Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Giants Prediction: An easy match for the Eagle

On Saturday, the Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants will compete against each other in the NFC Divisional Round at Lincoln Financial Field. This game will be a showcase for rivalry football at its finest and will take place in the City of Brotherly Love. After defeating the G-men by a score of 22-16, Philadelphia was awarded the top seed in their conference. New York was able to proceed to this level of the competition by claiming a 31-24 victory over the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild Card Round.

Since the 2017 season, the Philadelphia Eagles have been striving to qualify for the NFC Championship Game for the first time. Jalen Hurts has a completion percentage of 66.5 percent, which results in 3,701 yards, 22 touchdowns, and six interceptions from his passing. Dallas Goedert has made 55 receptions, while A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith have combined for 2,692 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns. The rushing attack of the Philadelphia Eagles is good for 147.6 yards per game on average, and Miles Sanders is the team's leading rusher with 1,269 yards and 11 touchdowns. On defense, Philadelphia gives up 20.2 points per game and 301.5 yards per contest on average. T.J. Edwards has the most tackles, Haason Reddick has the most sacks, 16, and C.J. Gardner-Johnson has the most interceptions, 6, for the Philadelphia Eagles.

The New York Giants haven't played in the NFC Championship Game since the 2011 season, and they hope to get back there this year. Daniel Jones has a completion percentage of 68.6 percent and has thrown for 301 yards, scoring two touchdowns without throwing any interceptions. Saquon Barkley has been responsible for five receptions, while Isaiah Hodgins and Darius Slayton have been responsible for a combined 193 receiving yards and one touchdown. The running game of the New York Giants is currently averaging 149.4 yards per game, and Jones is leading the way with a total of 78 yards gained on only 17 runs. New York's defense is letting in 24 points and 332 yards per game, which is not good. Xavier McKinney has the most tackles, eight, for the New York Giants, while Darnay Holmes has the most tackles for loss, two, and Leonard Williams has the most pass breakups, one.

The Philadelphia Eagles are the clear favorites given that they are playing at home and have had an extra week to prepare. The Giants aren't the most talented team in the league, but they're well-coached and do enough of the little things right to keep things interesting. It's also worth noting that these two clubs are familiar with one another from playing in the same division and that their previous meeting, just a few weeks ago, was a close one. The margin of victory has been 10 points or less in six of the last nine matchups between the Eagles and the Giants. I think the Eagles will win, but it will be close.
