The Philadelphia Eagles (4-3) will try to get back on track when they play their second divisional road game in a row Sunday against the New York Giants (4-3) as small underdogs.

Point spread: The Giants opened as three-point favorites; the total was 44 early in the week, according to sportsbooks monitored by Odds Shark (line updates and matchup report).

Why the Eagles can cover the spread

Despite the team’s recent skid, Philadelphia has dominated New York lately, going 13-3 straight up and against the spread in the past 16 meetings, according to the OddsShark NFL Database. The Eagles have also covered eight of nine on the road against the Giants, who are just 2-5 SU in their last seven off a win.

Rookie quarterback Carson Wentz and first-year head coach Doug Pederson will learn from their mistakes last Sunday at Dallas and be better prepared for this NFC East matchup with New York.

Why the Giants can cover the spread

The Giants are coming off their bye week, which followed a 17-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams in London. They are 6-2 SU in their last eight games after a bye and looked like they were finally starting to find themselves offensively before the week off with wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. getting his groove back.

Beckham remains a legitimate NFL MVP candidate because of how he can impact the game, and quarterback Eli Manning needs him to continue to play well in order to help the team win games. Manning will look to pick on a Philly secondary that surrendered the game-tying touchdown from Dak Prescott to Dez Bryant in the final minutes of regulation last week.

Smart pick

The Eagles have gone from contenders to pretenders in recent weeks because they simply do not have the experience needed to win consistently. While they looked great in an upset of the Minnesota Vikings at home in Week 7, their collapse at Dallas is a cause for concern.

New York has more veterans who know the importance of divisional games and will be more motivated to extend their winning streak with a victory and cover at online sports betting sites.

Betting trends

The Eagles are 13-3 SU and ATS in their last 16 games against the Giants.

The Giants are 2-5 SU in their last seven games after a win.

The total has gone over in seven of the Eagles' last eight games on the road.
