Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants preview
The Philadelphia Eagles (8-4) are on the road against one of their rivals, the New York Giants (7-5). The Giants got a big win last week against the Cowboys, but their quarterback Eli Manning has not been playing very well and is battling a foot injury. This is good news for the Eagles, as their pass defense is not as strong as their run defense. Brandon Jacobs will likely be getting a lot of carries, with Ahmad Bradshaw filling it at times. The Giants will be looking for a big day out of their running backs, so if the Eagles can keep them in check they will be in great shape.
The Eagles offense looked great last week, and Michael Vick proved he can still be a viable option in their offense. The Giants have solid defense all-around, but the Eagles passing game has been great lately so they may be dropping some more defenders back into coverage. They are also giving up over 100 rushing yards per game, so LeSean McCoy should get more than six carries this week and he could be a difference maker. The Eagles have been playing better than the Giants lately, so I am going with them in this one.
FINAL SCORE PREDICTION: Philadelphia Eagles 27, New York Giants 20
