Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Giants Week 6 Betting Preview
The Philadelphia Eagles look to rebound from their first loss since last December when they visit the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football at MetLife Stadium. Philadelphia (4-1) has won three straight Thursday games under Nick Sirianni, while New York (1-4) is winless in 10 such contests across its last four coaches.
Current coach Brian Daboll is 0-4 on short weeks. The franchise’s last Thursday win came in 2015 under Tom Coughlin, a 32-21 victory over Washington. This matchup also marks Eagles running back Saquon Barkley’s second trip back to his old home field and the NFC East debut for Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.
Philadelphia blew a 17-3 fourth-quarter lead in last week’s 21-17 upset loss to Denver. Barkley had only six carries but caught a 47-yard touchdown, the longest play by an Eagles running back since 2016. He’s expected to handle a larger role Thursday against a Giants defense that has allowed the sixth-most rushing yards per game.
Dart, meanwhile, aims to stabilize a New York offense that built a 14-3 lead in New Orleans before collapsing 26-14. The rookie’s poise and mobility have been bright spots, but he faces a pass rush that ranks top five in pressure rate.

atchup Breakdown
Barkley’s production has dipped, ranking 22nd in the league with 267 rushing yards, but returning to East Rutherford could reignite him. The Eagles’ offensive line, however, must improve after surrendering four sacks last week.
On defense, Philadelphia’s front has a clear edge against a Giants unit ranked bottom five in third-down conversions. Rookie Dart has flashed potential but remains vulnerable when blitzed, and Philadelphia’s secondary has allowed the fewest explosive passes in the NFC.
