Stephen Nover's NFL Underdog Special - 4-1 Last 5 NFL 'dogs
(NFL) NY Giants vs. Philadelphia,
Point Spread: 10.00 | 101.00 NY Giants (Away)
Result: Loss
Point Spread: 10.00 | 101.00 NY Giants (Away)
Result: Loss
The Eagles have won four of their last five games to reach 7-7. The Eagles are more average than good, though. During this five-game span the Eagles have faced the following five quarterbacks: Garrett Gilbert, Zach Wilson, Daniel Jones, Trevor Siemian and Teddy Bridgewater.
Philadelphia's lone loss during this time frame came to Jones and the Giants, 13-17, in Week 12. Jalen Hurts had the worst game of his two-year NFL career in that matchup throwing three interceptions.
The Giants won't have the injured Jones. Instead they'll go with untested Jake Fromm, who will be making his NFL first start. Fromm is a downgrade from Jones, but he can't be worse than Mike Glennon. Fromm has had a full week of working with New York's first-stringers this week. He has good skill position weapons.
The Eagles are on a short week having beaten COVID-19 decimated Washington, 27-17, this past Tuesday night. The Eagles might not have their head coach, Nick Sirianni. The Eagles have the most inexperienced coaching staff in the NFL. It's a challenge for them to prepare on such a short week.
The Giants are out of playoff contention at 4-10. But their defense has been hanging in and they will have motivation for this matchup. If you discount games against the Chargers and Buccaneers - two offenses with far stronger passing attacks than the Eagles - the Giants have given up an average of 17.8 points in their last six games.
Besides this being a long-standing division rivalry, the Giants still hold a legitimate grudge against the Eagles for Philadelphia tanking in last season's finale against Washington. The Giants beat the Cowboys in their final game, but were denied the NFC East Division title when the Eagles failed to beat Washington. Then Eagles coach Doug Pederson replaced Hurts with backup Nate Sudfeld during the fourth quarter against Washington. Sudfeld was horrible, to no one's surprise, committing two costly turnovers.
The Giants also want to see if Fromm can do anything given an opportunity. So there's some intrigue there.
