The Eagles have won three of the last four games against the Giants. The Eagles swept the Giants in the 2014 season.
Both teams use a running back by committee approach and ask a lot of their running backs in the passing game. Darren Sproles and Shane Vereen are possibly the two best pass catching running backs in the NFL.
The Giants are leading the race for the NFC East crown with a record of 3-2. A win would give them a firm grasp on the division, though there would be a lot of football left to play. A loss would give both teams matching records and would make for a much more clumped together division.
The Giants Will Be Without Prince Amukamara in this contest and he could miss 4-6 weeks.
