Why New York Giants Will Win the NFC Divisional Round

This just might work.

Don’t turn the ball over. Rely on the run defense. Assume your running back might just be the best player on the field. Get your defense off the field with a slew of third down stops. Take the attitude that nobody believes in you because very few do.

All the pressure is on the other side of the field, and this is where not being the 1 seed might be a big plus. The Giants know they can win a playoff game.

Last year’s Eagle team was rudely pushed out by Tampa Bay in the Wild Card round, and the 2020 version only won four games. This might be a young team with a whole lot of talent, but there’s a sense of urgency, too, with a slew of key parts about to be very expensive, free agents, or both.

That, and the Eagles were hardly themselves over the finishing kick. Jalen Hurts was banged up, the team lost two of its last three games, and the win over the Giants in Week 18 wasn’t exactly a thing of beauty.

Considering it didn’t play all that well in the win over the miserable Bears, it’s going to be well over a month since Philly was operating at peak efficiency.

Granted, the last great performance was a blowout over the Giants, but this might just be a different and more confident team coming back from Minneapolis.

Win the turnover battle – New York is 7-2 when it doesn’t give it away. Run well – it’s 5-0 when it tears off over 170 rushing yards. Stay in this late, control the clock, and …

Why Philadelphia Eagles Will Win

The Giants still aren’t throwing all that well. There was enough offense to get by in the win over Washington, but Daniel Jones is still too inconsistent for a passing game that only hit 200 yards once in the last four games.

Winning the turnover battle is the key. The Giants are getting better at taking the ball away, but Philadelphia has forced five takeaways in the last two games including three in the meeting a few weeks ago. When the Eagles force two or more takeaways, they’re 3-0. When they don’t they’re 0-4-1.

Why New York Giants Will Win

The Eagles’ main issue is against the more physical running teams, allowing 130 yards or more in the last four games. The Giants might not be great at pounding away, but they’ve found a bit of a groove over the last month with four straight 100-yard days including 165 against Philly.

Turnovers mean everything to them, too. They forced five in the win over Washington and 12 over the last six games. The Eagles can’t stop giving the ball away – they can’t get away with the four turnovers they gave to Dallas two weeks ago.

Fantasy Football Player To Watch

TE Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia
Goedert opened the first two games of the season with a combined 17 targets for 12 catches, 131 yards and a TD. Zach Ertz remains out – not that he was doing anything anyway – and the Eagles remain a TE offense. Goedert has had the bye week to get back to 100% – expect him to be targeted 7+ times.

What’s Going To Happen

Getting the week off will help an Eagle team that’s a win away from taking almost full control of the miserable NFC East. The Giants were able to go turnover-free against Washington, but that’s not happening this week. Philly will look and play like the rested team, especially with a renewed effort agains the run.
