Will the third time be the charm for the Giants?
The Eagles have had Big Blue’s number for years. The Giants badly want to change that Saturday night in Philadelphia when the teams meet for a third time this season. This one feels different, though. The Giants are a much improved and healthier team from the first time they played the Eagles in December. And the last game of the season, they did not play their starters. This team is riding momentum and a QB that is playing at an elite level. This should be a primetime thriller in the City of Brotherly Love.
To give an in-depth preview of the Giants-Eagles NFC Divisional Round playoff matchup, we bring you a new episode of the “Blue Rush” podcast with Brandon London, Lawrence Tynes and Paul Schwartz. Brandon also spoke with Giants OL Evan Neal and LB Jihad Ward in the locker room after a practice this week. It’s a jam-packed episode that you can listen to below, wherever you get podcasts or watch the full show below on the New York Post Sports YouTube page.
Blue Rush Podcast with Lawrence Tynes, Paul Schwartz & Brandon London:
- HOUSE MONEY: The Giants won’t ever say that. This is the last team the Eagles wanted to play. The Giants are riding a ton of momentum into this game after the win in Minnesota. The Eagles come in rested, but not with the momentum. Giants are coming in healthy outside of Azeez Ojulari, who is still likely to play.
- EVAN NEAL INTERVIEW: Reflecting on the rookie class this year and how far it has come and grown. Proud of Daniel Jones this season and the confidence he has developed as the season has gone on.
- JIHAD WARD INTERVIEW: Great to see how well the rookies have played. Looking forward to Saturday. Loves to compete.
- GIANTS-EAGLES KEY MATCHUPS: Giants defense against Dallas Goedert. He will be a big challenge for them. Jason Kelce vs. Dexter Lawrence will be a must-watch matchup. Tynes believes Jalen Hurts is still banged up and it will be intriguing to see how Wink Martindale attacks the QB.
- KNOW YOUR ENEMY: NBC Sports Philadelphia Eagles analyst Barrett Brooks comes back to the show to give the Philly perspective of the matchup and what the Eagles will watch out for in this game.
- GAME PREDICTIONS: Can the Giants pull off the upset? Tynes is taking the Giants 24-20. Brandon is also taking the Giants. Paul is picking the Eagles by a touchdown.
