The Giants’ defense has “owned” the Eagles’ offense the past few seasons and the intent is to stop it once again. There are a couple of weak links on the offensive line due to injury, and the Steve Spagnuolo defense will try to exploit that area, along with the expected absence of TE L.J. Smith (back).

Offensively, the Giants like to run first, then pass, but a change of pace might be in store this week, as coordinator Kevin Gilbride pounds the Eagles’ defense with his big-back combination of Brandon Jacobs and Derrick Ward, who have 1,117 yards and eight TDs between them. They run behind one of the best offensive lines in the league, especially the right side of T Kareem McKenzie and G Chris Snee.
