Eagles vs Giants Prediction

The current betting odds have the Giants listed as a 3.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Giants haven't looked good in their games this season with their 2-4 record overall, but they haven't looked terrible either. They have had some tougher teams on their schedule and they have been keeping a lot of their games close too. They just held the Bengals offense to 17 points in their last game and they are going to bring their best effort here at home for a divisional rival. Meanwhile, the Eagles have looked good in their games this season with their 3-2 record overall, but they haven't been blowing teams out in their games. All of their wins this season have been by 1 score and they are coming off a win against the Browns by 4 points, the Browns being one of the worst teams in the NFL in these first few games. The Giants have looked great on defense all season so they aren't going to let the Eagles run away with this game, and the Eagles have been a more run heavy team so they aren't going to just pull away and never look back. The Giants have looked better on offense too and they will be able to put up points on this Eagles defense which hasn't looked great this year. The Giants have been a scrappy team all season and they are going to fight hard for this win at home and the Eagles haven't been playing like a team that is going to blow them out either so if the Eagles get the win here, it won't be by much. The best way to place a bet here is on the Giants to cover the spread in this game.
