Jalen Hurts, Brandon Graham and Eagles

Jalen Hurts and the Eagles are 7-point favorites coming home to face the Giants after a needed rest of a win over the Vikings last Sunday.
The Eagles are also depleted at the position. During the offseason, Josh Sweat left in free agency, Graham retired and Bryce Huff was traded. Then once the season started, Nolan Smith went on injured reserve with a triceps injury, as did Ogbo Okoronkwo (his injury is season ending).
