The Philadelphia Eagles are 13-3 straight up and against the spread over their last 16 games against the New York Giants. The Eagles will try to pick up a fifth straight win over the Giants this Sunday afternoon at MetLife Stadium

Philadelphia is a 2.5-point road underdog in East Rutherford at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In their last four games against the Giants, the Eagles are a perfect 4-0 SU and ATS.

The Eagles looked like a serious playoff contender out of the gate this season, jumping out to a 3-0 SU and ATS record while outscoring their opponents 92-27. But after an early bye week in Week 4, Philadelphia has gone just 1-3 SU and ATS over its last four games, giving up an average of 26.7 points per game in three road losses over that stretch.

Each of the Eagles’ next four games come against teams with winning records, so there aren’t going to be any easy spots to turn things around.

Historically, the Giants have been a reliable punching bag for the Eagles. Philadelphia is 8-1 SU and ATS in its last nine road games against its division rival per the OddsShark NFL Database.

Betting Line / Total: New York -2.5 / 43 Points

Trend: The Eagles are 13-3 SU and ATS in their last 16 games against the Giants.

Trend: The total has gone OVER in seven of the Eagles’ last eight games on the road.

The Giants also come into this game with a 4-3 SU record, though they have a lot more momentum than their NFC East rivals.

New York started the season off with a 2-3 SU and 0-3-2 ATS record, bogged down by inconsistent play on offense. The team snapped a three-game losing streak with a 27-23 win over Baltimore and then defeated the Los Angeles Rams 17-10 in London in their final game of October. The Giants are 1-4 ATS in their last five games coming off a bye week.

Sunday’s total is set at 43 points. The OVER is 7-1 in Philadelphia’s last eight games on the road.

Six teams in the NFC enter Week 9 with four wins, setting the stage for a dogfight for the two Wild Card spots down the stretch. The winner of this game will put itself in good position for the second half of the season with a 5-3 SU record, while the loser will fall deeper into the pack at 4-4.
