Eagles vs. Giants: NFL Sunday Night Football Free Pick
Our second all NFC East contest of the day goes tonight as the Philadelphia Eagles visit the New York Giants during Week 11 NFL Sunday Night Football action.
Once penciled in as a crucial NFC East battle, this contest now means everything to the G-Men, and very little to the Iggles. This is especially true after the Cowboys beat up on the Redskins earlier today.

Eagles @ Giants: NFL Sunday Night Football Preview
Kickoff for this pro football betting action is slated for 8:20 PM ET on Sunday, November 20, 2011, from MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
New York (6-3) comes into this NFC East match-up off a 27-20 road loss to the San Francisco 49ers during Week 10 action. The Giants are definitely feeling some Texas heat as the Dallas Cowboys racked up a 27-24 OT win over the Washington Redskins early today. By virtue of the NFL playoff tie breaking system, the G-Men would fall into second in the NFC East with a loss in this one.
Philadelphia (3-6) looked to be the picture of health after they throttled the Cowboys 34-7 during Week 8 NFL action. Since then, they have lost two straight games, not to mention their starting quarterback, along with their most reliable wideout. QB DKMV will miss this contest with broken ribs (body), while WR Jeremy Maclin is out with shoulder and hamstring injuries.
NFL Week 11 Football Betting Lines: Giants vs. Eagles Free Pick
We turn to the sportsbook at the TopBet.com for tonight’s Giants vs Eagles Free Pick betting lines. With QB Vince Young making his first start in an Eagles uniform – this game could get ugly quick.
Young has not started a game in the NFL since Week 11 of the 2010 season – as a member of the Tennessee Titans. In an Eagles uniform, Young’s only pass was an interception back in Week 6 during a 20-13 Philly win over the Redskins. This is not a good spot for the reeling Eagles.
New York was on a 0-6 run against Philadelphia, straight up and against the spread, before they beat the Eagles 29-16 on the road during NFL Week 3 action. In that contest Giants QB Eli Manning tossed four TD passes, and RB Ahmad Bradshaw had 139 total yards, including an 18 TD reception.
Super sophomore WR Victor Cruz burst onto the NFL landscape with 110 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Apart from a quiet Week 6 against Buffalo, Cruz has been torching NFL secondaries ever since. We don’t see the Eagles being able to contain him in this game either.
While Bradshaw (foot) will miss his third straight game, RB Brandon Jacobs will be sharpening his Thanksgiving Day skills by carving up the Eagles pathetic run defense. Anyone thinking that Philadelphia is still in the 2011 NFL playoff race is dreaming in technicolor.
The Giants will put that issue to bed – once and for all tonight. Say goodnight Dream Team!
