Game Overview ::

By papy324>>
  • The Giants will be deciding their QB midweek.
  • Saquon Barkley played 59% of the snaps last week.
  • Jalen Hurts is unlikely to throw over 30 times.
  • The Eagles backfield was a timeshare last week.

How new york Will Try To Win ::

The 4-10 Giants come into this game at the tail end of a lost year. Things could not have gone much worse for the G-Men. They fired their inept offensive coordinator midseason, lost Saquon Barkley for six weeks (he may never be the same), have a pack of glass figurines at WR, and placed Daniel Jones on the IR with a mysterious neck injury that wasn’t severe enough to drive him from the game in which he sustained it but was bad enough to end his season. Joe Judge’s team is a mess, and they are going to struggle to win any games down the stretch.

This week, the G-men get an Eagles defense that has been below average against the pass (24th in DVOA), and middling against the run (15th in DVOA). Freddie Kitchens is doing his best to install a new offense on the fly with no consistency at QB, and one of the worst O-lines in football. The Giants are still playing fast (8th in situational neutral pace), which is a slight uptick since Freddie Kitchens took over, but they are running a lot of inefficient plays. The Giants are going to keep trying to figure out what works, with the starting QB situation “to be determined during practice this week,” according to Joe Judge. 

How philadelphia Will Try To Win ::

The 7-7 Eagles come into Week 16 having gone 4-1 in their last five games, with their only loss coming in a poor letdown game against these Giants. The Eagles made a clear decision in Week 6 to change their play style and limit Jalen Hurts pass attempts. Since then, Hurts has never been asked to throw over 35 times, and the Eagles have established a clear identity that is reminiscent of the Ravens during Lamar Jackson’s early years. The Eagles play fast (5th in situational neutral pace), but slow down if they’re ahead (21st in pace). The tendency to come out fast and slow down when leading makes the Eagles a team that can create shootouts when their opponent keeps up, but they are unlikely to reach a ceiling game in contests they easily control. The G-men have a defense that is terrible on the ground (28th in DVOA), and middling against the pass (13th in DVOA), which plays into the hands of how the Eagles want to attack. They are highly likely to play in their preferred method of using an up-tempo run game where their QB functions as a hybrid RB that can throw off play fakes. The Eagles style is particularly effective against teams that struggle to stop the run, and they are set up well to have success in this matchup. Expect the Eagles to play their usual style, before slowing way down in the second half with a multiple touchdown lead.

Likeliest Game Flow :: 

This game has a low total of 40.5 because the G-men are sporting an ugly 15.25 team total. That makes sense since they have scored a pathetic 10/13/9/21/6 points in their last five games. The Giants are unlikely to keep up, and that drags down the entire game environment. That most likely game flow is the Eagles come out running their up-tempo offense right down the Giants throat, before pumping the breaks and sucking the life out of the game in the second half. The Giants did manage to win the last meeting but that was at home with Daniel Jones still playing, in a game where the Eagles were flat.
