The New York Giants (3-13) will visit the Philadelphia Eagles (13-3) on Sunday afternoon at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Opening the week, the Giants were listed as 3.5-point road underdogs but that spread has softened slightly with the Eagles now at -3 as of this writing.
Let’s take a look at who some of the experts and insiders around the league are taking in the Week 18 matchup:
Expert | Pick | Score (if applicable) |
Dan Graziano (ESPN) | Eagles | N/A |
Matt Bowen (ESPN) | Eagles | N/A |
Seth Wickersham (ESPN) | Eagles | N/A |
Pete Prisco (CBS) | Eagles | 23-16 |
John Breech (CBS) | Giants | 27-23 |
Jordan Dajani (CBS) | Eagles | 24-14 |
Nate Davis (USA TODAY) | Giants | 20-16 |
Lorenzo Reyes (USA TODAY) | Eagles | 25-10 |
Bill Bender (Sporting News) | Eagles | 28-17 |
Vinnie Iyer (Sporting News) | Eagles | 24-16 |
Even with the Eagles likely to rest most (if not all) of their starters, the above panel heavily favors Philly this coming Sunday. The score predictions are all over the map with some anticipating a closer game and others expecting the Giants to be blown out by the Eagles’ reserves.
Other experts and analysts from around the league are similarly pessimistic when it comes to the Giants with just 21 percent predicting an upset, per NFL Pickwatch.
Fans are even more bullish on the Eagles with a whopping 93 percent picking them to win.
