LSHMEAB Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 I've badly lost two straight primetime games, so as I'm gonna take the Eagles, I suggest you do the opposite. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, Elliot Harrison of NFL.com agrees with you: THURSDAY, OCT. 11 Philadelphia Eagles 23, New York Giants 20 8:20 p.m. ET (FOX/NFL Network/Prime Video) | MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, N.J.) The Giants have lost a game on a 60-plus-yard field goal two years running now. Jake Elliott nailed a 61-yarder last year to best Big Blue in Philadelphia, contributing to a rotten start that devolved into a rotten season. New York once again has faltered out of the gate, starting the season at 1-4. (Heyyyyy, better than last year!) In order to rebound, Eli Manning should take more of the vertical shots that Odell Beckham has been wistfully dreaming about. ... Eagles corners Jalen Mills and Sidney Jones have struggled mightily thus far. Look no further than Adam Thielen's highlight reel last week. For Philadelphia, winning starts with running the football consistently. Make third downs manageable; that area has been a veritable black hole for this team (13 for 38 over the last three games). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how closely you follow betting, but the Giants are definitely the "sharp" side in this game. I'm gonna go against that because I still have confidence in Pederson and that team. Usually trust the numbers and not my opinion, but then again I'm not betting 5K. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Clement seems to be doing pretty well. Not sure why the Eagles would want to pony up a lot of draft capital for Shady or Le'Veon Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChronicAndKnuckles Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Eli Manning is finished. This guy gets more excuses than Tyrod did. Missing wide open receivers, rushing throws, and just looking extremely uncomfortable. If any of the Quarterbacks drafted in 2018 after Baker Mayfield end up being great then the Giants front office has a lot to answer for. As explosive as Barkley is I don't think they should've drafted a RB number 2 overall. I'm not a fan of any RB really going that high. McAdoo would've done the right thing benching Eli last year if it was for anybody other than Geno Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
