N.Y. Giants at Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (Interstat) — The New York Giants will visit the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday for a National Football League game at Lincoln Financial Field. The Giants enter with a 4-2-1 record, while Philadelphia is 2-6. The forecast at game time is 56 degrees.

New York is coming off a 27-21 overtime win at Houston in its most recent game. J.J. McCarthy completed 20 of 28 passes for 252 yards and added 1 rushing yard. DJ Reader and Tyler Nubin each had two tackles. The Giants have wins over Dallas, Tennessee, Arizona and Houston, a tie with Washington and losses to the Los Angeles Rams and New Orleans. New York will look to carry the momentum from its overtime road win into another road matchup.

Philadelphia’s most recent result was a 27-10 loss at Washington. Tanner McKee is the player to watch for the Eagles. In that game, he completed 23 of 34 passes for 212 yards and ran four times for 25 yards. Against Dallas, McKee completed 23 of 35 passes for 211 yards and ran for a 1-yard touchdown. Against Carolina, he completed 26 of 45 passes for 215 yards and one touchdown. Cooper DeJean had a 12-yard punt return and three tackles in the Washington game, and Jonathan Greenard added one tackle.

The Eagles opened the season with wins over Washington and Tennessee before dropping six straight games. Philadelphia will need McKee to manage the offense and avoid turnovers against a Giants defense that has shown the ability to make key stops. New York’s offense, led by McCarthy, will try to build on its overtime success and take advantage of a Philadelphia team searching for consistency. The Giants’ running game and short passing attack could be important against an Eagles defense that has allowed points in bunches during its recent skid.

Philadelphia’s offense will try to establish rhythm early and keep the Giants’ pass rush off balance. McKee has thrown for more than 200 yards in each of his past three games, giving the Eagles a steady presence through the air. The Giants will counter with a defense that has had mixed results this season but produced enough plays to help New York reach its current record. The Eagles’ defense will need to contain McCarthy and limit big plays.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a final score of Philadelphia 32, New York Giants 25. Interstat’s ELO system gives Philadelphia a 71.8 percent probability to win. The New York Giants have been installed as a pregame favorite with a spread of -3, and the over/under for the game is 38.5.
