Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants Betting: Eagles playoff hopes to finally end here

Is it too late now for the Philadelphia Eagles, one of the pre-season Super Bowl favourites, to make it to the playoffs after suffering their sixth defeat last weekend. They would have to run the table and win all their remaining games which doesn’t look possible with the way they are playing at the moment.

They likely won’t even win this game on Sunday as the New York Giants are one of the best teams in the NFC right now. They are coming off a loss but they have shown in the last two weeks that they are legit contenders this season.

New York are favourites for the win this Sunday and Unibet offer them at 5/12 in the match odds while a Philadelphia win is 19/10. The point spread for the game has the Giants favoured over the Eagles by 4.5 points at 9/10 with Unibet.

After all the hype in the summer after the free-agent signings, the Eagles season is going to be written off as poor. They are 3-6 and look as if they have blown their shot at making the playoffs. There just seems to be something wrong with this team as they have outstanding talent and a brilliant coach but just can’t seem to get it done.

They are coming off back-to-back losses to the Bears and the Cardinals. It really is hard to understand as the offence is ranked as one of the best in the league and 1st in rushing while the defence is also playing at a high-level. One factor could be that they believed their own hype this season and weren’t focussed on the campaign ahead. The “dream team” thought they would walk into the playoffs after capturing the NFC East but that is not going to happen now. Their opponents on Sunday night are likely to take the division.

The Giants were very impressive when beating the New England Patriots two weeks ago and then they put in another great performance on the road once again against the 49ers last Sunday. Eli Manning has really upped his game this season and has this offence playing at very high-level. They are ranked 5th in the league in passing and are looking like one of the most threatening offences at the moment. The defence is also contributing and they showed this by frustrating Tom Brady two weeks ago and then stopping the 49ers run game last week.

This game on Sunday is a big division rivalry and both sides would love to get one over on each other. The Giants are looking much stronger at the moment and you have to go for them here. They know they can put the Eagles’ season to bed and they would love to do it in front of their own fans at the Meadowlands.

Tip: Back the New York Giants (-4.5) at 9/10 with Unibet
