No. 9 Odell Beckham Jr. vs. Philadelphia

Division rivals and that Philadelphia secondary? Give me Beckham. Listen, the comments clearly didn’t go over well with Pat Shurmur, but his performance last weekend, once again in a loss, was his best this season by a mile. I love Beckham in this matchup.

As matchups go, the Giants get the Eagles at the right time, even though Philadelphia is likely going to come out swinging here. After losing Jay Ajayi to an ACL injury, the panic button’s glass has been broken in the city of brotherly love.

Philadelphia is giving up 277 yards/game in the pass game but has given up 300+ in back-to-back weeks and gave up a cool 400 to FItzmagic in Week 2. The Giants are coming off another debilitating loss and things aren’t looking great in New York.

Thursday night, in the division, this one should be far closer than last week’s Patriots-Colts game.

Beckham finished last week’s game against the Panthers with eight catches for 131 yards and a touchdown. It finally seems once again this offense remembers Beckham can stretch the field and is using that to his ability.

Fourteen targets in the game, I expect a similar outing against the Eagles.
