I haven't seen that much movement without someone being benched, injured, etc.

Odd.

In several of the NFL ratings systems, the Eagles are looked at more favorably than their win/loss record would suggest

Here's a link to Football Outsiders, where the Eagles are still rated Top 5 in the league

If you look at the Sagarin ratings, again we see higher rankings for the team's performance than the W/L would indicate. Here the Eagles come in at number 13 in the league and only 1 slot below the Vagiants. Tough schedule too

Sagarin ratings suggest Eagles should be favored by 1 at home


Its not unusual for a team with a rookie QB to "lose" games they could have won, its part of the maturation process.
Only looking at W/L is often too binary, gotta dig deeper and maybe that offers a hint as to why the line has moved on this game.

Or it could be none of the above; plenty of allegedly smarter betting degenerates on this board.

Good Luck

11/14 games are either wins or losses by one score.

all due to lane being back imo.

Well, if that drive's any indication ....

i'd prefer not to think that's what this season could have looked like.

from a gambling perspective it's simple: line opens at 3 with most people thinking the eagles suck and that the giants "need" this game. those with more perspective see lane coming back, eli historically sucking against the eagles especially in prime time, and realize a team that "needs" to win probably isn't very good.
