Giants at Eagles: How to watch, odds, expert picks with New York still in play for top pick

Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni has already decided to rest several starters for their Week 18 game against the New York Giants. That means no single-season rushing record for running back Saquon Barkley, and the Eagles are only a slim favorite over the 3-13 Giants.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts also remains out of the lineup as he continues to be in the league’s concussion protocol, while backup quarterback Kenny Pickett suffered a rib injury in last week’s game against the Dallas Cowboys. That could mean Tanner McKee gets an opportunity to make his first NFL start.

McKee completed 3-of-4 passes for 54 yards and two touchdowns after Pickett got hurt against the Cowboys.

The Eagles are already locked into the No. 2 spot in the NFC. The only real intrigue in this game is what it could mean for the Giants’ 2025 NFL Draft position.

Just when it looked like they were locked into the No. 1 overall pick a week ago, the Giants put together their best performance of the season against the Indianapolis Colts and dropped all the way down to the No. 4 pick going into Week 18.

New York is technically still in play for the first pick but could also drop even further, playing an Eagles team resting their starters with nothing to play for, especially if quarterback Drew Lock follows up the best game of his career against the Colts with another strong game. Lock was 17-of-23 for 309 yards and five total touchdowns (four passing, one rushing).
