Betting 2024 New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles Week 18 Game

The Philadelphia Eagles have no reason to play Saquon Barkley on Sunday.

But the Eagles will hand the ball off to their talented back in Saquon’s quest to break Eric Dickerson’s single season rushing record.

Because the Eagles are dead set on helping Barkley get the record, Philly is a -3 favorite over the rival Giants even though the Eagles are going to rest many of their starters, including possibly both Devonta Smith and A.J. Brown.

Can Drew Lock and the G-Men pull off the upset in the final regular season game of the season? Or will the Eagles score a cover win before heading to the playoffs? (Get your NFL playoff history of teams post-playoffs)

Writer’s Pick for the Giants vs Eagles Game Starting Sunday’s Round of Action

Why Bet NYG versus Philadelphia

The first reason is obvious.

Even though the Eagles will play Barkley so he can break Dickerson’s record, Philly is likely to rest many of their key starters, including key starters on defense.

Yes, the Giants aren’t a good team.

But Drew Lock and Malik Nabers went crazy in the impressive 45-33 win over the Colts in NFL Week 17.

Lock threw for 309 yards and 4 TDs.

Nabers caught 7 passes for 171 yards and 2 touchdowns.

Philadelphia will try to win this game but the second string starters on defense have no shot of stopping Malik.

Even the first string starters will struggle against Malik and Vic Fangio, Philly’s D coordinator, can’t take the chance of getting a starting corner or safety hurt knowing Jared Goff, Sam Darnold, or Baker Mayfield looms in next Sunday.

Why Bet Philadelphia Versus NYG

The Eagles will play their starting offensive line so Barkley has the best chance of breaking the record.

Saquon faces a horrible rush defense.

So Barkley should have his way.

Not only that but Tanner McKee played well throwing 2 TD passes versus the Cowboys.

Sure, he only threw 4 passes but he completed half of them for touchdowns.

McKee could have a great game versus a Giants’ D that has been awful all NFL season.

The Philadelphia defense may not play their starters but Fangio’s schemes could be good enough to keep the Giants from scoring enough to win or cover.

Fangio is a master at containing an opponent’s best skill player.

So we shouldn’t write off the Eagles.

New York Giants at Philadelphia Eagles Betting Predictions

Lock looked great but that was versus the Indianapolis Colts.

The Colts had a lot at stake against the Giants but failed to get it done.

Lock won’t have the same success against the Philadelphia Eagles even if the Eagles don’t play their best.

We should expect Lock to bounce in this one.

He’ll go to the Malik well a lot but Fangio’s D will manage to pressure the journeyman quarterback.

On the other side, Barkley’s presence makes the Giants’ defense vulnerable.

McKee will find ways to get the ball to Barkley or Jahan Dotson if Smith and Brown take a seat.

There’s a good chance both Smith and Brown play for at least a half because the Eagles are light at wide receiver unless they bring up a player from the taxi squad before the game.

In any case, the Eagles win and cover.

The Giants had their moment in the sun in NFL Week 17.

The G-Men figure to fold in this so they get the best chance of scoring a top NFL Draft Pick in April.

The tank is in.

Back Philly at -3 in an under game.

NFL Week 18 ATS Pick: Philadelphia Eagles -3
NFL Week 18 Over/Under Pick: Under 38.5
