\"Eagles<\/a>
The Philadelphia Eagles are 7-1 ATS in their last eight meetings with the New York Giants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

New York has the advantage of having a few extra days of rest heading into this contest, as it picked up a resounding 36-7 win over the Carolina Panthers as 2.5-point road underdogs in Week 3.\u00a0 The Giants have scored 61 points over their last five quarters of football, while their opponent has scored 13 points in the same period of time entering this NFC East rivalry game.\u00a0 On the defensive side of the ball, it\u2019s all about getting to the quarterback, as the unit has tallied 27 sacks in this series since 2007.\u00a0 New York is 0-2 ATS off a road blowout win by 21 points or more.<\/p>\n

The Giants have gone 9-9 against the Eagles during in regular season meetings under the direction of Tom Coughlin, but did manage to pick up a 29-16 victory on this field as nine-point road underdogs on Sept. 25, 2011.\u00a0 New York did lose the statistical battle by 42 yards in that particular affair.\u00a0 Quarterback Eli Manning is off to a tremendous start this season, as he\u2019s the only player in the NFL with over 1,000 yards through three weeks of the season.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia had its two-game win streak snapped in suffering a 27-6 loss to the Arizona Cardinals last week, while the UNDER has cashed in two of three contests.\u00a0 The Eagles have turned the ball over a league-high 12 times this year, which is actually three more than any other NFL team.\u00a0 \u201cI\u2019m very concerned about the turnovers,\u201d commented Eagles quarterback Michael Vick.\u00a0 Expect head coach Andy Reid to use running back LeSean McCoy in a big way Sunday night, considering he\u2019s averaged 104.0 rushing yards in the last four meetings.\u00a0 Philadelphia is 9-3 ATS versus division opponents the last two-plus seasons, while the \u201cunder\u201d is 9-3 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Eagles defense will be tested on the perimeter with the Giants possessing two of the better receivers in football, which is why cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha must come up big in coverage.\u00a0 Philadelphia has really struggled to protect Vick in the pocket, but the offense has a chance to gain a lot of yards if the offensive line can hold up, considering New York\u2019s 31st in the league in allowing 6.51 yards per play on defense.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Eagles due to their 7-1 ATS mark in the last eight meetings, while the Giants are 5-8 ATS versus NFC East opponents.<\/p>\n
