The Giants have off-field distractions? They were at their peek on Saturday and they beat the fuck out of the Redskins. The Giants already won in Philly and now they will bring it home and get it done comfortably.
Why is everyone always giving Philly so much credit? Their not a good team. Their defense is not anywhere near what it used to be. McNabb is done. Reid has no clue. Westbrook can't stay on the field.

Clearly the G-Men are on another level. They have won 6 of the last 7 vs the Eagles in the regular season and 15-1 in their last 16 overall. Look at the games they are winning: Wash twice, @ Phi, vs Dal, @ Pit, vs Bal, @ Ari. They have covered 7 in a row ATS and are 16-2 in their last 18 ATS.
Betting against this team right now is just not smart. Its not a winning proposition. Eagles 1-3 ATS last 4 and 3-7 ATS vs NFC East last 10.
I don't get it....gl.

Yup, any given Sunday I agree. Didn't say the defense was the problem just said it wasn't what it used to be. The Philly D used to put fear into opponents and used to be very tough to score on. Nowadays they give up 41 to the Cowboys and 36 to the Giants as well as 36 to the Ravens (alot of this was on the O though). In 2002 they gave up 35 points 0 times, in 2003 they gave up 35 0 times, in 2004 they gave up 35 points once in Week 17 vs the Bengals in a game with no starters because they were 13-2. In 2005 they gave up 49 in Denver, in 06 once to Indy, and in 07 once to Dallas. This means 4 times in 105 games from 02-07 they have given up 35+ points. Now they have given up 35+ 3 times in the past 12 games...hmmm.
Ps...Giants put up 35+ 5 times this year already.
Giants have been playing with 'distractions' for over a year now.
This in no way, shape, or form factor in in anybodys handicapping.
Foolish to fade the Giants in any spot off of the way they have been playing.
Either play the G-Men or pass, fading the G-Men for the last month has been a bankroll killer.

Distractions, Distractions, Distractions, the only distraction they have is getting blinded by the glare from their SuperBowl ring!
Buckholder is out, Westbrook is playing hurt, the Eagles played out of their asses Thanksgiving day in front of the home crowd, they will not pull an Oakland where they went to Denver and crushed the opponent, they are not that good! Bill Hill is right on the money G-Men or no play, no running game will open up a passing game for Philly where they might score 21, I can't see the Giants scoring less than that, add in a FG somewhere and we have an OVER 43. That's my play! Good Luck.

As you stated a lot of those points surrendered has to do with the excessive offensive turnovers ... the Philly D played exceptional vs the Ravens. If you're comparing this year's Eagle defense to 2002-2004 I agree with you - it just seems an irrelevant comparison given how dramatically the NFL changes these days.
All I said is its not what is used to be. You said its just as good...not sure where we are going with this.
