In Week 6’s prime time, the Philadelphia Eagles (4-1) head to MetLife Stadium to face the struggling New York Giants (1-4) under the lights. Kickoff is 8:15 p.m. ET. All eyes will be on Jalen Hurts, former Giant Saquon Barkley, and rookie QB Jaxson Dart making a return.
(Odds may shift leading up to kickoff, so be sure to double-check closer to game time.)
Thursday Night Football Game Preview
- Philadelphia Eagles:
Philly comes off its first loss of the season and will be determined to bounce back. The offense has struggled at times to find rhythm, especially with reported tension among receivers, but Hurts remains the engine. Barkley’s familiarity with New York’s defense adds intrigue. On defense, coordinator Vic Fangio will test Dart with disguises and aggressive looks. Eagles also get Nakobe Dean returning from injury, bolstering linebacker depth. - New York Giants:
The Giants’ QB situation is murky — Jaxson Dart had a hamstring issue but has reportedly been upgraded to full participation. Their receiving corps is thin with Darius Slayton and others limited or out. Still, NYG may lean heavier on the run and quick passes to ease pressure. Cam Skattebo has shown flashes. The defense must force mistakes and keep this within reach. - Storylines:
- Barkley facing his old team.
- Can Hurts and Philly’s offense shake off the rust?
- Dart managing injury, limited WRs, and pressure.
- Eagles’ defensive adjustments against a rookie QB.

Possible Prop Bets & Player Predictions
Here are some prop bets I like, given matchup dynamics:
| Player Prop | Prediction |
|---|---|
| Jalen Hurts Over 196.5 Passing Yards | The Giants’ secondary is vulnerable, and Hurts has passed for at least 200 in recent weeks. |
| Saquon Barkley Over 84.5 Rushing Yards | Giants rank among the worst against the run; Barkley could exploit that, especially with motivation. |
| A.J. Brown Over 64.5 Receiving Yards | Brown is due for a bounce-back, and NYG has struggled vs. WRs. |
| Cam Skattebo Anytime TD | With NYG likely tapping their ground game, Skattebo is a mid-tier value pick in the red zone. |
| Jaxson Dart Under 195.5 Passing Yards | Given limited targets and pressure, Dart may not hit big passing yardage. |
TNF Same-Game Parlay Idea (High Risk / Higher Reward)
- Eagles −7.5
- Hurts Over 196.5 Passing Yards
- Barkley Over 84.5 Rushing Yards
This parlay leans hard on Philly dominating through both air and ground — big upside if all three hit.
Final Game Score Prediction – Thursday Night Football
Eagles 24, Giants 13 — Eagles cover the −7.5, and the total leans Under 40.5. Best bets: Eagles −7.5 and Hurts Over 196.5.
