Two teams heading in absolutely different directions meet in the City of Brotherly Love right before the holidays as one looks to cement their playoff status while the other wonders what the heck went wrong.

Philly started out 3-0 and had the #1 defense in the NFL, but since has fallen apart at the seams and what looked to be a great rookie campaign by QB Caron Wentz has fallen by the wayside.

The G-men got a huge win last week over a hot Lions team and are the only team to beat Dallas this year and have done it twice. This should seem like an easy romp for New York with how Philly is playing, but you know the Eagles, who’s season has seemed over for a while, would love nothing more than to wreck the Giants momentum.

I see this game has being much closer than it should be much of the way, but for the Giants to simply have too much offense and defense when all is said and done and for Odell Beckham Jr. to once again be the X-Factor in a Giants win and for the New York defense to make life a living hell for Carson Wentz.
