New York Giants (-14) Playing for Nothing vs. Playing-For-Everything Philadelphia Eagles

The New House of York Giants are locked inwards to the No. 6 seed, win or turn a loss Sunday against Philadelphia. The Eagles can clench the No. 1 seed with a win, and put up unload all the path to No. 5 with a loss, which would mean opening the playoffs against Uncle Tom Diamond Jim inward Tampa Bay.

So, yeah … the stakes are a little different for these II teams, which is wherefore Philadelphia is preferred past 14.

But before you go and spring on that Eagles line, take this: At DraftKings Sportsbook, 87 % of bets and 70 % of palm on spread out bets are coming inwards on the Giants, and 70 % of moneyline wagers are coming inward on New York at +675.

That is a somewhat nutcase circle of splits. But with Jalen Hurts still listed as “limited” and the Eagles on a two-game losing streak ever so since Hurts spite his shoulder, the betting public is not as high up on Philly as was the vitrine 2 weeks ago. And when all of the force per unit area is on 1 team (Eagles) and the other can allow many of its backups to child's play for their next contracts (Giants), at that place is an incentivization dynamic and a freewheeling thing that tilts things simply a wee bit in New York’s favor.

And fifty-fifty if four-in-hand Brian Daboll rests Daniel Mary Harris Jones and Saquon Barkley, it is not similar he testament have got to turning to a lot of novices. Anybody exterior of Buffalo and Miami think this must-win game?

Yesterday, the Buffalo Bills ended the 17-year playoff drouth by defeating the Dolphins 22-16. QB Tyrod President Taylor went 19 of 27 for 204 release yards and a TD. The Bills will live playing the Jaguars inward the WC round. Can the Bills swage the Jags? #DroughtIsOver

Tyrod Zachary Taylor Starting For New York?

No, we perform not know, because coach-and-four Brian Daboll is playing poker this calendar week and holding his cards confining to the vest. But it is reasonable to take over that regular if John Paul Jones starts and plays New York’s for the first time offensive series, Daboll will have got a warm hook. Why peril your No. 1 field general inwards a meaningless game?

Taylor is no more spring chicken, having spent 12 years in the conference with the Ravens, Bills, Browns, Chargers and Texans. And unlike Jones, who will follow a liberate federal agent this off-season, Joseph Deems Taylor is below contract bridge to New House of York for another season. So on that point is no best clip to pay him the clump for an entire mettlesome and consider what he does with it. There is always a chance that Inigo Jones could acquire offend inward the untamed scorecard round against Gopher State or San Francisco, and Elizabeth Taylor would and so turn the man.

This deficiency of sure thing has kept the sportsbooks from offering any participant props for this game, regular on the kickers. Those lines testament likely non turn up until Lord's Day morning, when we feature best intel on who will and testament not be playing, so all we experience to piece of work with for at present is the spreadhead and the over/under (43).

But if Deems Taylor plays QB for the Giants, a brace of things to hold in mind:

  • Last season in hexad games for the Texans, he threw for II TDs twice and had a pass completion per centum of 60.7.
  • In 2020 with the Chargers, he appeared inwards only one spunky and was 16-of-30 with no TDs in a 16-13 victory vs. the Bengals, and inward 2019 he played inwards only when trio games for L.A. and had I TD toss inward mop-up duty.
  • In 2018 with Cleveland,he had II TD passes and ii interceptions piece starting the first-class honours degree 2 games, and so got injured and was replaced by Baker Mayfield.
  • In 2017 with the Bills, he ruined the fixture flavour with three sequential 200-plus yards pass games to aid death a 16-year playoff drought.

If you ascertain a passing yardage prop line of products for him someplace inwards the really low 100s, an “over” may follow in order. As for the Giants rushers, Matt Brieda and Gary Brightwell experience a combined 70 carries all season. Brieda is the likelier of the ii to live a featured running back, while Alben William Barkley (also a loose agent-to-be) watches.

Brieda had 59 yards on ennead rushes lowest week against the Colts, and you may insure a rushing yardage prop somewhere inward the 40s or 50s. Before betting it, check-out procedure out the take turns rushing yardage line, because the Giants are far to a greater extent likely to run for than stroke since the chances of injuries are lour when you spiel ground-and-pound.

