New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles: 5 Bold predictions for Week 12
By Randy Gurzi
1. OBJ makes a game-winning catch
Lost in the New York Giants struggles this season has been the year put up by superstar wide receiver Odell Beckham, Jr. Despite their struggles, he’s averaging nearly 70 receptions and 93.2 yards per game. He looks like the player he was for his first three seasons when he had over 1,300 yards and double-digit touchdowns for three seasons in a row.
That’s encouraging following surgery on his ankle last season that limited him to just four games in 2017. While it hasn’t been enough to get them many wins this season, OBJ has been a solid player. And in close games, he can be a difference maker.
With the Giants playing better and the Eagles struggling, this could wind up being a very close contest. If that remains the case, look for the Giants to go to Beckham late in the game.
Philly has had some issues in the secondary this season. That’s only gotten worse with their health problems, which sets Beckham up for a big day.

Our final bold prediction is that he ends up making one of his highlight-reel catches in the fourth quarter that proves to be the game-winner. New York isn’t likely winning out as they expected, but they keep that hope alive and also play spoiler to the Eagles.
