Series History

Somehow, this is the first meeting of the season as they play again Week 18 in New Jersey. Last year, the Eagles were 3-0 in the series, with the last meeting coming in the Divisional Round of the playoffs in Philadelphia, a 38-7 Eagles rout. Jalen Hurts threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score during a dominant first half as Philly led 28-0 at the break. The Eagles finished with 268 yards on the ground. Seldom-used Eagles running back Boston Scott scored his 11th touchdown against the Giants – he has only 19 TDs in his career. Scott is often called a “Giant killer.”

Why Bet on NY Giants?

New York had won three straight games under new pop culture icon in Italian-American Tommy DeVito, but that all came crashing down last Sunday in a 24-6 loss in New Orleans to end any longshot wild card hopes for the Giants. DeVito completed 20 of 34 pass attempts for 177 yards with no touchdowns or turnovers while rushing for 36 yards on four attempts. The Giants’ entire offense struggled to generate much of anything on the road against one of the league’s top defensive units. DeVito was sacked seven times.

The unlikely rookie starter has still thrown seven touchdowns to just one interception in the first five starts of his career. A win over the Eagles would be a massive addition to his growing list of accomplishments. He will start the rest of the season.

“Collectively, just not good enough,” head coach Brian Daboll said after Sunday’s game. “Pretty much take any area, (it) just wasn’t good enough. Give them credit. They did well. (They) were efficient in the pass game. We weren’t really efficient in the pass game. The run, the quarterback zone reads where really all of that was going…I think was 9 for 14, or somewhere around there. We couldn’t get the run game going, had a number of sacks (allowed). They were pretty efficient, 6 of 12 on third down and 2 of 2 in the red zone. So, collectively, it just wasn’t good enough.”

Tight end Darren Waller caught four of six targets for 40 yards. Waller returned from a five-game stint on injured reserve and finished as the Giants’ second-leading receiver against the Saints. He did not appear to be limited in terms of playing time. Waller’s final line was right around the averages (4.5 receptions and 48.0 yards per game) we saw when Daniel Jones was getting him the ball earlier this year.

The Giants’ defense is coming off one of its best performances against the run. Taking out Derek Carr’s three quarterback kneels, the Giants held Alvin Kamara, Jamaal Williams and Taysom Hill to 91 yards on 25 carries for an average of 3.6 yards per carry. It was the first time the Giants held an opponent to fewer than 120 rushing yards since Week 8, when they held the Jets to a total of 58 yards on the ground.

New York has lost kicker Randy Bullock for the rest of the season after he suffered a right hamstring injury on a kickoff during the first quarter Sunday. The Giants will elevate Cade York from the practice squad ahead of Sunday and he’ll become the team’s third placekicker of the season after Bullock previously stepped in to replace the injured Graham Gano (knee) after Week 8. Over his six games as the Giants’ kicker, Bullock converted five of six field-goal tries and went 10-for-10 on point-after attempts.

Meanwhile, no one has punted more than the Giants and punter Jamie Gillan and the punt coverage unit have been among the few positives (averaging 43.1 net yards per punt) throughout this disappointing season.

Offensive tackle Matt Peart and running back Gary Brightwell have been designated for return this week from injured reserve – although it doesn’t necessarily mean they will. Peart, a third-round draft choice in 2020, has not played since Week 5 in Miami due to a shoulder injury. He has appeared in 40 games across four seasons, including five at left tackle and one at right tackle. Brightwell is simply depth.

Why Bet on Philadelphia?

Despite losing three straight games, the Eagles still find themselves firmly in the hunt for the NFC East crown. The Giants last won in Philadelphia back in 2013, and since then, the Eagles have won 16 of the 19 overall matchups. Philly blew a double-digit lead last Monday in Seattle and lost 20-17. Drew Lock threw a 29-yard touchdown pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba with 28 seconds left to cap a 92-yard drive. Philadelphia had one last opportunity, but Julian Love made his second interception of the fourth quarter. Love also picked off Hurts in the end zone on a deep shot for Quez Watkins with 8:08 remaining to prevent the Eagles from extending their 17-13 lead.

Hurts is banged up and was a bit ill on Monday. He completed 17 of 31 passes for 143 yards and those two picks. He also rushed 13 times for 82 yards and two touchdowns, looking his usual self as a runner, where he racked up a season-high rushing yardage tally and posted his third two-score effort on the ground in the last five games. However, Hurts’ three- and one-yard touchdown runs couldn’t quite make up for his poor passing effort, which included a season-low 54.9 completion percentage and an average of just 4.6 yards per attempt. Hurts also had a particularly ineffective last quarter-plus, leading the Eagles to just 27 yards on 10 plays across two drives that ended in punts and short-circuiting two other possessions with interceptions.

Hurts ranks second in the league with 14 rushing touchdowns this season. If Hurts he has one on Monday, he will become the first quarterback ever with 15 rushing touchdowns in a season. With two rushing touchdowns, he will become the first quarterback in NFL history with multiple rushing touchdowns in five games in a season. The Eagles rank eighth in rushing yards and fifth in rushing touchdowns on the year, due in large part to Hurts. For the season, the Giants rank 29th against the run and 30th in rushing yards allowed per attempt.

Largely because of Hurts, the Eagles convert an NFL-best 72.7% of their fourth-down attempts. It helps that they are just about automatic on their tush push tries from a yard out, picking up a first down more than 90% of the time. Philadelphia has a success rate of 50% on third and fourth down combined, which also leads the league.

Starting guard Landon Dickerson had surgery on his thumb Wednesday. Dickerson is expected to miss minimal time and won’t be placed on injured reserve but likely will not play Monday. With Cam Jurgens dealing with a pectoral injury and missing Week 15, it’s possible the Eagles could be without their two starting guards in Week 16.

The Eagles opened the 21-day practice window for starting nickel cornerback Avonte Maddox on Thursday. Maddox suffered a pectoral injury in the Week 2 win over the Minnesota Vikings and has been on Injured Reserve since. Maddox would give the Eagles additional flexibility in the secondary at a time when Pro Bowl cornerback Darius Slay’s status is week-to-week with a knee injury.

Rookie Kelee Ringo started with Slay sidelined Monday and Ringo did an excellent job with three tackles and a pass defensed. He was physical, he was composed, and he used excellent technique. Maddox can be added to the active roster at any point, but the Eagles would need to make a roster move to open a spot for him. After allowing 10 straight touchdowns in the red zone, the Eagles had two stops in Monday’s game with Matt Patricia taking over the defensive play-calling.
