New York Giants v. Philadelphia Eagles NFL Playoff Line


June 5, 2008 | Posted By Larry Cook

Another rematch shows the Giants vs. Eagles point spread sitting around a touchdown.  The total for this first round matchup at Lincoln Financial Field is set at 46.5.

The Giants were reeling heading into their Saturday night matchup with the Redskins, but Tiki Barber would not be denied.  Barber ran for three touchdowns and 234 yards on 23 carries to get the Giants to 8-8 both SU and ATS and into the playoffs.  Manning only completed 12 passes for 101 yards though, so a lot of questions remain at quarterback.

The Eagles won the NFC East at 10-6 SU and 8-7 ATS after winning against Atlanta by a touchdown last week.  AJ Feeley started to give some rest to Jeff Garcia and he threw for 321 yards and three touchdowns.  Hank Backett caught seven passes for 177 yards and a touchdown.  Nobody in the NFC is hotter than the Eagles, they might be a team to watch out for.
