The Eagles defeated the Giants twice in the regular season — in Week 14 in a 48-22 win and in Week 18 in a 22-16 win to secure the No. 1 seed.
Even though the Giants’ late-season surge and quarterback Jalen Hurts are still recovering from a shoulder sprain sustained in Week 15, the Eagles have the edge. Another thing to keep in mind: In this week 14 game, the Eagles held running back Saquon Barkley to just 28 rushing yards, his second-lowest rushing yardage of the season.
