Offensive MVP
Running back- LeSean McCoy
Despite averaging only 2.9 yards per carry thus for this season expect McCoy to have his first big game of the year. The offensive line has been battered by injuries, but the unit, full of reserves, has begun jellying together, and the line should be able to open more running lanes for McCoy. Additionally, McCoy always excels in primetime games such as this Sunday Night Clash. Expect McCoy to cross a 100 yards rushing and 50 yards receiving.
Defensive MVP
Inside linebacker- Demeco Ryans
Ryans will play despite missing several days of practice this week. His presence in stopping the Giant’s run game is even more significant then normal because linebacker Mychal Kendricks will be out of the game. Ryans is the quarterback of the defenses, and he will be key in stopping the downhill rushing attack of Giants. Expect Ryans to record at least ten tackles.
X-factor
Special teams
The Eagles have the leagues best special teams, recording six special teams touchdowns already this season. If the Eagles can continue their success on special teams against the Giants, the Eagles should be victorious.
Final Prediction
The Eagles defense should be able to force turnovers against the Giants offense that lead the league in turnovers last season. And the Birds should be able to limit the Giant’s ground game with running back Rashad Jennings out with an injury.
Eagles 31-17
