NFC Divisional Round: Where the Giants line up vs. Eagles (New York Post)

PHILADELPHIA — One team's head coach called plays for the other team's quarterback in college. The two star running backs were college teammates.

The Eagles were 7-2 at home this season and are 6-4 in the playoffs at the Linc since it opened in 2003. The Eagles are in the playoffs for the second straight year under his leadership, after starting 8-0 and 13-1 before Hurts’ injury. The Giants’ season is an unquestioned success, even if it were to end on a blowout loss. The Eagles ranked No. The Eagles have more dynamic returners. The Eagles are susceptible to big kickoff returns (26.1) if Gary Brightwell gets a shot. If edge Azeez Ojulari (quad) is out or limited, the Giants’ best bet is to get a pass rush up the middle with Dexter Lawrence (7.5 sacks) and force Hurts into the dangerous throws he is prone to in the red zone. 5 in rushing (147.6 yards per game), but a lot of that success is dependent on Hurts (760 yards and 13 touchdowns). The Giants ranked No. But the Eagles boast one of the NFL’s best veteran cornerback duos with Darius Slay and James Bradberry, cut by the Giants in May. In his five-year career, Scott has 414 of his 1,209 rushing yards, 222 of his 514 receiving yards and 10 of 17 touchdowns against the Giants, as three different defensive coordinators have let the diminutive scat-back punch above his weight class. How much is because the Colts stink and the Vikings (faced twice) leave receivers wide open in soft zone coverage?

Countdown to Kickoff: Giants vs. Eagles Round 3 (Sports Illustrated)

The Giants hope the third time is a charm while the Eagles are looking to take care of business.

-This is only the third time that the Eagles and Giants have met in the postseason. Of his 17 career TDs, 10 of them have come against New York and the Eagles have begun almost trolling the Giants by game-planning to get him in the end zone. John is also the host of his own show "Football 24/7” and a daily contributor to ESPN South Jersey. 1 seeds since the playoff restructuring in 1990, the Giants are a perfect 6-0. New York beat Philadelphia, 27-21, in December of 1981 and the Eagles won 23-20 on Jan. 1 seeds is the longest by any franchise since the NFL began seeding playoff teams in 1975. The tropes - It’s it really hard to beat a team three times in one season? Kelce, a first-team All-Pro, is obviously a much tougher test but when the future Hall of Famer does struggle, it’s against bigger bodies. The Eagles’ offense will return to the zone-read mechanics that make it so difficult to stop, and Hurts will be given the green light to pull the football and threaten the back side. Giants QB Daniel Jones - Jones played perhaps his best game as a pro against a poor Vikings defense and comes in with confidence. No nose tackle in football can collapse the pocket like the 6-foot-4, 345-pound Lawrence and when Kelce does struggle, it’s usually against bigger bodies. The Eagles are intent on keeping the status quo.
