NYG/Philadelphia over 48.5:
Philadelphia (6-3) put up totals of 85 points and 765 yards in sweeping the season series from New York (6-3) last season for the first time in five years. The Eagles also beat the Giants twice the year before, ending the defending Super Bowl champions' season in a divisional playoff game. Donovan McNabb was the quarterback in all of those games, but the Eagles appear more formidable with a rejuvenated Michael Vick behind center. Vick leads all players with a 115.1 passer rating, and turned in a virtuoso performance in Monday's 59-28 rout at Washington.
Vick completed 20 of 28 passes for four touchdowns and 333 yards and ran for 80 yards and two scores on eight carries. He's the first player in NFL history to amass 300 yards passing, 50 yards rushing, four passing TDs and two rushing scores in a single game. While the Giants have the top-rated defense in the NFL, allowing 270.2 yards per game, they looked awful last Sunday as it allowed Jon Kitna to throw three touchdowns and Dallas to amass 427 yards in a 33-20 loss that ended New York's five-game winning streak. The Eagles are averaging 400.2 yards per game, which is second in the NFC to New York's 409.8. Manning is tied for the league lead with 19 touchdowns and second-year receiver Hakeem Nicks is tied atop the NFL with nine touchdown catches.
This game also features the top rushing teams in the NFC, with Philadelphia ranking first at 151.1 yards per game and New York at 146.9. Ahmad Bradshaw is third in the league with 838 yards for the Giants. The similarities continue with Philadelphia leading the conference with 257 points, and New York second at 236. Giants coach Tom Coughlin emphasized that the major difference between the teams is that the Eagles lead the league in turnover margin at plus-12 compared to New York's minus-five. If you want offense, you've come to the right place, as the first one to 30 tonight wins. GL however you play!
