Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Giants Prediction & Picks - NFL

Prediction published on 10/9/25, 4:57 PM  by Erik Gibbs in NFL Picks

The Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants renew their heated NFC East rivalry on Thursday night in what promises to be a critical matchup for both sides. This will be the first meeting between the two teams this season, following an Eagles sweep in 2024 that saw them win both home and away. The Eagles enter this week coming off a disappointing 21-17 home loss to the Denver Broncos as 4.5-point favorites, while the Giants fell flat on the road, dropping a 26-14 decision to the New Orleans Saints as 2.5-point underdogs.

Philadelphia has still won four of its last five regular-season games, continuing to establish itself as one of the top teams in the NFC East despite recent inconsistency. The Eagles’ offense has shown flashes of potential, though their ground game remains somewhat stagnant, averaging just 99.8 rushing yards per contest. Saquon Barkley has been the team’s most reliable offensive weapon, rushing for 267 yards and three touchdowns so far. However, quarterback play and third-down efficiency have been nagging issues, particularly against elite defenses.

The New York Giants, meanwhile, are still deep in rebuilding mode. The team had a glimmer of hope in Week 4 when rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart led them to their first win of the season against the Los Angeles Chargers at home. That momentum was short-lived, as the Giants stumbled the following week in a lackluster 26-14 loss to the Saints. Their offensive woes continue to haunt them, with the team scoring 14 or fewer points in three of their five games this year. Despite showing some signs of life in the running game—averaging 117 yards per contest behind Cam Skattebo’s 240 yards and two touchdowns—the Giants’ passing attack remains one of the weakest in the league.
