#259 ASA PLAY ON 8* Philadelphia -4 over NY Giants, Sunday at 1:00 PM ET - This is just a terrible spot for the Giants. This will be their 10th consecutive week with out a bye and they are facing a Philly team that is getting healthy and coming off their bye week. Last week the Giants topped Washington 23-20 in what we call a false final score. Washington outgained the Giants 402 to 350 despite running 24 fewer offensive snaps. The YPP final tally was Washington 8.0 and NYG 4.7. That’s a Washington offense that ranks right near the bottom of the NFL in YPP offense averaging just 4.9. Washington had a ridiculous 5 turnovers and the Giants still barely won the game. Just 2 weeks ago the NYG defense held Washington to 4.9 YPP in their 20-19 win. To put that in perspective, Washington’s highest YPP total before last week was 6.0 and that was vs a terrible Dallas defense. It looks to us like the Giants are running out of gas on defense which is understandable having played 10 consecutive weeks. The Eagles are the most talented team in this crappy division. They lead the NFC East with a 3-4-1 record despite the fact they’ve been one of the most injured teams in the NFL this season. They are now starting to get healthy after the bye week with starting LT Johnson, starting WR Jeffery, and starting RB Sanders all coming back. These 2 faced off a few weeks ago and the Eagles came out with a tight 22-21 win. Philly outgained the Giants 442 to 325 in that game but blew a number of opportunities missing a FG, throwing a pick at the NY endzone, and they were also shut out on downs at the NY 3 yard line. Now the Eagles are healthier and rested and we think they get this win by at least a TD. Philly has won 8 straight in this series and the Giants have not stepped up at home vs better teams with a 2-12 ATS mark their last 14 as a home dog. Eagles take care of the weary Giants
