I don’t love laying chalk like this in the NFL, but this game has the potential to get ugly. Jalen Hurts is expected to return for the Eagles, and they need this game to clinch the top seed in the NFC. The New York Giants are locked into the sixth seed with no chance of gaining ground, so I’d expect them to rest their starters. Giants backups against a healthier and motivated Eagles squad. Yeah, this could get ugly, folks. Give me the Eagles in a beat down.
