Key Stats
Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a win against the Cleveland Browns last week 20-16. In that game, we saw Jalen Hurts complete 16 of 25 passes for 264 yards and two touchdowns. AJ Brown had an excellent game in his first game back from injury, catching six passes for 116 yards and a touchdown. Saquon Barkley was held in check with only 47 yards on 18 carries, which is 2.7 yards per carry. If the Eagles are going to continue their winning ways, Barkley needs to return to the dominant player he was through the first three weeks.
The Eagles’ defense has been average through the first five games of the season. They rank 14th in points allowed per game, 21st in passing yards allowed per game, 16th in rushing yards allowed, 9th in offensive touchdowns allowed, 23rd in sacks, and 31st in takeaways per game. Philly’s defensive line should have a good game this week as the Giants’ offensive tackle Andrew Thomas is dealing with a foot injury that is likely to require season-ending surgery. That’s a big loss against a team 20th in the NFL in sacks allowed per game, 2.33 sacks allowed per game.
New York Giants
The New York Giants are coming off a loss against the Cincinnati Bengals 17-7 last Sunday night. Against the Bengals, Daniel Jones completes 22 of 41 passes for 205 yards and one interception. In this game, we saw Tyrone Tracy Jr. have an excellent game with 107 yards from scrimmage, 50 rushing yards on 17 carries, a rushing touchdown, and six catches for 57 yards. The Giants are hopeful that rookie sensation Malik Nabers will be available this week. Nabers leads the team in receiving yards and touchdowns. If the Giants have any hope of winning this game against the Philadelphia Eagles, they need Nabers at 100%.
Defensively, they have been above average. For the season, they rank 9th in points allowed per game, 12 in passing yards allowed per game, 15th in rushing yards allowed per game, 11th in offensive touchdowns, 1st in sacks, and 17th in takeaways per game. Brian Burns has stepped up without his pass-rushing partner Kayvon Thibodeaux, Against the Bengals, Burns racked up one sack, four tackles, two tackles for loss, and one QB hit. This back end is going to have their hands full with the Philadelphia Eagles who have one of the best wide receiving dups in the NFL, with AJ Brown and DeVonta Smith.
Prediction
The Philadelphia Eagles are going to defeat the New York Giants and cover the spread. The Andrew Thomas injury is significant to the Giants’ success. We know the strength of the Eagles’ defense is their defensive line. Down your best lineman against Philly’s Dline, it’s not a recipe for success. Saquon Barkley should return to form in this game with 100+ yards from scrimmage to control the clock and keep the Giants’ offense on the sideline. If the Eagles are forced to pass, pick your poison on which receiver you want to “take away” the other weapons for the Eagles have a chance to dominate the game.
Final Pick
Philadelphia Eagles -3 (-110)
