A high-profile match between popular squads New York Giants (3-2) and Philadelphia Eagles (2-3) is set at the Lincoln Financial Field on Monday, October 19 as Week 6 of the 2015 NFL season concludes.
The Giants came from behind, 30-27, to beat the hard-luck San Francisco 49ers at the MetLife Stadium last Sunday as quarterback Eli Manning found tight end Larry Donnell for a touchdown with 21 seconds left, as reported by ESPN.
New York has now won three straight after losing their first two of the season.
Meanwhile, the Eagles are also starting to feel good as they trounced the New Orleans Saints, 39-17, at their home stadium also last Sunday, via Yahoo Sports.
Signal caller Sam Bradford and defensive end Fletcher Cox led Philadelphia on both ends of the field for the lopsided victory.
Both teams would want to carry over the momentum of their wins in their Monday night matchup, but the Eagles are starting to play as expected of them, which would make them pull off a close win against the Giants.
Prediction: Eagles win, 28-24.
