Giants vs Eagles
Giants vs Eagles
Sunday night the New York Giants head to Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia to take on the Eagles. Odds makers are call the home team a slight favorite in this one. NFL betting lines have the Eagles at -3 with the total sitting at 42.

Eli Manning and the Giants offense will face a tough task this week against a Philly defense which has done an excellent job getting after the quarterback. The Eagles defense is second in the NFC in sacks with 27 and third in the conference in total yards allowed per game with 280.5.

The problem for Donovan McNabb and the rest of the Eagles offense is that the Giants rank first in those two defensive categories.

McNabb has thrown for almost 2,200 yards and ten touchdowns to just 4 interceptions. The best news for Philadelphia is that Brian
Westbrook is healthy. The Eagles Pro Bowl running back was sidelined with knee and rib problems but returned two weeks ago against Atlanta scoring twice.

The Giants running game is anchored by Brandon Jacobs. The bruising Giants rusher has compiled almost 700 yards and 7 touchdowns while averaging 5.2 yards per carry. Manning and the passing game, along with the run is generating an average of more than 28 points per game.

"We are trying to improve every week. We have a lot of drive in us," Manning said. "We know that we have a tough road ahead of us and it is matter of we have to keep playing at a high level."

That tough road starts in Philly tonight. This NFC East match-up will be a fun one to watch and will be a playoff atmosphere. Look for the both the Eagles and the Giants to be play at a high level. Take the Eagles and give the 3 points at home.
