NFL Week 7: Thursday Night Showdown

GAME MATCHUP

Giants at Eagles

Both teams have decent rushing defenses although the Eagles have been a little below their expectations this year so far.  Overall it should be a game that is a struggle for big plays on offense so finding the best volume guys is the path tonight over chasing someone who is cheap that could score.  With so many injuries on the Eagles side of the ball Boston Scott becomes the most obvious play on the Showdown slate and is hard to ignore.

BETS:  Eagles -4.5 and Under 45

 

CAPTAIN’S CHOICE

It’s also one of those weird games where both defenses and kickers are viable plays and out of those four, Jake Elliott (K, Eagles) is the safest play out of that mix, however the volume which the RB should get will make them the logical plays in this game.  For the Eagles, Carson Wentz is my guy tonight though with the Giants being so good lately against the rushing game for teams.
