Our favorite picks and player props as the Giants take on the Eagles at 8:15 p.m. ET on Saturday.
I was surprised when I first saw this number, as I was expecting the betting market to inflate the Giants’ young quarterback after his scintillating playoff debut. Instead, oddsmakers have taken a measured approach ahead of this weekend, and I’m still gladly fading this number in a tough spot for Danny Dimes.
While the fourth-year passer threw for 301 yards in the wild-card round, it was just the fourth time he has thrown for 220-plus yards in a game this season — and two of them came against the Vikings. In his other 13 starts, he’s averaging just 177.1 passing yards, which includes a miserable 169-yard effort when the Giants and Eagles met in Week 14.
That should come as no surprise, as the Eagles rank first in passing yards allowed and own the NFL’s best pass defense by DVOA, too. This is a brutal matchup for Jones, who is already a shaky bet to throw for 200 yards in any given week, even with his late-season improvement.
