With a win and a loss by the Dallas Cowboys the Philadelphia Eagles will win the NFC East, however, if the Cowboys win against the Commanders the Eagles will be the 5 seed and will face either the Buccaneers or Saints in the Wild Card round next weekend. Philadelphia enters this game with a record of 11-5 and is in 2^nd place in the NFC East while having lost four of their last five games including last week’s 31-35 loss at home against the Arizona Cardinals. Philadelphia has been one of the highest-scoring teams in the NFL this season as they enter this matchup averaging 26.44 points per game which ranks 7^th in the NFL. 

Jalen Hurts has had a solid season in his 2^nd full season as the starting quarterback for Philadelphia as he enters this game having completed 345 of 522 attempts for 3,803 yards with 23 touchdowns and 14 interceptions while rushing for 601 yards and 15 touchdowns. The Philadelphia Eagles will look to bounce back following the loss against the Cardinals at home when they travel to face the New York Giants.

The New York Giants are in 3^rd place in the NFC East with a record of 5-11 and are on a three-game losing streak following a 25-26 loss at home against the Los Angeles Rams in week 17. The Giants have been a below-average team offensively and defensively this season as they are averaging the 3^rd fewest points per game in the league with an average of 14.94 points per game while allowing the 5^th most points per game with an average of 24.81 points per game. 

Tommy DeVito has given the offense some life since taking over as the starting quarterback and enters this game having completed 112 of 176 attempts for 1,087 yards with eight touchdowns and three interceptions while rushing for 195 yards and a touchdown. The New York Giants will look to end their three-game losing streak when they host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon.
