There are three games of the 2023 NFL on the program on Christmas Day. We’ve already covered the Las Vegas Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs and the Baltimore Ravens vs. San Francisco 49ers games. Now, it’s time to do a Giants vs. Eagles prediction.

You may not think that this game is as interesting as the other two Christmas games, but from a bettor’s perspective, this duel is fantastic. The Giants are 12-point underdogs, which makes them the biggest underdogs of all the teams in Week 16. It’s a big spread, can the Eagles cover it? Let’s find out!

New York Giants Don’t Have Much to Hope For

Sure, there’s a theoretical chance that the New York Giants might make the playoffs, but that chance is extremely low. The thing is that they’re 5-9, meaning that they’ve got no chance of winning the NFC East.

They could challenge for a wild card entry to the postseason, but there for that, they’d need to win all of their remaining games, as well as see some of their rivals fail against big underdogs.

Coach Brian Daboll and his men are aware of this, which is why they probably don’t have big plans for the Christmas game. Instead, they’re coming to Philly to have fun and perhaps try out some moves and strategies that could be useful for them in the next season.

Being the worst offense in the conference with just 13.5 points scored per game, they might decide to risk more when attacking. Rookie quarterback Tommy DeVito might get the freedom to try longer passes rather than just trying to get the Giants to a field-goal distance.

Philadelphia Eagles Need a Big Win to Up Their Confidence

The Eagles are 10-4 in the 2023-24 NFL, with three of their four losses happening in the last three games. To be fair to them, in two of those, they played against real heavyweights – the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys.

However, in their most recent game, the Eagles lost to the Seattle Seahawks, who were 5-point underdogs before the game. Philly lost 20-17, but they’re the only ones to blame. They could’ve done better defensively – they conceded a touchdown in the final drive of the game.

They also could’ve done better offensively. Their running game was alright, particularly the one of their quarterback Jalen Hurts who scored two rushing TDs that day. Their passing game, however, was disappointing.

Even though A. J. Brown and DeVonta Smith made five receptions each, gaining 50+ yards each, neither of them managed to record a touchdown. The reason why this should worry them is that that was the second game in a row that they failed to score a passing TD. Another reason for concern is that pass defense is actually one of the few things the Giants have been doing well in 2023.

New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles Prediction

The Philadelphia Eagles will win this game, we have no doubt about that. However, we don’t think they’re going to cover the 12-point spread. The Giants will come into this game stress-free, which could make them more creative, the result of which is that we might see them score a couple of TDs on Christmas.

Picks: New York Giants +12.0 & Over 42.5 Points

The Philadelphia Eagles dropped out of the No. 1 spot in the National Football Conference after losing their last two games. This, however, doesn’t mean their form has decreased. After all, they played against two really tough opponents. However, alarm bells would start ringing if they lost to the Seattle Seahawks on Monday night.

Judging by the Eagles vs. Seahawks odds, such a thing is not very likely to happen. In fact, practically everything is going in Philly’s favor ahead of the Week 15 MNF game apart from the fact that it’s played in Seattle.

Philadelphia Eagles Coming to Seattle to Get a Win

The Eagles are 10-3 overall with two of their three losses happening in the last two games. It sounds bad, but there’s an explanation – they lost to the Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers who have been in top shape throughout the 2023 season.

Before that, we saw the Eagles beat a number of heavyweights, including the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Miami Dolphins, and even the Cowboys.

Given the circumstances, that is, a very ugly schedule, these guys have been fantastic in 2023. This goes particularly for their offensive team which is sixth-best in the league with 26.3 PPG. With QB Jalen Hurts in top shape, it’s no surprise it’s been like that.

This guy is 10^th in passing yards and tied 12^th in passing touchdowns. He’s also been great when it comes to running the ball, scoring 12 rushing TDs already. The reason why these stats are important is that Philly’s next opponent isn’t great at defending against runs. In fact, the Seahawks are the NFL’s fourth-worst defense in rushing TDs conceded.

Will Seattle Seahawks Finally Lose to Eagles?

The Seattle Seahawks have won every single of their last seven duels with the Philadelphia Eagles. However, they haven’t played against them since 2020. Fast-forward to December 18, 2023, and neither team looks the same as before.

The Eagles are now a team with Super Bowl ambitions while the Seahawks are struggling to challenge for a Wild Card ticket to the postseason. Pete Carroll’s boys are 6-7 in 2023, which isn’t bad at all. However, they did lose each of their last four games.

But there’s a caveat. Two of those games were against the 49ers, one against the Cowboys, and one against the Rams. Plus, the loss to the LA-based team was by just one point. 

Philadelphia Eagles vs. Seattle Seahawks Prediction

We don’t think the Seahawks have the player quality to play in the 2023 postseason and their 6-7 record is a sort of a glitch.

Sure, they did put on a good fight against some real heavyweights, but we just can’t see them doing much against the motivated Eagles. The boys from Philly are coming to Seattle determined to win and no one can stop them.

Pick: Philadelphia Eagles -4 (-110) & over 47.5 points (-110)
