Philadelphia's offense has been fueled by Jalen Hurts, who has thrown for 1,194 yards with six touchdowns and four interceptions. Hurts' dual-threat ability will challenge the Giants' defense. DeVonta Smith is leading the receiving corps with 303 yards and two scores. Running back Saquon Barkley has rushed for 482 yards and four touchdowns, giving the Eagles a potent ground attack. The offensive line, however, is dealing with key injuries, including Jordan Mailata and Dallas Goedert, both listed as questionable.

Defensively, the Eagles are allowing 21.2 points per game and have been solid in the pass rush. Injuries could affect the secondary, with Darius Slay Jr. also listed as questionable. Despite some lapses, Philadelphia's defense stepped up against Cleveland and will aim to pressure Giants quarterback Daniel Jones, who has struggled with turnovers this season.

New York's offense has been inconsistent, averaging just over 17 points per game. Jones has thrown for 1,343 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions. The absence of running back Devin Singletary due to injury puts additional pressure on the Giants' passing game, with Malik Nabers emerging as the top target, tallying 386 yards and three touchdowns.

Defensively, the Giants have been vulnerable, allowing nearly 23 points per game. With a 0-3 record at home, New York's defense has failed to make critical stops, and without key contributors like Singletary and Andrew Thomas (both questionable), the unit faces a tough test. The pass rush, led by Kayvon Thibodeaux, will need to disrupt Hurts and prevent the Eagles from establishing rhythm.

The Eagles have the edge on both sides of the ball. With Hurts leading a balanced offense and New York struggling defensively, Philadelphia should capitalize on its opportunities. The Giants' lack of a reliable rushing attack also hurts the Giants chances of controlling the pace. Final Score Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles win and cover 27-17.