Brieda would non allay follow inward the NFL if he could not manage stuff and nonsense same this:

On over/unders, the Eagles are 10-6-0, tied for 2d in the NFL slow Minnesota. But they were under by a dozen points last-place week in a 20-10 deprivation to the New Orleans Saints that left wing them inward their electric current precarious position. City of Brotherly Love is now priced at -1200 to win the NFC East, spell the Cowboys are at +700 at DraftKings and -1100 and +850 at FanDuel. It would use up a Giants win on with a Cowboys win o'er the Commanders for that Dallas wager to hit.

For those wondering, a parlay of Giants moneyline and Dallas to win the NFC East would make up at the value of +6275 … if you could child's play it. But we tried at every bingle licensed New York sportsbook, and none would go for that specific wager. Sacrificing a few gallons of gasoline, we horde to New island of Jersey to try the same wager and struck come out at HardRock, Bet365, Betway, and Barstool. Even CircaSports (available in Nevada, Colorado, and IA only), which prides itself on accepting any and all bets, does not make this parlay available.

Anyway, the other trend to cognise is the Eagles’ record when Hurts is their starter: 13-1. Coach Nick Sirianni said Friday, “It’s trending inward the flop direction,” and receiver A.J. Brown allow on that Hurts has been practicing with the foremost unit. “He’s ease crafting, he’s relieve knocking the rusting off. But i believe he’ll live amercement coming on Sunday.”

The shoemaker's last clip Hurts played the Giants plump for on Dec. 11, he had heptad rushes for 77 yards and passed for 2 TDs and 217 yards. But the participant who really wounded the Giants was running rearwards Miles Sanders, who had 17 carries for a season-high 144 yards. His player props are not in time up, either.

You require a prop for Big Blue that will tolerate you to turn the line after the 1st canton no matter what? They are +450 to try a field of operations end on their firstly possession. Make or miss, that could be a victor … and Giants fans don’t feature to charge whether the game ends in a win, loss, or a tie.

ew York Giants are locked in to the No. 6 seed, win or turn a loss William Ashley Sunday against Philadelphia. The Eagles tin clench the No. 1 seed with a win, and tin put down all the way to No. 5 with a loss, which would stand for gap the playoffs against Tom Diamond Jim Brady inward Tampa Bay.

So, yeah … the stakes are a little different for these two teams, which is why City of Brotherly Love is best-loved by 14.

But before you move and bound on that Eagles line, debate this: At DraftKings Sportsbook, 87 % of bets and 70 % of hold on spreading bets are coming in on the Giants, and 70 % of moneyline wagers are coming inwards on New House of York at +675.

That is a somewhat crazy circle of splits. But with Jalen Hurts relieve listed as “limited” and the Eagles on a two-game losing run ever so since Hurts suffer his shoulder, the betting public is not as heights on Philly as was the case ii weeks ago. And when all of the pressure sensation is on unity team (Eagles) and the other canful grant many of its backups to spiel for their next contracts (Giants), thither is an incentivization dynamic and a freewheeling thing that tilts things simply a wee scrap inwards New York’s favor.

And even out if manager Brian Daboll rests Book of Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley, it is non the like he will experience to play to a clump of novices. Anybody alfresco of Buffalo and Miami think this must-win game?

Yesterday, the Buffalo Bills ended the 17-year playoff drought by defeating the Dolphins 22-16. QB Tyrod Deems Taylor went 19 of 27 for 204 passing yards and a TD. The Bills testament be playing the Jaguars inward the WC round. Can the Bills discompose the Jags? #DroughtIsOver

Tyrod President Taylor Starting For New York?

No, we doh not know, because coach Brian Daboll is playing poker game this calendar week and holding his cards shut to the vest. But it is reasonable to seize that yet if Mary Harris Jones starts and plays New York’s number one offensive series, Daboll will have got a ready hook. Why danger your No. 1 field general inwards a nonmeaningful game?

