The New York Giants (2-11) will take on the hosting duties at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey as they host yet another one of their most hated rivals, the Philadelphia Eagles (11-2). The Eagles have already clinched the NFC East with their victory last weekend but unfortunately lost their star quarterback Carson Wentz for the season whilst doing so. The two teams last met earlier this season in the City of Brotherly Love where the G-Men were edged out by the Eagles by a score of 27-24 at Lincoln Financial Field. Overall, the Eagles have won seven of their previous ten contests against Big Blue. The game is set to kick off at 1:00 PM EST and will be televised on FOX.
The Giants have plenty of tumult within their own organization. In the previous two weeks, the Giants saw its Head Coach Ben McAdoo fired and a controversial benching of their franchise quarterback Eli Manning. These two narratives were capped off by New York getting smacked at home against the hated Dallas Cowboys, last Sunday when their fierce rivals annihilated the G-Men 30-10.

Out of the gate, we have noticed a slight lean on the Giants. This revealed by a half-point line move downward from the opening tick of -8. However, analytics indicate that a lot of the action is on Philly. The Eagles have 64% of the cash and 77% of the ticket action at the present moment. In Over/Under markets, the number has remained idle at 40 despite substantial action on the Over. 89% of the cash and 64% of the tickets have been placed on the Over in this market.

The Giants have orchestrated their two outright wins this season as a double-digit dog. This came against Denver in the Mile High City as a 13.5-point pup and then once again as a 10-point dog at home against Kansas City. This is not a team to sleep on when they are off the radar, like they are here. The fact remains that given all the chaos within the Giants administratively, no one is interested in backing them. Against arguably the NFC’s best team, this is only likely to be enhanced. However, that creates a scenario where we can take advantage of an inflated point spread.
