02 / THE GAME STORY

Fresh legs meet a Philadelphia slide

New York won 27-21 against Houston before the bye and sits 4-2-1. Philadelphia has fallen to 2-6 after a 27-10 loss at Washington. The Eagles’ last three opponents have scored 25, 38 and 27, leaving little margin for an attack averaging 17.1.

That form favours the Giants’ story, but both quarterbacks remain outside the model’s supported replacement basis. Philadelphia also has Barkley, Smith and Wicks missing Wednesday practice; New York has concerns around Skattebo and both starting tackles. The preview can describe the matchup without pretending those absences are priced. Both market ratings are withheld.
