The Eagles are heavy favorites heading into the TNF clash against the Giants!
The Thursday Night Football game tonight features an old divisional rivalry in the form of the Eagles vs Giants. While the excitement of the rivalry still remains intact, the two teams could not be further apart in terms of overall talent.
The Eagles’ recent loss to the Denver Broncos only showed that this team is beatable, but for that, the Giants will have to play at a consistently high level. New York will already be without two of their top wide receivers this game, making the challenge all the more difficult.
Here are a couple of same-game parlays for the TNF game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants as per FanDuel.
Jaxson Dart 125+ Passing Yards (-550) + Saquon Barkley 20+ Receiving Yards (+116) A.J. Brown Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+185)
Total Parlay Odds: +576
Jaxson Dart will be starting just his third game of his career, and with Malik Nabers out for the season, Dart could have limited offensive production. Moreover, the Eagles’ defense is one of the better ones in the league.
Saquon Barkley’s production as a receiver has increased significantly over the last couple of games. In week 4, he had 31 receiving yards, while last week he had 54 against the Broncos. Look for more checkdown passes to Barkley against this Giants’ fearsome D-line.
A.J. Brown, Saquon Barkley, and Jalen Hurts all had a players’ meeting after last week’s loss to Denver. Brown seems to have been frustrated with the lack of targets coming his way. He could be much more involved against the Giants tonight.
Eagles Moneyline (-390) + Jalen Hurts Anytime TD scorer (-130) + Jalen Hurts 30+ Rushing Yards (-260) + DeVonta Smith 60+ Receiving Yards (+138)
Total Parlay Odds: +491
The Eagles are 4-1, and the Giants are struggling at 1-4. Philadelphia clearly has the better roster on both sides of the ball, and New York is without their WR1 in Malik Nabers. All things point to an Eagles win.
Jalen Hurts has 4 rushing touchdowns in the first 5 games. If the Eagles get close to the endzone and the Tush Push is in play, there is little doubt what the result will be.
Hurts’ dual-threat ability is the strongest part of his game, and he can make plays with his legs whenever there are limited to no options down the field. With 182 rushing yards in just 5 games, there is a good chance he goes over 30 yards tonight.
The Eagles may be looking to increase their passing game, which has been lacking. Going up against a formidable D-line, the run game may take a backseat, allowing for the likes of DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown to get more targets.

Here are some of the best player props for this week’s game between the Eagles and the Giants as per FanDuel.
Hurts has thrown for over 225 passing yards twice this season, but last week was his season-best with 280 yards against the Broncos. The Giants could clog up the run game, so look for Hurts to have more pass plays.
A.J. Brown seems to have made his frustrations over the lack of targets clear. With the Eagles expected to use more pass plays tonight, Brown could benefit significantly.
The Giants may have to look to Skattebo more tonight against the Eagles, especially with Nabers not playing and injury concerns with Darius Slayton. Skattebo has had over 50 yards rushing in each of his last three games.
The same holds true for wide receiver Wan’Dale Robinson. With Nabers no longer the WR1 and the injury concerns surrounding Slayton, the majority of the targets on pass plays should go to Robinson.
On paper, this matchup is not as exciting as it could be. Both teams are trending on opposite sides of the record column, but it is a rivalry game, and the Giants know the importance of a win here. Expect both teams to come out ready for battle in this week 6 TNF prime-time game.
