The Philadelphia Eagles should win this game comfortably, and they’re playing for a potential division crown, but they should’ve beaten the Seahawks and Cardinals recently and didn’t. The Eagles look like a shell of themselves, and let’s not forget that Christmas game against the Giants was competitive. The New York Giants aren’t winning games, but they’re playing hard still, and it’s led to covers in 5 of their last 6 games. This is going to be mid 30s and rainy. The Giants will have their chances to hang in this game. Give me the points.
