The Sunday night NFL late game this week will feature the Philadelphia Eagles (3-6) going on the road to take on the New York Giants (6-3).
Kickoff is set for 8:20 PM ET and the Eagles will be attempting to chip away at New York’s NFC East lead.
The Giants are currently a 5-point favorite with a total of 45.5 after the opening odds had New York at -3 with a total of 47.
Close to 70% of tracked NFL bettors are putting their money on the Giants to cover this point spread.
The Giants and the Eagles meet up at least twice every year, and New York was a 29-16 winner on the road as 9-point underdogs earlier this season.
The Eagles had won 6 straight head-to-head meetings before that defeat, and Philadelphia covered the point spread in every single game.
The over has been a winner in 3 of the last 5, and the Eagles won 38-31 as 3-point underdogs in the last game between these teams in New York.
Although the consensus of tracked bettors has helped move the odds a bit, injuries have also taken their toll on the point spread.
Philadelphia quarterback Michael Vick (ribs) and wide receiver Jeremy Maclin (hamstring) have both been ruled out for this one, while wide receiver DeSean Jackson (disciplinary) is listed as questionable.
The Giants will be without running back Ahmad Bradshaw (foot), but they have most of their key players ready to go.
New York wide receiver Mario Manningham (knee) is currently listed as questionable.
Philadelphia has covered the point spread in just 2 of their last 8 games this season while going under the total in 3 of 4.
New York has just one cover of the point spread over their last 5 games and has gone under in 2 of 3.
