Philadelphia Eagles vs New York Giants: Bold predictions for Week 12

Bold predictions for the Philadelphia Eagles defense

Jonathan Gannon has been both praised and criticized for the play of his defense. They’ve been up, and they’ve been down. In Week 11, they were up and down in the same game. In Week 12, they’ll put everything together.

1. The Eagles’ defense forces two more turnovers.

Perhaps we jumped the gun much too early with the theories that Jonathan Gannon had already lost the faith of his defense. Sure, they were clearly frustrated, but they seem to have steadied the ship.

That doesn’t mean that Gannon is perfect. You saw how this unit almost collapsed in Week 11, but in Week 12, we expect this unit to put it all together and dominate versus a struggling Giants offense. Daniel Jones turns the ball over two times in this one.

2. Philadelphia’s defense holds the Giants to less than 200 total yards and spearheads a win by three scores. 

Dare we say the words ‘three-game winning streak’? It’s possible!

The Philadelphia Eagles haven’t become so dominant that they can look past teams, but you can make the argument that, from top to bottom, they’re just as good or better than the Giants are at every position.

The Birds have taken 21 of the last 26 meetings. They lost the most recent, but they’ll right the ship in this one via stress-free, four-quarter domination. Prediction: Eagles 34, Giants 17
