The Philadelphia Eagles travel to MetLife Stadium to take on the New York Giants in a key Week 6 Thursday Night Football clash. The game features star quarterback Jalen Hurts leading a strong 4-1 Eagles squad against rookie passer Jaxson Dart, who continues to find his rhythm with an injury-hit Giants roster.
Both teams enter the matchup dealing with notable absences, and how each side manages its depth could shape the outcome.

Prediction
The Eagles’ depth and experience make them heavy favorites. Expect Jalen Hurts to deliver another efficient outing, mixing passing precision with ground control. Jaxson Dart should show flashes, but will face consistent pressure behind a patchwork offensive line.
The Eagles come into this matchup with the deeper, healthier roster and one of the league’s most balanced offenses. The Giants, on the other hand have suffered so far this season and its evident from their record.
They have won just one game in the first five weeks. Meanwhile, the Eagles are at the top of the NFC East table with four wins and just one loss.
