It’s a battle for fist place in the NFC East as the Philadelphia Eagles host the new York Giants in prime time on Sunday Night Football.
The Eagles are sky high after coming off of a beat down of the Washington Redskins in Washington on Monday Night Football where Andy Reid’s team made a statement to the NFC and the world that they were for real and were a contender to win it all. Michael Vick is back to the old player we new before all of the drama and as ugly as his off the field issues have been, his play on the field has been nothing short of spectacular. Vick has completed 62.7 percent of his passes for 1,350 yards for 11 touchdowns without throwing an interception while at teh same time running for 341 yards and four touchdowns. LeSean McCoy has been the workhorse in the backfield rushing for 615 yards and five touchdowns and catching 46 passes for 352 yards. DeSean Jackson has emerged as one of the best deep threats in the game averaging 21.5 yards per catch and scoring five times and Jeremy Maclin somehow flies under the radar as Philadelphia’s leading receiver with 38 catches and seven touchdowns. Defensively it’s been physical Eagles football with Quinten Mikell leading in tackles with 51 while Trent Cole has 43 tackles and seven sacks. Juqua Parker has five sacks and as a team Philadelphia is bringing the heat with 26 sacks. Asante Samuel has five interceptions and Dimitri Patterson and Nate Allen have three interceptions each and as a team the Eagles have 16. As a team Philadelphia has been averaging 28.6 points and 400.2 yards while defensively they allow 23.2 points and 324.2 yards.
The New York Giants looked to be cruising along and many were calling the the best team in the NFL until last Sunday when their five game winning streak came to a screeching halt at the hands of the Dallas Cowboys. While the Cowboys were breaking off the big plays, the Giants were very much in it but just when it looked like they were ready to claw their way back in it, it was big mistakes and big break downs leading to long Dallas scoring plays. While it was Eli Manning’s poor decision and interception that went for 101 yards in the wrong direction, he is having a solid year. For the season Manning has completed 66.1 percent of his passes for 2,448 yards with 19 touchdowns and 13 interceptions while getting sacked 12 times. Ahmad Bradshaw has rushed for 838 yards and five touchdowns but he’s also fumbled in some key spots as has Brandon Jacobs who has five touchdowns and 377 yards. Hakeem Nicks is Manning’s main target and more than likely a Pro Bowl receiver as he has 735 yards and nine touchdowns on 56 catches but with Steve Smith out until December, New York has a void to fill. Defensively Antrell Rolle, Michael Boley, and Terrell Thomas are all tied for the lead in team tackles with 49 and Osi Umenyiora has nine of the Giants 25 sacks. Thomas and Deon Grant are tied for the Giants team lead in interceptions with three. For the season New York is averaging 26.2 points and 409.8 yards while the defense is allowing 21.4 points and 270.2 yards.
Philadelphia is 2-5 against the spread in their last seven games as a home favorite, 1-5 against the spread in their last six games against a team with a winning record, and 5-1-1 against the spread in their last seven Sunday games following a Monday Night game. new York is 21-7 against the spread in their last 28 road games, 12-4 against the spread in their last 16 games as a road underdog, and 3-7-1 against the spread in their last 11 games following a straight up loss. The underdog has covered in 10 of the last 11 meetings of these two and the road team has covered in five of the last six.
This game winds down what should be a great day of football with a lot of meaningful games and this one will be a bruise fest as these teams don’t like each other at all and the Philadelphia sports crowd is as tough as they come. While both of these teams can put up numbers, these teams can bring the heat as well and with Steve Smith out for the Giants I think they may play a little more keep away with Bradshaw and Jacobs while at the same time trying to keep Vick and friends off the field. Philly’s secondary is second to none so this strategy makes a lot of sense. With that being said, the total is rising in this game on this as I write this and it’s currently at 49. For my free play I think tis game goes under the total as it’s falsely inflated by what everyone in the world saw on Monday Night which was Eagles flying down the field. I also have a play as to who will cover the spread and I’ll post that play in the Premium Area for our Premium Subscribers.
