The middle of three Christmas Day games features a Philadelphia Eagles team desperate for any ‘get right’ opportunity. The New York Giants are hoping to avoid serving that game up on a platter as they hit a 13.5-point dog. The Giants don’t match up well with the Eagles despite the Birds dropping three straight games. The shine seems to be wearing off on both QBs, albeit different levels in both Jalen Hurts and Tommy DeVito. Here is the best SGP for the Giants-Eagles game!
Giants-Eagles NFL Same-Game Parlay Picks | Christmas Day
Philadelphia Eagles -13.5
The Eagles have been rather volatile from a win-loss standpoint, but their DNA hasn’t changed. They turnover the ball, commit bad penalties, get torched on deep throws, and struggle to generate a rush. Outside of that, they are fine. This is exactly the type of team the Eagles would beat no matter how bad it got earlier in the year, and now are extra motivated to break out of this funk.
This sits just below the fourth biggest key number at 14 where the Eagles are more than capable of beating New York by two TDs. If you like trends, then look no further than Super Bowl losers being 9-1 SU and 7-3 ATS coming off three straight losses – 3-0 SUATS at home winning games by 14.
The Giants aren’t going to change who they are because they face a weak defense. DeVito knows nothing more than big runs to move the chains, relying on Saquon Barkley to break a big one of his own. Lay anything less than 14 with Philly.
Jalen Hurts 2+ TDs (NFL Player Prop)
There’s simply no more value in betting Hurts to only score once, since he’s basically cornered all goal line carries. Perhaps nobody on the field needs to bounce back from a poor stretch of play like Hurts, who also appears much healthier with a previous knee injury. The Tush Push is so live in every game and every goal line carry that the 2+ TD play is basically a must play at anything over +250.
The Giants are terrible at stopping the run and get worse inside the red zone. This is who they are heading into the 16th week of the season, it’s difficult to see a pathway where they suddenly slow down a mobile QB. Hurts has big play potential on the ground and built-in carries from four yards or in, he’s essentially guaranteed at least one score. Take him to hit two.
Tommy DeVito O/U 182.5 ing Yards (NFL Player Prop)
There is only one scenario where Tommy DeVito even sniffs this line and that’s if the Giants are down big in the second half. Even then, DeVito needs to complete es under a sure-fire rush. If DeVito were talented enough to take on rushes remotely close to the Eagles, then the Giants would already be a vertical threat. The only vertical threat comes from either QB or RB breaking a big run.
It’s unfortunate for the Giants because the Eagles defense is highly beatable even with this group of receivers. Philadelphia lives and dies off the rush, so if there’s nothing generated, the Giants could take their time to complete some es. They won’t. It’s just not in the DeVito playbook. There also wont be enough time for DeVito to dink and dunk his way to even 183 ing yards. Keep it under here.
