Tanner McKee both had solid games in place of Hurts. They completed 13 of 19 throws for 197 yards, and 3 touchdowns. Saquon Barkley feasted in the game with 31 carries for 167 rushing yards.
DeVonta Smith was the dominant force in this game with 6 catches for 120 yards and 2 touchdowns. This is a dangerous team in terms of contending for the NFC and a Super Bowl. Philly is one of the best teams in the NFL and has shown it all year long.
Philly’s defense has been excellent all year long. They are ranked 3rd in points allowed per game, 1st in passing yards allowed per game, 10th in rushing yards allowed per game, 2nd in offensive touchdowns allowed, 11th in sacks, and 6th in takeaways per game. In terms of players that are questionable or might rest, there are a plethora of them.
Saquon Barkley has been ruled out. It sucks considering he is 104 rushing yards away from breaking the single-season rushing record. Hurts, Pickett, AJ Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Dallas Goedert are all questionable. I could see starters getting a few series and then get pulled.
Prediction
The Philadelphia Eagles are going to defeat the New York Giants and cover the spread in this game. Despite all the players listed as questionable in this game, Philly’s backups are well-equipped to win this game. The Eagles are locked into their playoff seeding. With this game being at home, I expect the Philly crowd to be rowdy and loud all game. To put it in simple terms, I don’t know how many players on the Giant’s roster would start for the Eagles. Another thing to consider, this Philly defense is deep with their backups, especially on defense. The Philadelphia Eagles soar to a win over the lowly New York Giants.
