I think we win this one. Cruz is still out and Beckham is nursing a hamstring. We are really good against the run so Eli shouldn't be able to depend on that.

I read something about the Giants losing to the Eagles a lot over the past years on MNF. To the point of owning them. I'd like y'all to continue this tradition this week. No Prince for the Giants will work in your favor.
NFCE games are always so entertaining. The weirdest things happen. But I expect the Eagles to win this one.
The Eagles will win if Chip uses the run. No run;NO WIN!
This^^ I think the Eagles win this 37- 17.. The Giants are banged up a bit. Prince is out and I think Becham may possibly be out as well?I read something about the Giants losing to the Eagles a lot over the past years on MNF. To the point of owning them.

Yes! At least 25 running plays. I guarantee an Easgle win if they run it 25 or more times.So the games comes down to whether or not the coach calls running plays?
The Giants have a horrific pass D. We better run it 25 times after we complete most passes.

The Patriots have Brady. They can afford to pass more. plus they do not slow their game down when they have a lead. They try to put their opponents away. Our QB is a work in progress. The less Bradford has to throw thelol. It tends to be a chicken and egg sort of thing. Teams with the lead usually run the ball more when they lead. Teams that have leads usually win games. Therefore winning teams run the ball more.
Teams that are behind pass the ball more. Teams that are behind lose more games.
But do teams that run more win more games? Not always. The Patriots have only exceeded 25 rushing attempts once this season and they are 5-0. They have 119 rushing attempts to 197 pass attempts on the season.
I do tend to agree though. If the Eagles run the ball more than 25 times, I suspect they are either having success running, or have a decent lead in the game. Either way they probably win in those scenarios. Predicting a win with more than 25 rush attempts is one of those Bass Ackwards sort of predictions. Kind of like saying if the Eagles are winning the game, they will probably win the game.

less chance he will get injured. Would like to see a balanced attack against the Giants.
Giants rate out as the team most impacted by injury so far this young season. Having CB Amukamara and LB Kennard out is really going to hurt our defense.
On offense, the health of OBJ will be critical. Not only if he plays, but how effective he is. Beckham, Jr. represents 90% of the "sizzle" in the Giant offense (Vereen is the other 10%).
Hard to feel confident as a Giants fan given the overall injury situation.
