New York Giants – Philadelphia Eagles: Initial situation
The New York Giants have a tough season so far but everything can change in the right direction if they beat the division rival. However, the Philadelphia Eagles are picking up their form and are going North with only one option.
New York Giants Stats & Form
The New York Giants are going into Week 7 hoping to get their first home victory as they are 3-0 at MetLife Stadium. Therefore, they are stuck at the bottom of the NFC East with a 2-4 record. It seemed like the Giants are picking up their game after a road win in Seattle, but just when their fans thought the team was going in the right direction, they played their worst game of the season. Last week, the Giants lost 17-7 at home against another struggling team, the Cincinnati Bengals. Rookie Tyrone Tracy ran for a one-yard touchdown for the Giants, who scored their only points in the third quarter. Quarterback Daniel Jones went 22 of 41 for 205 yards, and he also led the Giants with 56 yards rushing on 11 carries.
Philadelphia Eagles Stats & Form
It is clear by now that the Philadelphia Eagles are not even close to the level we expected them to be following a couple of promising seasons. They have yet to win consecutive games this season and are second in the NFC East with a 3-2 record. The Eagles are coming off a 20-16 win over the Cleveland Browns in the last week. Jalen Hurts threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns, including a go-ahead 45-yard pass to DeVonta Smith in the fourth quarter which was the crucial moment in that game. The Eagles then regained possession with just under four minutes left in the game and did not give the Browns another chance.
New York Giants – Philadelphia Eagles: Head to Head

Betting tip and prediction: New York Giants – Philadelphia Eagles (20.10.2024)
Watching the NFC East rivals go against each other makes this a special night at MetLife Stadium. Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley, who was drafted second overall at the 2018 NFL draft by the Giants, makes his return to the place where he spent his first six seasons in the league. Barkley has 574 yards from scrimmage with five touchdowns in five games this season for the 3-2 Eagles. That is not a record the team from Philadelphia can be happy with, but they should be satisfied with the improvement they have made with the passing defense. Last season, they finished 31st in the league in passing defense with 252.7 yards per game and have improved to 21st through five games this season with 218.4 per game. The Giants are struggling offensively, averaging only 16 points per game, the lowest in the NFC, which is the main reason for winning only two of six games so far in the season. The Giants go into the game against the Eagles with a league-leading 26 sacks, just eight fewer than they recorded in the entire 2023 season. It’s their highest total through six games since 1985. Two-time Pro Bowler Dexter Lawrence leads the way with seven sacks. Three other Giants’ players have three sacks apiece and 11 Giants have at least one. New York sacked Joe Burrow four times in a 17-7 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last week, including two by linebacker Azeez Ojulari. It was the fifth consecutive game the Giants’ defense allowed 21 or fewer points, but also the fifth time this season that their offense scored 21 or fewer points. New York’s QB Daniel Jones will be facing an Eagles’ defense with two rookie starters in the secondary in first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell and second-rounder Cooper DeJean. They were targeted a combined eight times in last weekend’s 20-16 home win against Cleveland and allowed just three completions for 23 yards and no first downs. Both teams are struggling with injuries. Three Eagles starters missed practice this week: tight end Dallas Goedert, left tackle Jordan Mailata, and defensive tackle Milton Williams. Mailata is expected to miss multiple weeks. They also confirmed that left tackle Andrew Thomas is out for the season. That is just too much of a drama for the Giants, and the Eagles will use the given opportunity and win this one on the road.
