Giants open up as 3.5-point underdogs despite Philadelphia’s recent struggles
The 3-2 Philadelphia Eagles are 3.5-point favorites as they travel to MetLife Stadium to face the 2-4 New York Giants on Sunday, per FanDuel Sportsbook.
The Eagles are looking to bounce back after suffering injuries and early struggles this season. Their recent matchups have averaged a total of 45.8 points per game, but they have only managed to hit the over in two of their six contests. The Eagles also have not covered the spread when favored by 3.5 points or more this season in two games.
The Giants are 3-1 against the spread when playing as at least 3.5-point underdogs this year. As they prepare for this crucial matchup, the Giants aim to get their first home win of the season, though they’ll face a tough challenge against an Eagles offense led by quarterback Jalen Hurts, running back Saquon Barkley, and wide receivers A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith.
The game will mark the return to MetLife Stadium of Barkley, who spent the first six years of his career with the Giants before signing with Philadelphia in free agency.
The Eagles defeated the Cleveland Browns, 20-16, on Sunday. The Giants lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, 17-7.
The Giants could look to close the gap in the NFC East with a victory, potentially improving their record to 3-4.
