Brian Daboll and the New York Giants rekindle an NFC East rivalry when they travel to Philadelphia for a match against Jalen Hurts’ Eagles.
A trip to the NFC championship game is on the line when Saquon Barkley, Daniel Jones and the Giants’ offense suit up for a battle against the division’s top seed. Can Hurts, A.J. Brown and the Philadelphia attack do enough to outpace a Giants team that pulled off a first-round upset? The game is scheduled to kick off Saturday at 8:15 p.m. ET from Lincoln Financial Field.

Lorenzo Reyes: Eagles 25, Giants 20
The Eagles will have the rest and have the stronger roster here. Philly, however, has failed to cover any of its last four games (though two of those were games Hurts didn’t start) while the Giants have covered their last five and seven of their last eight. New York, in fact, has been an against-the-spread machine, tying the Bengals for the league lead with a 13-4 record. This is a case where the line is just a touch too rich for me.

Hurts’ shoulder did not appear on the Eagles’ injury report to start the week, and that’s the most encouraging news for Philadelphia. But the Eagles might take a while to get going after a week off, while the Giants appear to be rolling after their win over the Vikings last week. The Giants may have lost their season series to the Eagles, but Sunday’s game will be a different story. They look like a different team from their 48-22 loss to the Eagles earlier this season and will upset the Eagles Saturday night.
Richard Morin: Eagles 28, Giants 26
This game will be a lot closer than people think. Giants coach Brian Daboll has his team believing and will be a tough assignment for the NFC’s No. 1 seed. The Eagles, coming off a bye, maybe a little groggy to start this game as Hurts has only played once in the last several weeks. I think the Eagles will squeeze it out, but I see the Giants covering nicely.
