In a highly anticipated divisional matchup, the New York Giants will take on the Philadelphia Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. Both teams have extra motivation to secure a victory as they face off against their divisional rivals. The game is scheduled to kick off on Monday at 4:30 PM ET.

The Giants enter this game with an extra day of rest, which could give them an advantage in terms of preparation and recovery. However, their season has been disappointing, as they have struggled to meet their preseason expectations, currently holding a 5-9 record. On the other hand, the Eagles have had a solid season so far, boasting a 10-4 record.

The Eagles come into this game on the back of three consecutive losses, making this matchup crucial for them to regain their momentum. Meanwhile, the Giants have lost their previous game against the New Orleans Saints, with a final score of 24-6.

The last time these two teams met was in the 2023 playoffs, making this game even more significant and serving as a revenge opportunity for the Giants. However, the Eagles dominated that game, securing a convincing 38-7 victory. The Eagles have historically performed well against the Giants, particularly when playing at home.

The oddsmakers have heavily favored the Eagles in this matchup, giving them an 87% chance of winning, while the Giants have a 13% chance. The opening spread was Eagles -10.5, but it has since moved to Eagles -14, indicating strong support for the Eagles among sharp bettors.

As the Eagles aim to bounce back from their recent losses, the Giants will look to defy the odds and deliver an upset victory. With the divisional rivalry and revenge factor at play, this Monday night clash promises to be an intriguing battle between two NFC East foes.
