Or, will New York add another loss to the Eagles’ record? Check out analysis, odds, and a free pick for NFL Week 6 Thursday Night Football betting!
Eagles quarterbacks average 253 yards, meaning Philly's deficiency plays into a Giants’ strength. Where the Eagles might have an advantage is on the ground, where a committee of running backs has averaged 110.8 yards per game. They've lost Jay Ajayi for the year, but the Giants are excessively vulnerable on the ground. The edge here goes to Philadelphia, but it's only by a tight margin.
Edge: Eagles
Giants Offense vs Eagles Defense New York rallied against the Carolina Panthers in Week 4 to only lose by 2 points, 31-33. Although the offensive rally was impressive, it doesn’t mean that the Giants will have success against Philadelphia as dogs in Week 6 Thursday Night Football betting.
The Eagles hold opponents to 66.4 yards on the ground and 20.8 points on the scoreboard. Philadelphia should play a Cover 2 all game because the Giants have a terrible rushing attack, despite the presence of Rookie of the Year favorite, Saquon Barkley. That gives the edge to the Eagles’ defense.

If the trends favoring the Eagles weren’t enough, Philadelphia’s got their backs to the wall while the Giants rally in Week 4 was less impressive given a second look. They scored on some big, desperate plays and there just isn't enough consistency from them to warrant support on the betting line. The Eagles should win and cover.
