Game day has arrived for the Philadelphia Eagles in a critical Week 9 NFC East showdown against the New York Giants.
The Eagles are looking to break a six-game losing streak, as they are 2-6. New York is coming off a bye after starting the year 4-2-1 and leading the division.
Five bold predictions for the Eagles in the Giants showdown. Will any of these actually happen?
Joe Milton III is going to throw at least two interceptions in first Eagles start
This is Milton's first NFL start, as he has played only six career games for the New England Patriots and the Dallas Cowboys. The team signed him less than a month ago after Jalen Hurts was ruled out for the season with blood clots. Milton replaces Tanner McKee in the starting lineup after McKee lost his only three starts of the season.
In his career, Milton has completed 69.8% of his passes for 424 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions. He also rushed for 66 yards on 15 carries and scored one touchdown.
Milton has fumbled the ball twice in his career and thrown two interceptions, so while he provides a spark for this offense with his rocket arm, he'll make mistakes. Watch for him to get picked off twice in the game.
