Eagles vs. Giants odds, predictions: Best bets, player-prop wagers for Thursday Night Football

The NFL season has reached Week 6, with the Philadelphia Eagles (4-1) facing the New York Giants (1-4) in a Thursday Night Football game, where the Eagles are 7-point favorites on the road and the total is set at 40.5. Both teams are coming off losses, with the Eagles aiming to maintain their lead in the NFC and the Giants seeking to improve their divisional standing. The analysis focuses on betting strategies for the spread, total, and props, using odds from BetMGM.

In terms of the spread, early market signals show a consensus at a "soft" 7.5, with minimal line movement indicating no clear sharp side. The author finds it difficult to support betting on the Eagles as favorites against the spread or on the Giants at +7.5, due to the low total of 41 and early sharp action in the totals market, leading to a decision to avoid the spread altogether.

The total betting market has seen consistent sharp action and line movement, reopening at 42.5 and moving one-way towards the under without resistance. From a football perspective, the Giants rank 28th in points scored, and both teams are run-heavy with mobile quarterbacks and short passing concepts, contributing to low scoring expectations. Jalen Hurts averages only 177.8 pass yards per game, yet the Eagles continue to win, suggesting the game will feature clock-burning drives and little change in offensive strategy.
