How to Watch Eagles vs Giants
- Date: Thursday, October 9th
- Time: 6:15 p.m. CST
- Broadcast: Prime Video
- Stadium: MetLife Stadium
The current champions, the Philadelphia Eagles, started the season with a perfect record until last week, when they lost against the Denver Broncos 17-21. In week 1, they beat the Cowboys 24-20, then the Chiefs 20-17 in a very modest presentation. In Week 3, they won against the Los Angeles Rams 26-33, and finally, in Week 4, they achieved a perfect 4-0 record with a victory over the Buccaneers 31-25.
However, it was against the Denver Broncos that their vulnerabilities were exposed in a game that seemed to be dominated until the fourth quarter, when they blew a 17-3 lead and ultimately lost 17-21.
The Giants, on the other hand, started the season with the veteran quarterback Russell Wilson, but replaced him with the rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart after Week 3, who managed a victory (their only one so far) in his debut against the Chargers in a significant upset, 21-18, with a touchdown on 10 carries and rushing for 54 yards. This victory not only provided a dream debut for Dart but also broke a 23-year record, as no quarterback had started winning his first NFL game against a team that was 3-0 or better.
Eagles vs Giants Rivalry Flashback
Their last encounter dated back to Week 18 of the 2024 season, when, on January 5, 2025, the Eagles beat the Giants 20-13 at Lincoln Financial Field, securing first place in the NFC East for Philadelphia as they culminated their successful path, ultimately lifting the Lombardi Trophy just a few weeks later.
The intense rivalry between the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles has been contested 185 times, including five playoff games. Throughout their long history, the Philadelphia Eagles have claimed the series lead with 95 victories, surpassing the New York Giants’ 88 wins. The teams have also recorded two ties.
Eagles vs Giants Score Prediction
Both fans and critics are expecting a revamp of the Philadelphia Eagles, or at least a wakeup call for Jalen Hurts, now that they are facing a team that just lost against the New Orleans Saints with five turnovers.
Additionally, the Eagles are likely to be more advocates of the rushing game, with one of the best running backs in the league, Saquon Barkley, facing his former team, the New York Giants. Our prediction at PayPerHead is Eagles 35-19 Giants.
