5 Reasons Why the Philadelphia Eagles Will Crush the Giants in Week 8

Just 17 days after a heartbreaking collapse against the New York Giants, the Philadelphia Eagles (5-2) are gearing up for revenge in Week 8. Despite missing key starters, the depth, discipline, and determination of this team make them more than capable of dominating the Giants (2-5).
Here are five reasons why the Eagles are set to bury their NFC East rivals this week.

1. Jalen Hurts Is in MVP Form

Jalen Hurts is playing like a man possessed. After posting a perfect passer rating of 158.3 last week, he’s thrown just one interception all season — and yes, that lone pick came against the Giants. You can bet he’s not forgetting that.
With 16 total touchdowns (11 passing, 5 rushing) and a 108.9 rating (5th in the NFL), Hurts is hitting his stride at the perfect time. When he’s in rhythm, the Eagles offense is nearly unstoppable.

2. Jalen Carter’s Return Changes Everything

The absence of Jalen Carter was a major reason the Eagles’ defense struggled in their last meeting. The rookie phenom is the anchor of their run defense, and his return should immediately help slow down Giants’ rookie RB Cam Skattebo, who torched Philly for 98 yards and 3 touchdowns in the second half last time.
With Carter back in the trenches, don’t expect Skattebo to repeat that performance.

3. The Eagles’ Offense Is Still Loaded Without A.J. Brown

Even without superstar wideout A.J. Brown, the Eagles are still stacked. Jahan Dotson is expected to be a top target, while John Metchie and a possibly-returning Darius Cooper add more depth and speed.
At center, Brett Toth could make his first NFL start and has had a full week of preparation to clean up mistakes. When the Eagles offense finds its flow, it can score from anywhere on the field.

4. The Giants’ Defense Is Falling Apart

The Giants are in rough shape defensively. They’ll be without cornerback Paulson Adebo and defensive lineman Chauncey Golston, while safety Jevon Holland and Brian Burns are still questionable.
With holes all over the secondary and front line, expect Hurts to exploit the middle of the field — an area where the Eagles’ play-action and RPO game thrive.

5. History Is on Philadelphia’s Side

The Giants haven’t beaten the Eagles in 12 years — not since October 27, 2013. That’s not just a stat; it’s a reminder of dominance. Giants WR Darius Slayton can talk all he wants about “doing it again anywhere,” but both history and the matchup say otherwise.
This rivalry has been one-sided for over a decade — and it’s not changing anytime soon.

Prediction:

After their crushing 33-32 loss to the Broncos, the Giants are desperate to save head coach Brian Daboll’s job. But desperation won’t be enough against a focused, hungry Eagles team ready to fly into their bye week at 6-2.

Final Score: Eagles 27, Giants 20
Philadelphia proves once again why they’re the real powerhouse of the NFC.
