Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Giants Odds

• Opening point spread: Eagles -6
• Opening moneyline: Eagles -250/Giants +200
• Opening total: Over/Under 45.5 points scored
• Time: 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday (CBS)

UPDATE 3:45 P.M. ET SUNDAY: With 40 minutes until kickoff, the Eagles are 5-point favorites at The SuperBook. That's down a tick from the -6 opener last Sunday night, but up from the -4.5 low point Thursday.

"Ticket count favors the Eagles, but it's a little more even than I would've thought. I would've thought the Giants would be a decent need for us, but they're not," SuperBook executive director John Murray said.

The total tumbled from a 45.5 opener to 41 by Monday at The SuperBook. It climbed to 42 by Wednesday, then today went to 43.

UPDATE 6 P.M. ET WEDNESDAY: Philly is down a point this week in TwinSpires' NFL odds Week 18 market. The Eagles opened -6 and are now -5. Philadelphia is getting a modest majority 53% of spread tickets midweek, and New York is landing 60% of spread money.

"Sharp play on Giants +6," Lucas said.

The total tumbled from 45 to 42 over the past couple of days. The Under is seeing 56% of early tickets/75% of early money.

"Sharp and public play on Under 45 and Under 44," Lucas said.

UPDATE 10 P.M. ET SUNDAY: Defending NFC champion Philadelphia (11-5 SU/5-10-1 ATS) is falling apart late in the season. In Week 17, as 12.5-point home faves, the Eagles stunningly lost outright to Arizona 35-31.

Philly is 1-4 SU/0-5 ATS in its last five games.

The Eagles now need to beat New York in Week 18 to have a shot at winning the NFC East. And that's no gimme. The Eagles and Giants just met in Week 16, with Philadelphia winning 33-25, but New York covering as a 14-point pup.

New York (5-11 SU/7-8-1 ATS) followed up by giving the surging L.A. Rams a tough Week 17 game. The Giants fell just short 26-25 as 6.5-point home underdogs. New York got a 94-yard Gunner Olszewski punt-return touchdown with 3:27 remaining. But the G-Men's 2-point attempt failed.

The SuperBook opened Eagles-Giants at Philly -6 and receded to -5.5 tonight.

"What a huge loss by the Eagles today against Arizona," Michaelson said. "With the Giants playing Tyrod Taylor, a competent NFL quarterback, this line was always gonna be very different to the Christmas line with Tommy Devito."

Indeed, New York was a 14-point underdog in Week 16. And there's another factor to consider, since Philly and Dallas will surely have the same kickoff time.

"Philly could also pull its starters if Dallas is beating up on Washington, since the Eagles essentially blew the division today," Michaelson said.
