Here’s how we’re betting Saturday’s contest between the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles, which kicks off at 8:15 p.m. ET on FOX.
Eagles vs. Giants prediction and analysis
As has been the case with nearly every matchup this postseason, we already saw a preview of how Saturday’s contest might look when these teams faced off in Week 14. And it wasn’t pretty for the Giants. The Eagles ran roughshod all over New York’s hapless defense in that contest, finishing with a ridiculous 253 rushing yards en route to a 48-22 win. It was the 10th-most rushing yards allowed by any team this season, and the loss served as the Giants’ worst by scoring margin and by single-game DVOA .
That shouldn’t come as a surprise: New York’s run defense allowed the second-most yards per carry in the regular season and ranked dead last in rush defense DVOA. That Week 14 showing was the second time this group had allowed 200-plus rushing yards and was one of 13 games allowing at least 100 yards across the 17-week regular season.
There’s been a lot of excitement about Daniel Jones after last week’s stellar playoff debut , and there’s no denying that his stock is on the rise overall. Still, do you trust him to do it again? He’s thrown for 230 or more yards just three times this season, and two of them came against the beleaguered Vikings, who ranked 31st in passing yards allowed .
