Las Vegas not buying 9-7 Talk For G-Men
Odell Beckham Jr. and the New York Giants are enjoying their first winning streak of the season, but that’s not enough to sway Las Vegas into thinking they’ll topple one of their division rivals this Sunday.
The New York Giants are listed as +6 underdogs for their Week 12 road visit to Lincoln Financial Field with the Philadelphia Eagles.
New York (3-7) is coming off a 38-35 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last Sunday that saw the G-Men put together their best offensive showing of the season to this point.
Eli Manning tossed two touchdowns on a efficient day at chilly MetLife Field while Saquon Barkley rushed for 142 rushing yards and two touchdowns.
The defense allowed their share of big plays, allowing Tampa Bay back into the game in the fourth quarter, but the Giants four forced turnovers and a stop on a 4th and 1 in the red zone were huge in New York’s first home win of the season.
The Philadelphia Eagles (4-6) are coming off an embarrassing 48-7 shellacking at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome to the red-hot New Orleans Saints.
Doug Pederson’s Eagles were run roughshod over by the Saints offense, which put up 546 total yards and averaged 7.9 yards per play.
The offense wasn’t any better, as Carson Wentz tied a career-high three interceptions and was held without a touchdown in the worst performance of his young career.
These two teams last met in Week 6 of this season when the Philadelphia Eagles pounded the New York Giants 34-13 at MetLife Stadium.
Carson Wentz went for 278 passing yards and three touchdowns and the Philadelphia Eagles defense lived in the opposing backfield for much of the game, offsetting a spectacular performance by rookie running back Saquon Barkley, who went for 229 yards from scrimmage.
