Giants vs Eagles Prediction
The current betting odds have the Eagles listed as a 13.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Eagles have looked really good in their games this season with their 10-4 record overall but they haven't looked great in their games lately. Most of their losses this season have come over the last month as they are not playing their best football right now. Meanwhile, the Giants haven't looked good at all this season with their 5-9 record overall but they have looked a lot better in their games lately as they have been getting a spark on offense with DeVito running the show. DeVito and the Giants finally came down to Earth in their last game though as they lost to the Saints in a blowout and now they are in a really tough spot here with it being their 2nd road game in a row. The Eagles haven't looked good lately but they are finally back at home after a road trip and they will be looking to take their frustrations out here against some low hanging fruit and get a much needed bounce back win at home to stay in this NFC East race. This is a get right game for the Eagles to beat up on a bad Giants team. The best way to place a bet here is on the Eagles to cover the spread in this game.
Giants Eagles Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Monday, December 25, 2023 (4:30 pm ET start time) is Eagles 28 Giants 10.
