NFL Week 6 kicks off with a NFC East clash between the desperate Giants and division leading Eagles. Here are my same game multi tips for this massive Friday matchup.
Philadelphia Eagles (4-1) at New York Giants (1-4)
The Eagles come off their first loss of the season, and it would've hurt. They went down 21-17 against the Broncos as their offence failed to score 20+ pts for the first time this season. But I don't think that will be an issue against the struggling Giants.
Meanwhile, the Giants are looking to the future with QB Jaxson Dart under centre. After a huge win over the Chargers, he struggled to get going against the Saints last week with 2 picks. It won't get any easier against a fired up Eagles D.
Leg #1 - Eagles -6.5
The trends say blowout on Friday as the Eagles look far too strong for the Giants. Philly won't be happy about last week's loss and will likely come out firing, especially on defence. I don't think rookie Jaxson Dart will have the skills to match their pass rush. Philadelphia also owns the Giants in this divisional rivalry as they've won 7 of the last 8 meetings. Playing on the road isn't an issue, the Eagles are 7-1 ATS.
Leg #2 - Saquon Barkley Anytime Touchdown Scorer
Saquon takes on his former side and he should be able to punch one in. In his 5 games this season, he's scored a rushing or receiving TD in 4 of 5. Last week, was his lowest run carries with 6 but he's previously been getting around 18 per game. Even in a quiet rushing game, he caught a TD against the Broncos and averages around 4 catches per game.
Leg #3 - Jalen Hurts 200+ Passing Yards
Hurts is coming off a season high in passing yards (280) and the momentum should continue into Week 6. New York's defensive unit has allowed the 24th worst passing yards this season, with 237 per game. They let up 225 passing yards against Saints QB Spencer Rattler last week, so Hurts should have similar success, if not more.

Eagles -6.5 / Saquon Barkley Anytime Touchdown Scorer / Jalen Hurts 200+ Passing Yards = $5.25
Value Leg - DeVonta Smith Anytime Touchdown Scorer
With Hurts throwing the ball more last week, Smith was his favourite target. He had 8 catches from 10 targets, which resulted in 114 receiving yards. While he didn't catch a TD, the matchup against the Giants defence is a whole lot better. Also, when he was targeted 9 times against the Chargers in Week 3, he came away with a TD.
