ROGERS' 10* NFL DIVISIONAL ROUND SHOCKER! *RED HOT*
(NFL) NY Giants vs. Philadelphia,
Point Spread: 7.50 | -110.00 NY Giants (Away)
Result: Loss
The Giants face the Eagles at home in the divisional series. This should be no contest considering their respective positions in the standings, but I believe it will be a much closer game and here is why.
-Jalen Hurts is playing but in all likelihood is not completely healthy, and I doubt he is capable of going all-in on Saturday. We have seen how the Eagles fare without Hurts, and he did not impress in week 18.
-The Giants are inspired by their situation. Daboll has their attention, and he and they seem to learn from their mistakes this season. A case in point; the Giants lost to the Vikings in week 16. Three weeks later, in the biggest of games, they roll out a win over Minnesota.
-As good as the Eagles are against the pass, they have been susceptible on the ground. The Giants moved the ball in week 18 missing Barkley and Jones. Look for much better results this week.
-It isn't just the Eagles offense that has struggled in recent games. Phillie's offense lacks some of the lustre we saw earlier in the season. While their passer pressure has remained a constant, their passing yards allowed has crept up, along with all other pass categories not related to pressure. The Giants' defense has shown general improvement down the stretch, as has the offense.

I don't expect Jones to pass for 300 yards this week, and I don't really expect the Giants to win outright, but a close game, decided by one score, is very likely. Take the Giants, now a seven+ point underdog, with the points, as the Eagles are out-coached and held in check on Saturday.
