It’s an NFC East showdown at Lincoln Financial Field between the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, October 26.

The two teams just met with New York topping Philly in Week 6, and my top NFL picks and Giants vs. Eagles predictions are calling for another high-scoring afternoon in The City of Brotherly Love in Week 8.

Giants vs Eagles prediction

Giants vs Eagles Best bet: Over 43.5 (-105)

The New York Giants have surrendered the 10th most points per game and the seventh-highest EPA per play while ranking 18th in defensive DVOA. New York has also been particularly weak against the run while allowing the third-most yards and fourth-highest EPA per carry.

As a result, I’m anticipating Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley having a much larger impact in Week 8 than he did in the 34-17 Week 6 loss on Thursday Night Football.

Of course, the Eagles haven’t exactly been a defensive juggernaut, either. Philadelphia is 23rd in defensive DVOA with the fifth-lowest pressure percentage, after all.

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts also got on track with a sterling showing against a tough Minnesota Vikings defense in Week 7. He aired it out for a monster 326 yards and three touchdowns at an eye-popping 14.2 yards per attempt and the highest EPA per play of the week.

On the opposite sideline, Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart has provided a boost to the offense with a 10th-ranked adjusted EPA per play and 11th-ranked success rate. He’s mobile, and the Giants are 18th in dropback success rate the past four weeks after ranking 28th to start the season.

Giants vs Eagles same-game parlay

Philadelphia got caught by New York in the Week 6 loss on Thursday Night Football, but I’m not anticipating the Giants sneaking up on the Eagles at home. The Eagles are coming off a solid road win against the Minnesota Vikings, and Philly is a sterling 9-2 with a healthy 25.2 points per game at Lincoln Financial Field dating back to the beginning of last season. 

Of course, the Eagles also enter Week 8 with an active 16-7 record against the spread, including the postseason. 

Additionally, as discussed, Hurts also showed up in a big way last week against Minny. The Vikings have the second-highest blitz rate in the league and rank third in pressure percentage, so with the Giants generating pressure at the ninth-lowest rate, I expect Hurts to have success through the air again Sunday.
