Marquee Week 3 Matchup: Eagles vs. Giants

Eagles QB Michael Vick left last week's game against the Atlanta Falcons after a vicious hit, in which he was clocked and then fell awkwardly into his own lineman. He struggled to stand and then spit blood as he walked to the sideline. It goes to show the toughness of professional athletes, however, as Vick has been all but cleared to play this weekend. In a fierce rivalry, Vick's Eagles will face Eli Manning and the Giants in a conference matchup.

With Vick healthy and the triple threat of RB LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson and Jeremey Maclin, the Eagles will simply be too much to handle. The offensive weapons on the Giants side of the ball pale in comparison, and the Eagles defense is much stronger. The 7.5-point spread should be easily covered by the Eagles as they run out to an early lead.
