Philadelphia got a taste of what a successful no-huddle offense looks like in the NFL last week against Denver, when Peyton Manning carved up the defense in a 52-20 setback. They failed to cover the 10-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (72) was profitable news for OVER bettors. Michael Vick started out strong for Kelly in the first two weeks with a total of eight touchdowns but slumped to a combined 27-for-57 for 449 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in the last two weeks. The Eagles insist they are moving forward defensively and will get a chance to prove that against turnover-prone New York.

In their last action, New York was a 31-7 loser on the road against the Chiefs. They failed to cover the 3.5-point spread as underdogs, while the combined score (38) was profitable news for UNDER bettors.
Manning is leading the league with nine interceptions through four games, part of New York’s NFL-high 16 turnovers. Some of that is due to poor pass protection, which figures to get a little better with veteran David Diehl scheduled to make his first start of the season at right guard on Sunday. The Giants are dealing with a slew of injuries on the defensive side, with tackles Linval Joseph, Cullen Jenkins and Shaun Rogers missing from or limited at practice this week and cornerbacks Corey Webster, Jayron Hosley and Aaron Ross all dealing with injuries.
