The New York Giants will take on the Philadelphia Eagles for Thurday Night’s Football action on Week 6. The Giants have had a rough start to their season, losing to the New Orleans Saints and Spencer Rattler in Week 5 and only winning a single game so far against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Giants decided to bench Russell Wilson and start their rookie QB Jaxson Dart, and while he won New York their first game of the season, he second start was less than ideal. Dart threw two interceptions against the Saints, proving that he has a long way to go before becoming a household name in the NFL.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a loss against the Denver Broncos in Week 5, after going undefeated for four-straight weeks to start the season. The Eagles have had their own share of problems this season, even though they are 4-1 for the season. Some of their glaring problems include their defense, which has not been as good as it was last season, and their offensive lapses with Saquon Barkley having a very slow start to his season, and A.J. Brown complaining about lack of touches. The champs scored just 17 point against the Broncos’ stout defense and even tho Jalen Hurts has been excellent this season, the rest of the team needs to pick up the pace in order for them to contend for the title yet again.
| Recommended Bets | FanDuel | BetMGM |
|---|---|---|
| Jalen Hurts 2+ TD passes | +152 | +160 |
| Cam Skattebo Anytime TD | +155 | +145 |
| Eagles moneyline | -104 | -104 |
Jalen Hurts has thrown 7 touchdows in his 5 games so far. However, all seven of his passing touchdowns have come in the last three games. He has thrown at least 2 touchdowns in all three games since week3.
The Giants may need to rely heavily on Cam Skattebo and the run game in this matchup because they are down two key wide receivers. Malik Nabers is out for the season and Darius Slayton is dealing with an injury.
The Eagles to win this game is one of the better bets. There is a huge gap in both teams in terms of the talent available on the roster. Moreover, this is a battle between one of the top teams in the league against one of the bottom teams.
We expect the Philadelphia Eagles to take down the New York Giants. Despite Philly’s shaky pass and rushing offense and a recent fourth-quarter collapse against Denver, they are still way too talented for the Giants to overcome. Jalen Hurts may look for his receivers in this game, given the Giants’ shaky pass defense. And even if the Giants find a way to stop the passing game, stopping Saquon Barkley and his rushing attempts is a very tall task as they rank 26th in run defense.
Rookie QB Jaxson Dart’s turnovers in their last game against the Saints doomed the Giants, and you could expect the same in this game, given the Eagles’ dominant defensive unit, which can at times shut everything down. Expect a 24-17 victory for the Eagles.
Prediction: Eagles win the game 24-17
