They're the defending champs, albeit not having a great season, playing a back-up QB, banged up line, ect. Public perception is the biggest factor in setting lines. Right now, the public's perception of Philly isn't great so if the line is that high it's probably accurate.

As per our 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush said:
"There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on -- shame on you. A fooled man can't get fooled again." 
Eagles didn't cover last time? The Eagles will cover this time. 
Get'em while they're cheap at -6.

i dont know if the Eagles will be getting up more for this game or the Cowboys. my guess is they'll be caught looking ahead a little to get revenge on the boys for an earlier home loss and not care as much about the Skins with McCoy in. Skins had extra days rest and prep time. the Eagles almost lost to the Giants so i dont think theyre in the clear yet. if Skins are able to run the ball on Eagles run D which i think has beem a bit susceptible as of late and Skins D force a few turnovers they have a shot to cover this game. eagles d ranked 7th in total rush yds but 25th yards per carry allowed at 4.9 yards?
Sip on that plus money honey!

Now take your time and a deep breath go back to first post cause I know you can read.......see now was that not easy? The 1st post is from last Sunday night when my book(New Jersey) came out at 7.5 I am always one to never land on hook so bought it to +8...feel me?

Bigjc. I would like to interject some rational thought on buying points as it puts the gambler at a horrible disadvantage when doing so. As it is typical that purchasing a half point will cost you an additional 10% of your wager (double that to an additional 20% for a total of 30% juice on or off the 3 or the 7), it puts the gambler in the situation where he will need to land on his "payout" or "push" numbers a highly unrealistic percentage of the time when compared to the true odds of the event.
Regardless of the vig boost, the expected value of your bet drops dramatically and is at the worst when buying on/off the 3 or 7. In the case of the 3 or 7, your "payout or push" number must land an absurd 30% or more on the number to show a profit. Most seasoned gamblers understand the implications of the math involved here but your statements above to EuroPro makes me think otherwise. The key word in your sentence ("seems"), makes me think you are not keeping track of how much money buying points has cost you in your lifetime (it's a lot).
If you want to maximize profits, find a book that will allow you to sell points back (5dimes). This lesson is now over. Good luck if you continue down your unprofitable path.

We can address this later when the game falls on 7 or 6. Like I said I start with a 10k bank roll with $200 to $500 wagers and it "seems" to be doing ok ++++
