Eagles vs. Giants predictions for Week 18 of the NFL season

Eagles vs. Giants predictions for Week 18 of the NFL season originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

The Eagles (13-3) will host the New York Giants (3-13) in the regular season finale at the Linc on Sunday at 1 p.m.

Let’s get to the predictions:

Reuben Frank (9-7)

These late-season meaningless games are kind of a bummer after 16 weeks of intensity with everything to play for. But at least we’ll get to see a bunch of young guys play who don’t usually get onto the field in the regular season, so even though a meaningless game on a cold January Sunday isn’t ideal, it’s a lot worse when you don’t have the postseason coming up next. I’m not sure how you predict a game like this, but I figure whoever the Eagles put out there will be better than whoever the Giants put out there. And a win would give the Eagles 14 wins and tie the franchise record set just two years ago, so there’s that. And any opportunity to see Tanner McKee play is welcome, although things might not come quite so easily playing with a cast of backups. But ultimately all that matters is getting some much-needed rest for the starters and getting to next weekend as healthy as possible.

Eagles 27, Giants 20

Dave Zangaro (10-6)

I don’t know. Everyone understands the Eagles are going to rest most of their starters but they’re still favored in this game, which probably speaks to just how bad the Giants are this year. Can the Eagles beat the Giants with their backups? Probably. This has a chance to be a close game and I’m really looking forward to watching some extended snaps for third-stringer Tanner McKee. The funniest outcome in this game is that the Giants end up winning their second straight to completely ruin their positioning for the 2025 draft. Knowing what I know about the Giants, that seems like the right pick.

Giants 26, Eagles 24

Barrett Brooks (12-4)

The Giants are still in the hunt for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Eagles are using this week as a rest week for some…
