Kickoff: Sunday, 8:30 p.m. ET
Line: Philadelphia -3, Total: 50.5

Two red-hot NFC East foes clash on Sunday night when the Eagles host the Giants.

After looking miserable throughout the entire preseason and the first two weeks of the regular season, New York has now won three straight games. Philadelphia improved to 4-1 last week with a 34-28 victory over the Rams. The Eagles have dominated this series recently, going 9-3 (SU and ATS) in the past dozen meetings, but the Giants have taken two of the last three, including a 15-7 victory in the most recent matchup that occurred last October in Philly. Eli Manning is just 9-12 SU (9-11-1 ATS) versus the Eagles in his career, with 38 TD and 22 INT. Their offense has looked excellent though, averaging 35.0 PPG and 395 total YPG during the three-game win streak, and they’re up against an Eagles defense that just allowed a 375-yard, 3-TD performance to Austin Davis. New York is an outstanding 38-17 ATS in road games after two or more consecutive wins since 1992. The Eagles, however, are 158-124 ATS against conference opponents in that time. The Giants will likely be without Rashad Jennings (knee) in this game, while LB Jon Beason (toe) is questionable. Philadelphia has some defensive injuries of concern with LB Mychal Kendricks (calf) and CB Brandon Boykin (hamstring) both questionable, but LB DeMeco Ryans (groin) has been upgraded to probable.

The Giants are playing excellent football and QB Eli Manning (1,174 pass yards, 11 TD, 5 INT) has completely erased a miserable start to the year with eight touchdowns and just one pick over the past three weeks. Manning is making smarter decisions with the football and has an excellent opportunity to put up big numbers with a matchup with this Philadelphia team. One player who will need to play well for the Giants in this matchup is RB Andre Williams (170 rush yards, 2 TD). Williams is starting in place of the injured Rashad Jennings, and will be relied upon to run the football more effectively than his paltry 3.1 yards per carry this year. WR Victor Cruz (21 rec, 321 yards, 1 TD) will look to rebound from a game in which he caught just three of his six targets for 22 yards. He’ll have plenty of room to work with against this secondary, and he has thrived in this matchup in his career with 533 receiving yards and 5 TD in six meetings. Defensively, the Giants are allowing 265.0 passing yards per game (25th in NFL) and 99.0 rushing yards per game (10th in NFL). This Philly passing attack can be lethal at times, so the Giants will need to be prepared. They can’t, however, forget about stopping LeSean McCoy.

After throwing just two interceptions in 13 games last season, Eagles QB Nick Foles (1,380 pass yards, 8 TD, 5 INT) has already more than doubled that number this year. The quarterback has looked erratic at times, but he does lead an offense that is averaging 31.2 PPG this season (2nd in NFL). Foles will need to take care of the football against the Giants, as they do have some corners that are capable of making him pay for mistakes. New York has forced 10 turnovers in the past three weeks, which includes eight interceptions. WR Jeremy Maclin (25 rec, 429 yards, 4 TD) has been Foles’ go-to guy and he should be in for a big game, as he’s been getting open at will in Chip Kelly’s offense. The Eagles, however, will need RB LeSean McCoy (273 rush yards, 1 TD) to snap out of his recent funk sooner rather than later. McCoy’s season high in rushing yards this season is 81. This is the same guy who led the NFL in rushing yards last year, when he rushed for over 100 yards seven times last season, including a 217-yard performance. In his career versus New York, McCoy has averaged 4.9 yards per carry and has gained 1,022 total yards in 10 meetings. Philly’s defense is allowing 274.2 passing yards per game (29th in NFL) and 132.0 rushing yards per game (24th in NFL). They will need to start emphasizing that side of the ball more, or they’ll have little to no success if they do end up making it to the postseason. On the positive side, the Eagles defense has at least one takeaway in all five games, including three versus the Rams last week.
