The Philadelphia Eagles head to New York to take on the Giants in a Week 17 NFC East divisional matchup that doesn’t mean much for either side — except pride. The Eagles have already released head coach Chip Kelly, injecting some doubt into the team’s future. The Giants are likely to take a long look at keeping Tom Coughlin at the helm no matter whether the team wins or loses. The Giants are 3.5-point favorites in the NFL betting odds.

Why should you pick the Eagles (+3.5)?
During Chip Kelly’s three seasons with the Giants, the Eagles have simply owned the Giants, winning games by an average score of 31-13 (if you take out the game where the eagles started Matt Barkley at quarterback). The Eagles have not done much on defense, but they could still run up and down the field against a Giant defense that is surprisingly charitable.
