Eagles vs. Giants key storylines
- The Giants and Eagles approach midseason on divergent paths within the division. The Eagles have lost six straight games, yet the team is resisting further change as it tries to navigate the rest of the season without Jalen Hurts. The Giants, meanwhile, have embraced adapting on the fly, most notably with the switch to J.J. McCarthy as the starting quarterback.
- McCarthy built a good deal of confidence in his first start with the Giants. After the bye, he could have an even more complete command of the offense, though Vic Fangio's defense could test his patience and precision.
- Is there any way up for an Eagles offense that has already reached rock bottom? Philadelphia ranks 30th in scoring and last in yards per game. Saquon Barkley has indicated he won't be dealt at the deadline, but even the 2024 Offensive Player of the Year looks incapable of rescuing this severely shorthanded crew.

Eagles vs Giants USA TODAY expert picks
Adam Kaufman: Giants 23, Eagles 17
The Giants are favored in Philadelphia. We haven't seen that since 2009! New York comes off its bye with an opportunity to strengthen its position in an NFC East that apparently nobody else wants to win. The Eagles' offense has struggled without Jalen Hurts, and Tanner McKee needs considerably more help than he's getting. At every level. Cam Skattebo's availability matters for Big Blue, but Malik Nabers gives J.J. McCarthy a receiving threat capable of changing a possession in a hurry. New York hasn't won in Philadelphia in its last 13 tries, but couldn't be getting the home team at a better time.
Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz: Giants 26, Eagles 17
This feels like it could reinforce the new world order within the NFC East. The Eagles'
offensive woes show no signs of abating, and Abdul Carter could wreak havoc against an overmatched offensive line. J.J. McCarthy should be able to muster enough of a spark to guide Big Blue against a Vic Fangio defense that seems like a shell of past versions of itself.
Nicholas Brinkerhoff: Giants 20, Eagles 13
There will be no style points awarded in this game. The Giants are fresh off a bye week and will soon find out if J.J. McCarthy turned into a pumpkin over Halloween. The Eagles are battered and bruised, leaving Philly wondering if it can just fast forward to the offseason. John Harbaugh's Giants are in complete control when it comes to the NFC East race and should have no difficulty defeating the Eagles after making the trip down the turnpike. 'Big Blue” takes care of business.
