How to Bet Eagles vs. Giants in New York
After struggling to move the ball in the passing game against Seattle, I’m not expecting much from Philadelphia this week. This is why I’m leaning towards New York as 10.5-point underdogs.
My choice for this matchup is the under, considering the over/under line at 43.5. Heading into this game, games featuring New York have seen an average combined score of 37.6 points, and I believe this game will remain under 43.5.
