Betting on the Philadelphia Eagles
It’s only a matter of time before the Eagles will officially get into the postseason, and it might take them a few weeks to do so as the top seed in the National Conference. Not only does Philadelphia have the best record in the league, but they are also among the best in the league on offense and defense, making them the most complete team this season.
They have scored 338 points under Jalen Hurts (the second-best figure) they are third in net passing yards per attempt (7.2), they are the club with the fewest interceptions (only three), and have scored 23 rushing touchdowns, more than any other team. Additionally, they are impossible to stop in the red zone due to their second-best effectiveness percentage of 73.8%.
On the defensive side, the performance is equally good. No one allows fewer yards per play than the Eagles with an average of 4.7, they are also the leaders in forcing turnovers with 22,first in interceptions with 15, they average the fewest net passing yards allowed with 4.8, are second in sacks with 42 and opponents barely score on 50% of their red zone visits. However, there’s something they need to improve: they must be a little more consistent in stopping the ground attack.
Betting on the New York Giants
The Giants are still in second place in the NFC wild-card standings, but they have fallen behind with three losses and a tie. This week, it appears like the dominant Eagles will fail to win again.
In that five-game span, the New York team has surpassed 20 points only once, something that speaks to the offensive problems they have had throughout the campaign. Their 245 points are the ninth fewest in the league, they rank equal in average yards per play at 5.1 and have thrown just 11 TDs, the fourth-lowest figure. Their ground game, which totaled the sixth-most yards in the league and 15 touchdowns, has been their savior.
The defensive unit is the heart and soul of the team, so to speak. Their inability to respond in this area is one of the causes of their current slump, and the three losses in their last five games mark the only time all season that they have given up more than 23 points. Their strengths are in the red zone, where they barely allow touchdowns 48.9% of the time, but their weaknesses lie in preventing the ground offense and maintaining discipline, as they are second in penalties with 90.
JefeBet Prediction
The Eagles scored 75 points in each of their last two games against strong defenses like the Packers’ and Titans’, so they shouldn’t slow down this Sunday against a Giants team that has played well defensively all year but isn’t in a good place right now.
Yes, New York has trouble attacking, but their forte is the run, precisely Philadelphia’s weak point. Additionally, eight of the last 10 games between the two at Giants’ home have resulted in the Over.
Prediction: Over (PHI 26 – NY 20).
