Match preview

Philadelphia took control of the race to win the NFC East by defeating rivals Dallas last week, but they could be made to work for the divisional title when they take on the New York Giants.

The Eagles were particularly impressive on defence last week, holding the Cowboys to just nine points and no touchdowns, but that came in their final home game of the season and it has been a different story on the road.

They have allowed 37 or more points in three of their last five away games and only once have they conceded fewer than 24, making the Giants an attractive bet to pass the 20-point mark.

Despite having a record of 4-11, the Giants have operated well enough on offence and have scored 77 points in their last two games, both of which resulted in victories.

They defeated Washington 41-35 after overtime last week with fit-again quarterback Daniel Jones and running back Saquon Barkley leading the way.

Jones threw five passing touchdowns while Barkley accounted for a mammoth 279 total yards and two touchdowns, showing how hot their offence can be when things click.

The Eagles defensive line is not quite 100 per cent with Derek Barnett and Fletcher Cox carrying knocks, and the Giants should be able to put points on the board and make things interesting.
