The Philadelphia Eagles (10-4) host their longtime rivals, the New York Giants (5-9), at Lincoln Financial Field in the late window on Christmas Day.
The Eagles are 12-point favorites and the over/under is 42.5 total points.
Both teams are vulnerable at the moment and this game could provide some golden opportunities for bettors.
Here are three prop bets to consider, per BetMGM.
Total Points OVER 53.5 (+325)
Neither defense is worth putting money on. With the number hovering in the low 40s, the oddsmakers are looking for another game in which the offenses trip over themselves.
The Giants are averaging just 13.3 points per game over their last three. The Eagles haven’t been much better at 16.3.
But when these teams get together, you can throw out a lot of the data.
The Eagles need to win and the Giants want to finally put up a good show against Philly on national television.
Football data analyst Warren Sharp is reporting that games played in Philadelphia this season are averaging a league-high 59.7 combined points per game.
It’s worth a shot.
Eagles WR A.J. Brown UNDER 74.5 receiving yards (-115)
A.J. Brown is one of the NFL’s top wideouts statistically, ranking second in the NFL in receiving yards (1,314) and is fifth in receptions (a career-high 95) this season.
But most of that damage was done in the first eight weeks. The facts are that quarterback Jalen Hurts is having difficulty throwing deep lately and Brown has only eclipsed 74.5 receiving yards twice over the last six games.
With Giants rookie cornerback Deonte Banks improving with each passing week, Brown could be quiet again this week.
That being said, you might to put your chips on Brown’s receiving partner, DeVonta Smith.
Giants WR Darius Slayton OVER 27.5 receiving yards (-120)
The Giants are committed to Darius Slayton, Wan’Dale Robinson, and rookie Jalin Hyatt as their starters and they have been getting the snaps as of late.
Slayton has been inconsistent, but that is not entirely his fault. When he gets the targets, he produces. In this game, the Eagles will likely focus their resources on the other two wideouts due to their explosiveness and also on tight end Darren Waller.
If Slayton is single-covered the entire game, he should easily surpass the number.
