Thursday Night Football: Eagles Look to Continue Primetime Dominance Over Rival Giants
A classic NFC East rivalry gets the primetime treatment as the Philadelphia Eagles travel to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Giants. The Eagles enter as a full touchdown favorite, a line bolstered by their incredible historical success in this setting. Philadelphia has won 11 consecutive primetime games against the Giants and holds a perfect 3-0 record against them on Thursdays.
Philadelphia Eagles Outlook
The Eagles will fly into New York looking to extend their divisional dominance. While their offense is always a threat, their defensive front could be the story of this game. They will, however, be monitoring the status of a key player, as defensive tackle Jalen Carter was added to the injury report on Wednesday and is listed as questionable for the game. His presence is a major factor in the Eagles’ interior defense, and his potential absence could provide a rare opportunity for the Giants’ run game.
New York Giants Outlook
The Giants face a monumental task, and their injury report isn’t helping matters. The offense is in danger of being without two critical starters, as wide receiver Darius Slayton and offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor were both sidelined in practice this week. Losing Slayton would remove a top receiving threat, while Eluemunor’s absence would further weaken an offensive line tasked with stopping Philadelphia’s ferocious pass rush. Playing at home will provide a boost, but overcoming these potential personnel losses against a rival that has had their number will be a significant challenge.
Prediction
The trends and the injury reports all point in one direction. The Eagles’ historical command over the Giants in primetime is too significant to ignore. Compounding the issue for New York are the key injuries on offense. Facing the Eagles’ defense is tough enough at full strength; doing so without a starting offensive lineman and a top receiver is a recipe for a long night.
Even with Jalen Carter’s questionable status, Philadelphia has the depth and talent to control the line of scrimmage. Expect the Eagles’ offense to do enough to pull away while their defense smothers a shorthanded Giants attack that will struggle to move the ball and score points. The 7-point spread is large for a divisional road game, but the matchup disadvantages for the Giants are simply too great.
The Pick: Eagles -7
Total: Under 40.5
Predicted Score: Eagles 24, Giants 13
