NFL Betting Trends

Philadelphia

The Eagles have failed to cover in four straight at home and in five of their last six conference games.

New York

The Giants have covered the spread in four straight road games, but are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven division games.

Prediction:

The Eagles have been taking their lumps in recent weeks, but they have suffered their losses to potential playoff teams. Philly beat up the Giants in New York, 34-13, and not much has changed since then in terms of personnel. The Giants have won their last two, but they were narrow victories over two of the worst in the NFL. Don’t let the recent trends fool you. Philly is the much better team in this matchup.

NFL Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles -5
