Overview
The Giants have struggled to get a win on the road. They have only one road win this season, and it was an overtime win against a struggling Saints team in Week 3. The Giants’ defense has struggled to stop anyone while on the road. They are allowing 29 points per game when playing away. During those games, they have struggled to stop the run. Offensively the Giants struggled throughout the season. They are averaging 17 points per game and have only scored over 21 points three times this season. This Giants team still has a lot of question marks around both sides of the ball. That will continue this week as Jake Fromm will make his first start.
Philadelphia is hitting its stride at the right time. They have won four of their last five games, and that is due to their dominant running game. The Eagles are averaging 217.8 rushing yards throughout the past five games. That is one of the reasons that they are averaging 26 points on offense. Defensively, the Eagles are allowing 22 points per game. That puts them in the middle of the pack of the NFL, which means that teams can score against them. The Giants will have opportunities to score on the Eagles’ defense this week, but can they capitalize?

Bottom Line
Philadelphia has been explosive on offense recently. Their run game has been dominant, and they are scoring points consistently. The Eagles have scored 30+ points in four of their last seven games. This week against this Giants defense playing on the road, they have a chance to do it again. The Giants have scored 13 or more points against the Eagles every game since 2016. That means this game has a chance to be high-scoring. The betting value on this game is betting on the over now that it’s continued to come down.
Pick: Total Over 40.5 (-110)
