Giants vs Eagles Prediction
I’m not excited to lay a touchdown on the road with a short week, but the Giants just lost to the Saints. The Giants have also scored 14 or fewer points in 3 of their first 5 games. The Eagles have issues of their own, which includes a frustrating underachieving offense, but the talent is there, and they usually beat up on lesser teams.
The favorite has covered 5 of the last 8 games between the Eagles and Giants. The Giants are relying on a lot of young players still trying to find their footing. There’s no excuse for the Eagles in a spot like this. Give me the Eagles by a touchdown.
