Will the Eagles get their revenge?
Revenge – or something like that could be the title of our Eagles vs. Giants tip. Just two weeks ago, the Philadelphia Eagles were caught completely off guard by the Giants in New York. The result: a heavy defeat in the division duel!
Now, however, it’s time to get down to business at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, and it’s unlikely that the Eagles will underestimate New York a second time. In addition, Philly has recently shown a significant offensive recovery against Minnesota from their rather mediocre performances before.
The Giants, on the other hand, are coming into this matchup off an unnecessary last-second loss to the Broncos and are likely to be a little shaken mentally. We wouldn’t be surprised if the Eagles defense takes advantage of that and forces Giants QB Jaxson Dart into a turnover or two.
Therefore, our prediction for the Eagles vs. Giants matchup is a comfortable Eagles victory, which would cement their lead in the NFC East. As good as the Giants’ defense looks at times, a team that concedes 33 points to the Broncos in a single quarter is not going to have a clear head the following week.
Kickoff for this NFC East duel is on Sunday at 6:00 p.m. in Philadelphia. The NFL Game Day 8 match will be available to watch live on the DAZN streaming service.
Philadelphia Eagles – New York Giants Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
Yes, the Giants won the last matchup two weeks ago. Before that, however, the Eagles were considered one of New York’s bogey teams. Of the last 20 head-to-head matchups, only five went to the Giants – the others were won by Philadelphia, some by quite a clear margin.
Despite their slight slump, the Eagles are once again ahead of the Giants in almost every possible statistic this season. The most striking one is that they have a +8 better turnover ratio than New York so far. The Eagles have only lost the ball three times, while the Giants have lost it nine times.
That, combined with home field advantage, makes the odds on Philly seem like a clear bet for us in Eagles vs. Giants. This applies to handicap bets up to Eagles -7 as well as other options such as 1/1 or a combination bet on Eagles + over 38 total points.
These 38 points should be easily achievable overall. In the first leg, there were already 51 points, and Eagles games this season have averaged 47.8 total points.
Philadelphia Eagles – New York Giants Tip
The Giants have been less than optimal against the run this season, allowing an average of 130.9 rushing yards. The Eagles should take advantage of this with Saquon Barkley. If they can increase their efficiency on third downs even slightly compared to the first leg (1 out of 9 at the time), then nothing should stand in the way of an Eagles victory.
Two weeks ago, the Eagles didn’t really get into any Tush Push situations. Now, playing at home, we expect them to do so, which should drive up the first downs and points in the end. So, for Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Giants, our recommendation is to bet on the Eagles + over 38 total points.
For a player bet, let’s take a closer look at the Eagles’ last three games. Hurts’ main target in these games was DeVonta Smith – by far. Eight catches for 114 yards, 4 for 49 and 9 for 183 were his last three stats. With so many targets, touchdowns are bound to happen, as was evident most recently against the Vikings.
Therefore, our player bet recommendation is a TD tip on DeVonta Smith. The Philadelphia Eagles vs. New York Giants betting odds are even higher than on Saquon Barkley or A.J. Brown, which makes it even more playable for us.
