Why New York Will Win
It’s not like the Eagles are going to get out to a big lead and then run away and hide.
Philadelphia can’t come up with a consistent running attack – even though it came up with a few big things in last week’s loss to Baltimore – and the turnovers keep on coming.
They’ve slowed down a bit, but the Eagles have given it up 12 times so far and are getting killed in the turnover margin. They’ve only one the stat once so far this year, and that’s when they were a +2 in the lone win over San Francisco.

Fantasy Football Player To Watch
RB Boston Scott, Philadelphia
Forever known as a fantasy Championship Week free agent legend by those who go through Week 17, he ran for 54 yards and three touchdowns in the regular season finale against the Giants last season.

What’s Going To Happen
The Eagles have a serviceable enough offense to control the game on the ground. The Giants don’t have anything offensively to rely on. As long as Philadelphia isn’t royally screwing up with a slew of turnovers, it’ll grind its way to a win.
