The Philadelphia Eagles snapped a two-game losing streak by beating the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Can the Birds get another winning streak going?<\/p>\n
Despite that 17-point loss, the Eagles are currently seven-point home favorites in Week 8. This much according to FanDuel\u2019s NFL odds.<\/p>\n
It looked like the Giants were going to enter next Sunday\u2019s 1:00 PM start with a 3-4 record after winning two straight and three of Jaxson Dart\u2019s four starts. But New York allowed 33 (!) fourth quarter points to ultimately blow a 19-point lead to the Denver Broncos. (Ha, losers! The Eagles only blew a 17-point lead in a loss to the same team.)<\/p>\n
And so now the Giants are 2-5 instead.<\/p>\n
The Eagles previously faced the Giants coming off a loss to the Saints. New York blew a 14 to 3 lead in that game. There was thought that the Giants losing some momentum would work in the Eagles\u2019 favor \u2026 but that clearly wasn\u2019t the case.<\/p>\n
The Birds must put forth a better effort from the jump this time around after not looking ready to play at MetLife Stadium. You would think they won\u2019t stand for being emasculated by the Giants once again.<\/p>\n
Jalen Hurts also needs to be sharper this time around. He had his worst game of the 2025 season against Shane Bowen\u2019s defense before turning in his best game of the 2025 season against the well-regarded Brian Flores in Minnesota. Go figure.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s hard to predict the current version of the Eagles winning comfortably when they just haven\u2019t done that all season long. Heck, they haven\u2019t even managed to merely outgain a single opponent in seven tries thus far.<\/p>\n
But a statement win over the Giants heading into the Week 9 bye would sure do well to put the struggles of the first half of the season in the rear-view mirror.<\/p>\n
