Philadelphia Eagles Preview
- The reigning Super Bowl champions are off to a hot start, boasting a 4-1 record that’s tied for the NFL’s best.
- Philadelphia is perfect in the conference (3-0).
- Despite ranking 30th in yards on offense, the Eagles are 12th in scoring.
- Week 5 saw the Eagles show a chink in their armor. A 21-17 loss to the Broncos featured Denver outscoring the hosts 18-0 in the final frame.
New York Giants Preview
- The Giants’ 1-4 record is their worst through five weeks since… 2023. They found themselves 2-8 at one point in that season — their current pace for 2025.
- New York’s 10-29 record since 2023 is tied with the Titans for the second-worst in football. Only the Panthers are below them at 9-30.
- Switching from Russell Wilson to rookie Jaxson Dart in Week 4 helped head coach Brian Daboll snag his first victory since Week 17 of last year.

Eagles vs. Giants Same Game Picks for NFL DFS & PrizePicks
Here are three Eagles vs. Giants Week 6 picks for Thursday Night Football. Some top same-game PrizePicks projections to consider include Philly QB Jalen Hurts and RB Saquon Barkley, as well as New York QB Jaxson Dart.
Eagles QB Jalen Hurts Projection: 196.5 Pass Yards
- Five weeks in, Hurts’ average of 177.8 passing yards per game is the lowest mark since his rookie year.
- Hurts opened up the deep ball last week. Per NFL Pro, his 9 such throws in Week 5 were his second-most in a game. Could disgruntled WR A.J. Brown be in for more rewarding output as a result?
- Week 5’s 280 yards were Hurts’ highest since Week 15 of 2024.
- New York’s defense is tried and not-so-true against the pass. Just three teams have been thrown on more, and they’re 24th in yards.
- According to Pro Football Focus, Hurts has a sparkling 105.3 passer rating when kept clean. The Giants are 14th in pressure rate.
Eagles RB Saquon Barkley Projection: 15.5 Receiving Yards
- Barkley has been held back in practice due to a knee injury, but he cites it as “general soreness.” 2024’s Offensive Player of the Year says he’s “excited to go play.”
- The three-time Pro Bowler’s 25.6 receiving yards per game is his highest average since a two-game, injury-shortened 2020 campaign (30.0).
- Barkley averages 29.7 receiving yards per game against the NFC East and 40.0 on Thursdays. In his lone contest against the Giants in 2024, he had 11.
- This year’s Giants defense is middle-of-the-pack against RBs — 16th in receptions and T-16th in receiving yards allowed.
Giants QB Jaxson Dart Projection: 217.5 Pass+Rush Yards
- After posting 155 scrimmage yards in his starting debut, Dart’s total spiked to 257 in Week 5.
- Per Big Blue Film Room, Dart is one of four QBs in the Super Bowl era to run for 50-plus yards in each of his first two starts.
- Philadelphia ranks 13th in rushing yards yielded to QBs on just 13 attempts faced. All but one team above them has allowed 20-plus tries.
- Dart is already tenth among QBs in total rush EPA (5.96) despite only having 85 plays under his belt, per SumerSports.
