Will the NY Giants win their first game before Thanksgiving?
Week 12 – NY Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles
Eagles team offense ranking: No. 25
Eagles team defense ranking: No. 7
Analysis:
It’s fair to wonder what the NY Giants will look like, and who will be calling the shots, if New York is winless entering Thanksgiving weekend.
Alas, the Philadelphia Eagles seem to be facing many of the same identity questions as the NY Giants, through September.
In a Week 3 loss, inexplicably, star running back Miles Sanders only carried the ball twice against the Dallas Cowboys. Jalen Hurts’ audition as the Eagles’ starting quarterback of the future has gotten off to an inauspicious start. And, worst of all, Philadelphia has lost two of its most dominant players along the line of scrimmage — Brandon Graham and Brandon Brooks to injuries.
The NY Giants have the better quarterback, and will be at home for this game.
This might be the NY Giants’ best chance at a win, and could very well be the next time New York is favored.
Prediction: WIN
