The Giants and the Eagles will face off in a must-see match between NFC East foes in the NFL Divisional Round on FOX.
The New York Giants defeated the Minnesota Vikings 31-24 in Wild Card weekend. The Philadelphia Eagles, on the other hand, earned the top seed in the NFC and a bye for the first week of playoffs.
Now, the Giants must travel to face an Eagles team that cemented itself as one of the best squads in the league all season.
Can the Giants pull off a Philly upset, or will the Eagles protect home turf and advance to the conference championship?
Here’s everything you need from a betting perspective on the Giants-Eagles game, from the point spread, moneyline, total Over/Under, insights and expert pick (odds via FOX Bet).

Pick via FOX Sports NFL Analyst Geoff Schwartz:
Maybe I’m being a simpleton here, but this one doesn’t feel all that complicated.
The Giants are a fantastic story. They are what people love about sports — the underdog story. Daniel Jones was counted out, and now he’s on the verge of getting paid. With an underwhelming roster and injuries, New York battled through to secure a wild-card spot and ultimately, a win against the Vikings. The G-Men are well-coached, they don’t beat themselves, and they rarely make crippling mistakes.
However …
… Philadelphia is the superior team by far. The Eagles finished the season on a downward trend because of the Jalen Hurts injury and other injuries to impact players. But with the extra week of rest, we should see a healthy and rejuvenated quarterback in Hurts. Philly finished the season ranked third on offense and sixth on defense, while the Giants finished 10th on offense and 29th on defense. Eagles also have a big advantage when it comes to special teams efficiency.
The Eagles will also be able to take advantage of the Giants weaknesses at receiver and offensive line while neutralizing the best of the Giants — their interior defensive linemen. Philadelphia will probably be without right tackle Lane Johnson, but I’d worry far more about that when the team suits up against the 49ers.
The Eagles will handle business in a big way.
PICK: Eagles (-7.5 at FOX Bet) to win by more than 7.5 points
