Eagles vs. Giants predictions for Week 16 of NFL season originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

The Eagles (10-4) are hosting the Giants (5-9) on Christmas Day at Lincoln Financial Field.

I seriously considered picking the Giants just because the way the last few weeks have gone, it’s hard to picture the Eagles beating anybody right about now. But come on. The Giants are legitimately awful. They’re 31st in yards per game, 31st in points per game, last in passing offense, last in sacks allowed, 31st in first downs, 31st in 3rd-down conversions and 30th in the red zone. On defense, they’re 24th in yards allowed, 29th in rushing yards allowed, 30th in sacks, 24th in first downs allowed and 25th in points allowed. As bad as the Eagles have played the last three weeks, the Giants have played that bad all year. To me, this game isn’t about the Giants at all. The Eagles are better everywhere. It’s about the Eagles. How do they respond to a three-game losing streak? How do they respond to blowing a 10-point in Seattle? How do they respond to Jalen Hurts’ recent struggles?

Do they have it in them? If they give this one away, they’re in deep trouble.

The Eagles are reeling a little bit but this is the part of the schedule they should dominate. Two games against the Giants and one against the Cardinals to finish off the regular season. Sure, Tommy DeVito has done some nice things but the Eagles defensive lien should be able to get after him in this game. That Giants offensive line has been shaky all season and the Eagles’ defensive line should be able to get after him in this game. While the pass rush hasn’t been as dominant as you’d expect for most of the…
