The NFC East tends to get a bad rap for being less than exciting, but it’s been one of the most interesting divisions in the NFL this year. The New York Giants (4-3 SU) and Philadelphia Eagles (4-3 SU) have greatly improved from last season and will be looking to chalk up another victory in the win column in Week 9.
- The Eagles are 10-4 SU in their last 14 games on the road after losing their most recent road game.
- The Giants are 2-5 SU in their last seven games after a win.
- The Eagles are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games on the road after failing to cover in their two most recent road games.
Sportsbooks initially set the G-Men as 3-point home faves with a total of 43.
Most of the trends in this one are pointing to Doug Pederson’s club. Philly is 13-3 SU and ATS in its last 16 games against New York, and 8-1 SU and ATS in its last nine trips to the Big Apple.
The OVER is also red-hot when the Eagles clash with the Giants in New York. In the last four matchups between Philadelphia and New York at MetLife Stadium, the OVER is 4-0.
High-scoring affairs have been the norm lately when the Eagles play away from home. Seven of Philadelphia’s last eight road tilts have gone above the closing total.
The Eagles had the Cowboys on the ropes in Week 8 before collapsing in the fourth quarter, and that’s a trend that will likely worry Philly backers. The Eagles have now relinquished two fourth-quarter leads this season. If you’re worried it’s going to happen again this weekend, it may be wise to grab the Eagles on the first-half spread.
