Giants vs. Eagles

This game is a huge NFC East showdown.  The Giants come in hot riding a three-game winning streak and the Eagles are 4-1 but appear to be struggling.  The Giants offense which was limping along the first few weeks of the season is now averaging 35 points a game in their last three.

The Eagles offense while still potent isn’t functioning quite where it was last season and neither is quarterback Nick Foles.  However, I expect the Eagles to rise to the occasion and be up for the challenge of an NFC East rival invading their home field but I also expect the Giants to win.

They are playing better than the Eagles at the moment on both sides of the ball and will get a close win on the road.       NFL Picks
