Experts Unanimously Pick Winner of Giants-Eagles Week 9 Game

As the New York Giants get ready for Week 9 of the NFL season, the team has to be happy with where they are.

Of course, there are areas that the team can improve on, but overall, the Giants are in a good spot. New York will be coming into the week with a record of 4-2-1 on the season, coming off a much-needed bye.

The Giants are in full control of the NFC East right now, with the rest of the division underperforming this season. And New York has a chance to put on even more distance between them and a rival this week.

New York will be traveling to take on the Philadelphia Eagles this week, offering them a chance to take down an NFC East rival. The Eagles have been a mess this season, with the team seeing all sorts of injuries taking place across the roster.

Philadelphia will be coming into the game against the Giants with a record of 2-6 on the season, with them having lost six straight games. The Eagles will be without starting quarterback Jalen Hurts for the game, as he's been ruled out for the remainder of the season due to a scary blood clot problem.

The Eagles will be starting backup Joe Milton under center, hoping to give the offense a spark this week. Milton is fairly inexperienced in the NFL, and the Giants will look to take advantage of the situation in front of them.

Experts Gary Davenport, Brad Gagnon, Kris Knox, Moe Moton, Brent Sobleski, Wes O'Donnell, and Ian Hanford of Bleacher Report all made picks for the upcoming game this week. Within this, all seven experts decided to go with the Giants to grab the win on the road against the Eagles.

For the Giants to make this prediction come true, they will need to get the running game going strong. This will open up everything else on offense, giving quarterback J.J. McCarthy more to work with.

McCarthy has given the offense new life since taking over for Jameis Winston, and he will be looking to keep everything rolling against a strong Eagles defense. The former first-round draft pick has started to play much more smoothly, with the Giants giving him an opportunity to flash his skills.

Kickoff for the game between the Giants and Eagles is scheduled for 10:00 a.m. PT/1:00 p.m. ET from Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia.
