Eagles vs. Giants Free Pick
EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ (The Spread) – Which team will come out on top in tonight’s NFC East battle between the Eagles and Giants?
NFL Odds: Oddsmakers have installed the Giants as a 5.5-point favorite over the Eagles, while the over/under total for this game is currently sitting at 45.5 points. Philadelphia comes into this week with a 3-6 record overall and is 2-2 on the road, while New York is 6-3 overall and 3-1 at home.
Line Movement: The Giants opened as a 3-point favorite at most books and was even listed at –2.5 at the Las Vegas Hilton. But as soon as word spread that Michael Vick played with broken ribs in last week’s loss to the Cardinals and therefore could miss tonight’s game, the line shot all the way up to 4.5. The over/under total has also dropped with the news of Vick’s injuries, falling from 47 down to 45.5.
Public Betting: Of the 9,000-plus wagers on today’s game, 80% of NFL public bettors currently favor the Giants. This information is subject to change leading up to kickoff, however, so make sure you click on the link provided for the most up-to-date NFL public betting numbers.
NFL Week 11 Free Pick: Take New York. The Eagles have played very well in New York recently, covering the spread in their last four trips to East Rutherford. That said, it’s hard to trust Vince Young seeing as how he hasn’t played in over a year. He’s never run Andy Reid’s offense in a regular season game and it’s likely that the playbook will be scaled back, too. The Giants are hungry for a win after last week’s narrow loss to a tough San Francisco team and Eli Manning is perhaps playing the best football of his career, specifically in the fourth quarter. According to latest NFL trends, the eagles are 1-4 against the spread in their last five games versus a team with a winning record and 1-6 ATS in their last seven following an ATS loss. Hopefully the same Eagle team that was on display last Sunday against the Cardinals shows up again tonight.
