Prediction

Giants 17, Eagles 10

Another tight, low-scoring game seems to be on the horizon. Both teams play good defense, and both teams can nullify the others quarterback play. The Eagles will likely put pressure on Eli Manning, and the Giants will likely take away Carson Wentz’ weapons downfield.

However, the Giants are a better football team and have the weapons to knock off the Eagles. Expect another late Odell Beckham Jr. touchdown to give the Giants the lead, and expect the Giants defense to deny the Eagles a chance to get back into the game, and to lead New York to their first season sweep of Philadelphia since 2007, and more importantly, their first playoff berth since 2011.
