Point Spread: 3.00 | 102.00 NY Giants (Home)
Result: Loss
The set-up: The Giants lost 33-31 last week on a last second 61 FG by Graham Gano in Carolina last weekend. I'm expecting New York to bounce back here and take out its frustrations on a clearly struggling Eagles team. New York is only 1-4, but the Eagles are just 2-3 and they also come in with more questions than answers. An outright win? Of course it's not out of the question. In the end though, I'm grabbing the points.
The teams: New York is still only 1.5 games behind Washington which sits at 2-2, so it's still very much in the race in the NFC "L"East. Philadelphia is 29th in the NFL with 395 penalty yards and its turnover margin is a horrible minus-four. The Eagles red zone offense is just 38.5 percent in three games since Carson Wentz returned: "I'm concerned," lamented Eagles tight end Zach Ertz after Sunday's contest. "It's not where we thought we would be."
The pick: To add insult to injury, Philadelphia RBY Jay Ajayi, the one standout each week, tore his ACL on Sunday. Take it for what you will as well, but Philadelphia is just 7-11 ATS in its last 18 on the road and just 5-7 ATS in its last 12 against the division. The defending champs are ripe for the picking (but grab the points!)
