The New York Giants (1-5) will face the Philadelphia Eagles (1-4-1) at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday Night Football.

The Giants opened the week as six-point underdogs in this game but due to several key injuries to Eagles offensive players such as running back Miles Sanders and tight end Zack Ertz, the line has dropped a full point and a half to +4.5, per BetMGM.

The over/under has remained steady at 44.5 points.

Philadelphia listed a total of six players as out due to injury in this game: Sanders (knee), Ertz (ankle), tackle Jack Driscoll (ankle), defensive tackle Malik Jackson (quad), safety K’Von Wallace (shoulder) and wide receiver Alshon Jeffrey (foot).

In addition, cornerback Avonte Maddox (ankle) and linebacker Duke Riley (rib) were listed as limited for their walkthrough practice on Wednesday.

The Giants will be without wide receiver C.J. Board (concussion) and safety Adrian Colbert (shoulder). Rookie linebacker Tae Crowder (hamstring) was placed on IR this week. Wide receiver Darius Slayton (foot) was limited this week and defensive back Darnay Holmes (neck) is listed as questionable.
