The giants played a conservative game plan vs. atlanta last week because they knew they could wear them down by the fourth quarter with their 2 headed running attack of rashad jenning and andre williams. They didn't use the no huddle at all and played with no pace, they were still able to put up 30 , albeit against an absolutely awful atlanta defense. When i look to play an over in the nfl i look at the likely pace and tempo both teams will play with, not so much interested in defensive stats as i am in tempo. This game will be played with pace on both sides of the ball, we already know the pace philly plays with, it has been well documented and they do it every game, they run the no huddle almost the entire game.
I expect the g men to use the no huddle often in this game, as i believe they know that they need 30 to win. The eagles offense hasn't been great of late, and the gmen have a legitimate front four, but other than cromartie they are weak and susceptible in the secondary still (though they are improving they are hardly a shutdown secondary).
The eagles have major injuries at the second level on defense, and i believe the gmen will try to exploit that this week with donnell , and also with bubble screens to odell beckham and cruz. There's alot of speed on the field tonight for both teams on offense and i expect lots of YAC as neither team is great at tackling in the second level.
The eagles defense is showing signs of wearing down already due to the sheer number of plays they see compared to most teams. The eagles will be in this game the entire way imo, as the giants albeit improving, are still not an elite team, especially at the second and third levels on defense. Sleight lean on the gmen, but i believe the safer play and the better play is the over.