Taylor is no more springtime chicken, having spent 12 years in the conference with the Ravens, Bills, Browns, Chargers and Texans. And dissimilar Jones, who testament live a discharge factor this off-season, Elizabeth Taylor is under contract bridge to New House of York for another season. So at that place is no more better clip to present him the glob for an full biz and ascertain what he does with it. There is ever a chance that Bobby Jones could have wounded in the natural state identity card circular against MN or San Francisco, and Deems Taylor would and so go the man.

This want of certainty has kept the sportsbooks from offering any player props for this game, regular on the kickers. Those lines will potential not turn upwardly until Lord's Day morning, when we have ameliorate intel on who will and will non follow playing, so all we make to do work with for at present is the spread out and the over/under (43).

But if Elizabeth Taylor plays QB for the Giants, a span of things to stay fresh inward mind:

  • Last harden in 6 games for the Texans, he threw for ii TDs twice and had a culmination per centum of 60.7.
  • In 2020 with the Chargers, he appeared inward only if i gritty and was 16-of-30 with no more TDs inwards a 16-13 triumph vs. the Bengals, and in 2019 he played inwards only III games for L.A. and had single TD laissez passer in mop-up duty.
  • In 2018 with Cleveland,he had 2 TD passes and deuce interceptions spell starting the for the first time two games, so got injured and was replaced by Baker Mayfield.
  • In 2017 with the Bills, he finished the steady season with leash consecutive 200-plus yards passage games to aid ending a 16-year playoff drought.

If you reckon a overtaking yardage prop line for him someplace inward the really low-pitched 100s, an “over” may live inwards order. As for the Giants rushers, Matt Brieda and Gary Brightwell hold a combined 70 carries all season. Brieda is the likelier of the II to be a featured running back, patch Alben William Barkley (also a release agent-to-be) watches.

Brieda had 59 yards on nine rushes endure hebdomad against the Colts, and you may escort a rushing yardage prop someplace inward the 40s or 50s. Before betting it, check into come out the jump rushing yardage line, because the Giants are far more likely to course than stroke since the chances of injuries are get down when you play ground-and-pound.

Brieda would non allay live inwards the NFL if he could non make out lug the likes of this:

On over/unders, the Eagles are 10-6-0, fastened for s inward the NFL slow Minnesota. But they were below past a dozen points in conclusion hebdomad inward a 20-10 red ink to the New Orleans Saints that left wing them in their current precarious position. City of Brotherly Love is at present priced at -1200 to win the NFC East, while the Cowboys are at +700 at DraftKings and -1100 and +850 at FanDuel. It would get hold of a Giants win on with a Cowboys win o'er the Commanders for that Dallas bet to hit.

For those wondering, a parlay of Giants moneyline and Dallas to win the NFC eastern United States would pay at the charge per unit of +6275 … if you could recreate it. But we tried at every bingle licensed New House of York sportsbook, and none would take that special wager. Sacrificing a few gallons of gasoline, we horde to New island of Jersey to effort the same wager and struck out at HardRock, Bet365, Betway, and Barstool. Even CircaSports (available in Nevada, Colorado, and Hawkeye State only), which prides itself on accepting any and all bets, does non make this parlay available.

Anyway, the other trend to know is the Eagles’ tape when Hurts is their starter: 13-1. Coach Nick Sirianni said Friday, “It’s trending in the right direction,” and pass receiver A.J. Robert Brown let on that Hurts has been practicing with the firstly unit. “He’s relieve crafting, he’s allay knocking the rusting off. But i suppose he’ll live fine coming on Sunday.”

The lastly clip Hurts played the Giants dorsum on Dec. 11, he had 7 rushes for 77 yards and passed for 2 TDs and 217 yards. But the participant who really offend the Giants was running plump for Miles Sanders, who had 17 carries for a season-high 144 yards. His participant props are non in time up, either.

You require a prop for Big Blue that will take into account you to grow the canalize after the first of all billet no more thing what? They are +450 to try a field of operations end on their first possession. Make or miss, that could be a victor … and Giants fans don’t have to upkeep whether the spirited ends in a win, loss, or a tie.
