Those poor, poor New York Giants. Turns out the Eagles were extra motivated to pulverize them in the NFC divisional round, and they did, by 31 points.
That source of motivation? The Eagles felt they were being disrespected by fans, oddsmakers, and the media heading into the playoffs. The Birds lost Games 15 and 16 without Jalen Hurts, then did not look all that great winning Game 17 and their stock dipped a bit. They dropped to the No. 4 favorite to win Super Bowl LVII despite having won 14 games.Said linebacker Haason Reddick: “We hear everything, man. We hear what y’all say. We hear what the people [are] saying. And media. Fans. Don’t think we don’t hear it all.”
As Hayes writes, they’ve been ticked that they weren’t picked. And now , they have opened as only 1½-point favorites at home against the 49ers in the NFC title game. Whatever it takes to fire you up, fellas. Here’s hoping you are disrespected in the Super Bowl odds as well.
