The New York Giants (10-7-1) will battle the Philadelphia Eagles (14-3) Saturday in the 1st of 2 NFC Divisional Games this weekend. Kickoff from Lincoln Financial Field is set for 8:15 p.m. ET (FOX).  Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Eagles, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

New York is 3-2 straight up (SU) and 5-1 against the spread (ATS) in its last 6 games. The Giants advanced to the Divisional Round with a 31-24 Wild Card upset at the Minnesota Vikings as 2.5-point underdogs. The Giants have been moneymakers. They own the best ATS mark in the league at 14-4. New York’s strength lies in RB Saquon Barkley and its run game, ranking 4th in the NFL with 148.2 rushing yards per game.

Philadelphia desperately needed the 1st-round bye it earned as the No. 1 seed in the NFC. Philly dropped 2 of its final 3 regular-season games partly due to a lingering injury to QB Jalen Hurts. The Eagles went 0-4 ATS in their final 4 games and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 to fall to 8-9 ATS on the season. Both the offense and defense performed well this season. The offense averaged 389.1 total yards, good for 3rd in the NFL, and the defense held opponents to 301.5 yards per game, good for 2nd.

Philadelphia swept the regular-season series. The Eagles won 48-22 as 7.5-point road favorites in Week 14 and 22-16 as 17-point home favorites in Week 17. However, the Giants rested players in the season finale as they were locked into a road playoff game.

Giants at Eagles picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 24, Giants 21

Moneyline

PASS.

The Eagles (-360) should win a close one, but laying 3.6 times the potential profit is not smart gambling.

There is some value in the Giants (+300) as it will pay 3 to 1 with an outright win. I wouldn’t blame anyone for betting the G-Men in this rivalry game, but I’ll play it safe and back the spread below.

Against the spread

BET GIANTS +7.5 (-109).

As mentioned, the Giants have covered the spread in their last 5 games and the Eagles are 0-4 ATS in their last 4.

In the Giants’ previous 10 games, they were 7-point or more underdogs 3 times — twice to the Eagles. New York went 2-1 ATS in those 3 contests, including 1-1 ATS against Philly.

In the last 10 games in this historic matchup, the road team is 7-3 ATS and the Giants are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 meetings in Philadelphia.

Furthermore, New York is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 against NFC teams while the Eagles are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 against NFC opponents.

Giants +7.5 is too favorable not to take NEW YORK +7.5 (-109).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 48 (-111).

Both the Giants and Eagles have top run games with New York ranking 4th in the league in rushing yards per game and Philadelphia 5th.

In their Week 17 matchup, Under 43.5 hit as they finished with 38 combined points. In Week 14, Over 44.5 easily cashed as they combined for 70 points.

Barring another blowout on either side, expect this game to be a classic NFC East dogfight.

The Under is 4-0 in the Eagles’ last 4 playoff games and 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Philadelphia between these rivals.

The New York Giants (9-6-1) will go up against the Philadelphia Eagles (13-3) on Sunday in Week 18 at Lincoln Financial Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 4:25 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Giants vs. Eagles odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Giants cruised to a 38-10 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 17 to cover as 5.5-point favorites at home. New York could rest its starters on Sunday as the Giants can’t improve nor worsen their playoff spot in Week 18.

The Eagles lost 20-10 to the New Orleans Saints in Week 17 as they failed to cover as 5.5-point favorites at home. Philadelphia needs a win or a Dallas Cowboys loss/tie (at Washington) and a San Francisco 49ers loss/tie (Arizona) to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC. A Philly win or a Dallas loss/tie would also clinch the NFC East.

Giants at Eagles picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 31, Giants 13

Moneyline

AVOID with the Eagles being massive favorites at home. I wouldn’t advise anyone to take Philadelphia straight up (-1100) at the current odds despite the likeliness of the Eagles securing the win.

Against the spread

PHILADELPHIA -14 (-110) is where I’m leaning as this is a must-win game for the Eagles. Even if the Giants trot out their starters, I don’t expect them to play long enough to make this a competitive game whether Philly’s Hurts suits up or not.

Over/Under

Even with the unknown surrounding New York’s starters, OVER 43 (-110) is an intriguing wager. The last time these 2 teams met, the Eagles won 48-22 a 7.5-point road favorites in Week 14.

The Giants have gone 4-0-1 to the Over in their last 5 games following an ATS win. Meanwhile, the Eagles are 4-0 to the Over in their last 4 games against an NFC East opponent and 5-0 to the Over in their last 5 games against a team with a winning record.

NFL Prop Bets Payday: 5 Thursday Night Football prop bet predictions

Highlighting five Thursday Night Football prop bet predictions as the New York Giants take on the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 1-4-1 Philadelphia Eagles play the second of three straight home games Thursday night, hosting the NFC East rival New York Giants (1-5) at Lincoln Financial Field. Kickoff will be at 8:20 p.m. ET on Thursday Night Football. Below, we look at five Thursday Night Football prop bets to make.

Field goal to be first scoring play (+105)

Philly is all kinds of banged up, with cluster injuries striking the offensive line and pass-catchers in particular, and the latest to feel the wrath are two of the team’s top offensive players in RB Miles Sanders and TE Zach Ertz. Both are sidelined Thursday night (or longer) and that’s a big blow to Philly’s offensive continuity and the ability to sustain touchdown drives.

The Giants are much healthier — despite the season-ending knee injury suffered by stud RB Saquon Barkley in Week 2 — but the team’s ugly offensive numbers have made Giants fans ill as New York easily has the league’s worst TD-to-field-goal ratio at 7:16.

The plus-value tag on this first-score field goal prop looks attractive in a game where there figures to be plenty to go around.

Eagles to win race to 20 points (-129)

QB Carson Wentz and the Eagles are averaging 23.5 points per outing and have scored at least 23 in each of their last four contests.

The Giants, meanwhile, rank 31st in the league in scoring (16.8 points per game) and have reached 20 only twice in six contests.

Despite the injury issues, take the Eagles and pay the -129 price.

Wentz and Giants QB Daniel Jones both to finish with 15+ rushing yards (-136)

It’s a quarterback “leg” parlay here, and it’s priced at -136 for good reason.

Wentz trails only Sanders on the team with 172 yards on 28 attempts and 162 of those yards have come in the last four games.

Jones, meanwhile, is New York’s leading rusher on the year with 204 yards on 27 attempts and has rushed for at least 21 yards in five of six contests this season.

WR DeSean Jackson OVER 36.5 receiving yards (-115)

The decimated Eagles are getting one key weapon back this week. The speedy Jackson has suited up in only six games for Philly since signing with the team prior to the 2019 season.

Jackson gives the team a much-needed downfield threat, and in the three games he has played at least 50% of the Eagles’ offensive snaps, he has totaled 264 receiving yards and two TDs on 16 catches, reaching at least 46 yards in each game.

With his impressive career average of 17.3 yards per reception, he might only need one catch to reach 35 yards and that seems like a reasonable gamble to take considering how many other offensive weapons the Eagles are missing.

Eagles RB Boston Scott over 21.5 receiving yards (-115)

Scott steps in for the ailing Sanders, and he provides Wentz with a sneaky good underneath receiving option.

Scott filled in for Sanders late last season as well, and in the last seven games he has played at least 18% of Philly’s offensive snaps, he has posted receiving yardage totals of 69, 39, 7, 84, 19, 24 and 5 on 30 combined catches. By the way, the two highest yardage totals (69 and 84) in that group came late last season in games against the Giants.

Bypass his rushing yards prop and go with the underpublicized Over on Scott as a receiver.
