New York at Philadelphia

The Eagles have sure had some strange games this season. They opened with Jacksonville and fell down 17-0 at the half before running off 34 unanswered points for an easy win. They rallied from a 7-point fourth quarter deficit to beat Indianapolis in week two. Then they came back from a 10-point deficit to Washington in week three, took a 10-point lead, then had to hang on for the win by 3. They blew an 11-point lead in San Francisco in week four, never scoring an offensive TD. Finally last week the Eagles were up 34-7 against St. Louis but 13 minutes later it was 34-28, and they had to hang on for their life. This team is not as good as their record indicates, and here is why. They are 4-1, but have been out-gained by four different opponents by 114 yards or more. LeSean McCoy looks average at best and Nick Foles has come back down to earth after last season. The Giants are coming around now, and Eli Manning has had three straight weeks with a passer rating over 100, and has thrown eight TDs to just one INT in the three games. Sure Rashad Jennings is out this game but in steps Andre Williams who has 131 yards and two touchdowns the past two games. The Giants are the better team at this point of the season. Sure Philadelphia has the gaudy record and the fun offense, but there level of play has been spotty at best. Without a ridiculous seven TDs from their defense and special teams, the Eagles would have had trouble finding the win column this year. They pay for it in this one. Back the G-Men.
