The 11-2 Philadelphia Eagles will play their third straight road game on Sunday when they take on the New York Giants. Of course, with Carson Wentz done for the season, the Birds will once again be led by Nick Foles.
As we noted in our five matchups to watch, the Giants are bad on offense, defense, and special teams, so whether Nick Foles, or Matt Barkley, or Mike McMahon were quarterbacking the Eagles, they'd still be favored.
In addition to being a bad football team, the Giants are also extraordinarily banged up. Like the Eagles, the Giants have lost a slew of players to injured reserve, though none as important as Wentz. You find the final injury report with analysis here.
The Eagles are 7.5-point road favorites at most sportsbooks, a number that I believe is low. You can find a roundup of local, national, and New York-based picks for this game here.
