Line: Eagles by 5

Hamstrung by hamstrings, the Giants’ receiving corps now consists of Larry, Curly and Moe. QB Eli Manning hit on a career-high 41 completions against the Niners for 441 yards, his third best ever, in notching his 27th fourth-quarter regular-season comeback win. The Eagles clicked against the Saints with 519 yards, season-high 39 points and four takeaways to snap a three-game home losing streak. QB Sam Bradford had four passes caught in the end zone, including two by Eagles. Coach Chip Kelly is 3-1 against the Giants. An Eagles win would leave the teams tied atop the NFC East.
