With an assist from OBJ's interview-buddy Lil Wayne and Tha Carter V, here are five areas to watch as the Philadelphia Eagles take on the New York Giants tonight at 8:20 p.m. ET (watch the game on FOX, NFL Network, or streaming on Amazon Prime Video).

LSHMEAB Posted October 11, 2018 Posted October 11, 2018 I've badly lost two straight primetime games, so as I'm gonna take the Eagles, I suggest you do the opposite. 1

FWIW, Elliot Harrison of NFL.com agrees with you: THURSDAY, OCT. 11 Philadelphia Eagles 23, New York Giants 20 8:20 p.m. ET (FOX/NFL Network/Prime Video) | MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, N.J.) The Giants have lost a game on a 60-plus-yard field goal two years running now. Jake Elliott nailed a 61-yarder last year to best Big Blue in Philadelphia, contributing to a rotten start that devolved into a rotten season. New York once again has faltered out of the gate, starting the season at 1-4. (Heyyyyy, better than last year!) In order to rebound, Eli Manning should take more of the vertical shots that Odell Beckham has been wistfully dreaming about. ... Eagles corners Jalen Mills and Sidney Jones have struggled mightily thus far. Look no further than Adam Thielen's highlight reel last week. For Philadelphia, winning starts with running the football consistently. Make third downs manageable; that area has been a veritable black hole for this team (13 for 38 over the last three games). 1

I don't know how closely you follow betting, but the Giants are definitely the "sharp" side in this game. I'm gonna go against that because I still have confidence in Pederson and that team. Usually trust the numbers and not my opinion, but then again I'm not betting 5K. 1

Game Theory: Why Carson Wentz will get back on track vs. Giants on Thursday Night Football (1:20) Graham is getting up there, although for him to not be in the game even as a back-up does say a lot. 1

LFC24 Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Can't believe bills fans were comparing Allen to Wentz as a rookie Wentz was light years ahead of him in almost every aspect of the game

jkeerie Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 Giants D standing there looking at the ball instead of moving to get it.

Allen is objectivally behind multiple rookie QB's, not only this year but the past few years. Not saying he won't improve but the stats don't lie. I think he is on pace to have one of the worst rookie QB passing stats in history.
Steptide Posted October 12, 2018 Posted October 12, 2018 When are the bills gonna wear the glory years jerseys? Seeing the giants tonight reminds me of it 2
