Giants open as 4.5-point home underdogs vs. Eagles

The New York Giants have opened as 4.5-point home underdogs against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 17.

The New York Giants (4-11) will attempt to extend their winning streak to three games this week when they face the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles (8-7) at MetLife Stadium.

Philadelphia has opened as a 4.5-point favorite with the over/under set at 45.5, according to our friends at BetMGM.

The game was originally scheduled to kickoff at 1:00 p.m. but the league flexed the game to 4:25 p.m. as they did with all of their games that have postseason implications.

The Eagles are on a winning streak of their own, defeating all three division rivals the last three weeks. They first knocked off the Giants, 23-17, in overtime on Monday Night Football. They followed that win up with a 37-27 decision over Washington and then dominated Dallas, 17-9, on Sunday.

The Eagles simply need to beat the Giants or have the Cowboys lose to Washington next Sunday to clinch the NFC East.

The Giants have lost 10 of their last 11 meetings against the Eagles, but took them to overtime three weeks ago and are planning to make things difficult for them again this time.
