Overview
- The New York Giants are short favorites by about 3 points for the Week 9 game against the Eagles, with FanDuel listing the Giants around -162 on the moneyline and the spread near -3 to -3.5.
- Joe Milton III will make his first career NFL start for Philadelphia after Jalen Hurts was ruled out and several top receivers were limited by injury.
- The game kicks off at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field and will be broadcast nationally on FOX with streaming options available.
- Pre-game analytics underline a mismatch: the Eagles rank near the bottom in scoring and total offense while the Giants have scored 27+ points in four straight games and force the league’s highest rate of three-and-outs.
- Beat writers and staff picks favor New York given its bye-week rest, offensive momentum under J.J. McCarthy, and Philadelphia’s injury-driven uncertainty, which could shorten the Eagles’ possessions and limit scoring opportunities.
