New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles
The Philadelphia Eagles are flying high this season and are again changing how people think about them and their head coach, Chip Kelly. On the flip side of that, the New York Giants are struggling to stay relevant in the NFL as they’re falling back in recent years. This season has been a bit of a bounce back though as they’re 3-2 and looking at a possible 4-2 start with a win on Sunday.
Details for Sunday’s game are below:

Keys to Victory
Nick Foles needs to start scoring points on his own. The Eagles special team has been going nuts these past few weeks with points scored, but it’s left Foles in a position where he’s becoming a game manager more than anything — or in a position to make mistakes. The latter has been more true than anything in the first five weeks and it needs to be corrected.
New York should watch out for not only the Eagles special teams but Philly’s surprisingly stout defensive unit. It’s not hard fro Eli Manning to get derailed by his own mistakes, and keeping on the hot streak he’s experiencing is something that will benefit the Giants.
Betting Odds
Point Spread: Eagles -2.5
Moneyline: Giants +127, Eagles -147
Over/Under: 50.5
Prediction
Philadelphia has established this first year and a half of the Chip Kelly era taht they are for real. This isn’t some fluke that Kelly has stumbled upon, but it’s not the perfect key to success either. The team is flawed and getting Nick Foles a big week on Sunday night is critical. Eli Manning is bouncing back, but the Eagles need this to prove they’re a force in the NFC which means they may not let it slip away.
Final Score: Eagles 38, Giants 24
