It’s an NFC East clash between the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles in Saturday’s Divisional Round nightcap, and we’ve got three player prop picks based on the best NFL odds for the Giants-Eagles showdown.

For the third time this season, the New York Giants and the Philadelphia Eagles are set to go head-to-head on Saturday. This time, however, a spot in the NFC Championship Game is on the line.

Despite being a 3-point underdog on the road last week, the Giants were able to knock off the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild Card Round. The Giants have done damage in the playoffs before as a No. 6 seed and will look to pull off another shocker on Saturday.

The Eagles enjoyed a much-needed bye last week after beating the Giants in their regular season finale to clinch the 1-seed. Beating a team three times in a single season is never easy, but Philadelphia will need to do so in order to keep its Super Bowl hopes alive.

Here are our best NFL player prop picks for Saturday’s Giants vs. Eagles Divisional Round game (odds via BetMGM, PointsBet and SuperBook; pick confidence based on a 1-to-5 star scale). 

Check out our Giants vs. Eagles picks, Giants vs. Eagles same-game parlay, and Jalen Hurts prop picks.

Giants vs. Eagles NFL Divisional Round Player Props

Isaiah Hodgins Under 45.5 receiving yards vs. Eagles (-110 via BetMGM) ⭐⭐⭐

It wasn’t more than a few months ago that Hodgins was still a member of the Buffalo Bills’ practice squad. Now, he’s one of the Giants’ top pass-catchers. In last week’s Wild Card Round against Minnesota, Hodgins led the team with 105 yards receiving. His two best statistical outputs of the year have both come against the Vikings.

Unfortunately, Hodgins and the entire Giants’ passing attack will be up against stronger resistance on Saturday night. According to Football Outsiders, the Eagles rank No. 1 in adjusted defensive efficiency against the pass. 

What’s more, Hodgins’ performance last week will likely only lead to the Eagles paying more attention to him. The fact that he has only surpassed 44 yards receiving when matched up against the Vikings only supports the notion to play the Under. 

Editor's note: The best odds available for Hodgins Under 41.5 receiving yards as of Saturday afternoon are -110 via FanDuel Sportsbook.

A.J. Brown Under 5.5 receptions vs. Giants (-150 via PointsBet) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

At first glance, some may be reluctant to lay -150 juice on A.J. Brown’s receptions prop. Considering that other sportsbooks are listing this same prop with odds as high as -174, the price found at PointsBet isn’t all that bad. This is especially true given some of the football-related factors that Brown would have to overcome to surpass 5.5 receptions.

Last week, the Giants finally had both safety Xavier McKinney and corner Adoree’ Jackson healthy and on the field together. They combined to shut down Justin Jefferson and will undoubtedly work in tandem against Brown as well. In addition, Jalen Hurts could shy away from pushing the ball down the field if his shoulder is at less than 100%.

Even for a star receiver like Brown, finishing with a half-dozen receptions or more in a single game is hardly easy. Dating back to the start of November, he was held to five catches or fewer in seven of 10 games, including both regular-season meetings against the Giants. 

Editor's note: The best odds available for Brown Under 5.5 receptions as of Saturday afternoon are -155 via DraftKings.

Miles Sanders Over 0.5 total touchdowns vs. Giants (+110 via SuperBook) ⭐⭐

The Giants may boast a star-studded defensive front, but the unit struggled to stop the run on a consistent basis this season. New York ranks dead-last in the NFL in adjusted defensive efficiency against the run. The Giants also surrendered 15 total touchdowns to running backs. Two of those came courtesy of Sanders in the first meeting between these teams.

After failing to score a single touchdown last year, Sanders has found paydirt 11 times so far this season. Depending on the status of Hurts’ injury, the Eagles could feature the run game even more heavily than they otherwise would. This bodes well for Sanders getting the opportunity to finish off a drive with a score.

Bettors are advised to be selective when it comes to choosing where they make this prop bet. Note that the wording of “Over 0.5 touchdowns” is equivalent to the more common “Anytime TD Scorer” market. Based on current prices across the market, SuperBook’s +110 odds reflect the best available value on Sanders to find the end zone.
