Giants vs. Eagles Free Pick
(The Spread) – NFC East rivals clash in Philadelphia today when the Eagles host the Giants at 1:00PM ET.
NFL Odds: Despite their loss to the Falcons last Sunday night, oddsmakers have installed the Eagles as 9-point favorites versus the Giants on Sunday. While he’s officially listed as questionable, Michael Vick should play after suffering a slight concussion last week.
Line Movement: The Eagles are currently 7.5-point favorites at the Las Vegas Hilton and 9-point favorites at most online books. Outside of that, bookmakers have been afraid to release the line because of Vick’s injury status, so there hasn’t been much movement on this game either way. The over/under total is currently sitting at 48.5 points at some books.
Public Betting: Of the 1,000-plus wagers on today’s game, 60% of NFL public bettors currently favor the Eagles -9. This information is subject to change leading up to kickoff, however, so make sure you click on the link provided for the most up-to-date NFL public betting numbers.
NFL Week 3 Free Pick: Take New York. Nine points is way too high for a divisional matchup like this. According to latest NFL trends, the road team is 9-3 against the spread in the last 12 meetings between these two teams, while the underdog is 11-2 against the number in the last 13 meetings. Whether Vick plays or not, the Eagles’ offensive line is a major work in progress and while Eli Manning has struggled the first two weeks, the Giants will likely run the ball anyway. Where Philadelphia can be had is in its linebacker corps, so expect to see plenty of Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs in this game as the Giants try to play keep-away.
