What life looked like the last time the Giants were road favorites vs. the Eagles

The New York Giants are road betting favorites against the Philadelphia Eagles for the first time in 17 years. The last time oddsmakers favored the Giants at Lincoln Financial Field was November 1, 2009, when Philadelphia ultimately defeated New York 40-17. The upcoming Week 9 contest marks the end of a historic betting drought for the franchise in Philadelphia.

To contextualize the passage of time, the article notes that Bitcoin, Instagram, and Stephen Curry's NBA career had not yet taken off in late 2009. Additionally, current Giants head coach John Harbaugh was only in his second season leading the Baltimore Ravens, and the Pittsburgh Steelers were reigning Super Bowl champions.
