Ex-NFL Star Drops Shocking Prediction: This Underdog Is Set to Topple the Giants!

So here we are again—Giants vs. Eagles, a rivalry as electric as a mid-December game under the lights. The Giants come limping into Lincoln Financial Field at 2-5, while Philly’s perched comfortably at 5-2. But hey, if you thought that Week 7 blowout in New York settled the score, think again. That 34-17 thrashing not only rattled the Eagles’ feathers but also stirred up a whole new level of belief in Big Blue, thanks to the surprising firepower of rookie Jaxson Dart and the dynamo Cam Skattebo. Now the question: can the Giants shake off nearly a decade of futility in Philly and pull off what many are calling a “blueprint upset”? Even Richie Incognito’s all in on that idea, predicting a tight one that could flip the script this Sunday. Buckle up, because this clash might just be the spark that ignites a season full of surprises—and who doesn’t love a good upset brew in this league?

The New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles renew their rivalry Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, with the Giants sitting at 2-5 and the Eagles at 5-2.

Two weeks ago at MetLife Stadium, the Giants delivered a statement performance in a 34-17 victory that exposed Philadelphia’s vulnerabilities and raised questions about their postseason credentials.

The Eagles now face the challenge of bouncing back while protecting their playoff positioning, but former NFL guard Richie Incognito believes the Giants possess the tools to sweep the season series.

“I think the Giants have the blueprint to beat them. They got it on Thursday. I love Jaxson Dart. I’m all in on Jaxson Dart. He’s my superstar. You got Scattebo. You got Dart. That was a shot in the arm for them getting that win against the Eagles. They got confidence from that. That’s what they’re playing with,” Incognito said on ‘The Arena: Gridiron’. “They’re gonna hang in there and get a close win. I got Giants 23-21,” Incognito said.

Quarterback Jaxson Dart and running back Cam Skattebo have injected energy into an offense that struggled early in the season, and their Week 7 victory over Philadelphia provided a spark the team desperately needed.

The confidence Incognito references stems from more than just one victory.

Dart’s poise under pressure and Skattebo’s explosive playmaking have transformed New York’s offensive identity in recent weeks.

However, the Giants must address their tendency to falter in closing moments after their Week 8 loss to the Denver Broncos exposed lingering issues with execution down the stretch.

Philadelphia’s 34-17 defeat revealed cracks in their physical identity.

The Eagles have built their reputation on dominating opponents at the line of scrimmage, but the Giants matched that intensity and controlled both sides of the ball.

New York hasn’t won in Philadelphia since 2013, but their recent performance suggests it can end that drought if it maintains the same aggression and discipline on Sunday.
