I feel like they’re going to win, but I don’t see how they win by almost two touchdowns. That’s absolutely a Giants line. 

If we play up to our abilities and not down to our opponents, we can definitely win by 2 TDs. But that little word 'if' isn't such a little word. Especially in a divisional game.

Feels like the Eagles haven’t been able to separate themselves from any opponents this season. It’s hard to just call it playing down to an opponent when it’s basically how they play. Also for well over a month they have been ridiculously poor in the 2nd quarter. I’d like for this to be the game that bucks that trend.

We have no linebackers....

I'm taking the Eagles an I am taking them to cover. Anyone wants a signature bet, hit me up

And just like that it looks like the Geeky Giants will win. Embarassing!

I knew I should have put money on the Giants +12. I saw the score at the end and knew I should have gone with my gut.

The Bonus pick results this week had the following winners:

@Iggles_Phan with "Christmas will come no matter what."
@jamiller who got a by the skin of his teeth win with "Keely with an INT"
@Outlaw who also got a teeth skinner with "Ringo with an INT"
@Utebird who also has shinny teeth, with "Ringo gets his 1st INT"
@eagle45 with "Eagles play just well enough that the game never feels close and just sloppy enough that we don’t feel any better about them getting it together."
@LeanMeanGM with "Boston Scott has no TD’s and no rushes or receptions over 10 yards"
@pisceschica gets full credit for "Hurts with a pick 6"
@Diehardfan with "Hurts throws another pick" although Goedert and/or Brian Johnson deserve the credit for that boner.
@Godfather with "QB1 keeps adding to his INTs and fumbles" with the same caveat as @Diehardfan got 
@Swoop with "Hurts with a fumble" but fortunately Hurts didn't lose that fumble this time.
@Eldereagle1 with "Jake Elliott to the rescue as the Eagles allow at least one turnover and let the Giants hang around until the end in a sloppy contest characterized by the Giants playing loose against a team that is not having fun right now."
@opa-opa with "Another ugly win"
@Alphagrand with "Leonard leads defense in tackles"
@EricAllenPick6 with "Eagles lose the turnover battle again."

An Honorable mention goes to

@bpac55 with "Saquon goes for 150  One of Ringo/Ricks/Brown causes a turnover." Saquan didn't actually go for 150, but it sure felt like he did.

There were a few Bonus picks that fell into the "I'm not sure" category.  They were as follows.  If anyone can provide clarity on the true outcome of these I'm sure everyone will be glad to get that input.

@eglz1 with "Eagles pull their heads out"
@paco with "Did you know Eagles fans threw snowballs at Santa?  I think they are going to mention that obscure fact"
@Iggles25 with "The nightmare continues"

And a special Negadelphian shout out goes to

@Talkingbirds for "Unless Cowboys lose.  Then Eagles blow lead in last minute of game by Giants Hail Mary pass."
@Mortimer with "Eagles go for two point conversion to win it, but Hurts trips and is sacked."

The 84 submitted predictions in high to low score order were as follows:
