......PYo Irish what up man. I am back again this year, at least until I get my behind kicked enough to bail on the season. Not bad so far this year but too early to feel good. I almost hate writing my thoughts cause when I do the losses usually start to pile up on me.
I have to disagree with the Eagles being good against the run in the past. I am Philly born, raised, and still live here. I used to be a fan until I started seriously gambling. And I remember sitting there watching the games and screaming why cant they tackle anybody? The only LB names I can remember are Mark Simoneau, Carlos Emmons, Barry Gardner, and that beast with a guitar Dhani Jones. Trotter was tough for a year or two, but the run defense was weak even when their defense was considered pretty good.
The secondary was all they had for many years in the early 2000s, while the middle was soft and got gashed constantly. And they had a pass rush then too. When Jim Johnson died and Andy's era ended, it all really fell apart and hasnt been rebuilt that well since.
I really cannot see this being a low scoring game unless both teams' offensive units are totally flat and inept.
The Eagles secondary is garbage and the Colts will not need to run the ball. Andrew Luck will do all the running they need to keep moving.
The Colts, who ARE historically terrible against the run, should get gashed by the run tonight even with a patchwork offensive line leading the way.
The Eagles fast pace should give the Colts a few more possessions than a normal game too.
I cant pick a side, the last with the ball will probably win and cover. If i had to I would take the points.
I really hate that the line movement says stay away from the over. It also seems to say to take the Eagles. Current underdog trends say Eagles too. But I only think the Eagles win in a high scoring game, and I can see a 30-27 final. Can it get to at least 27-24 with either team going on a final drive to tie or win? It could be there by the 3rd quarter. Guess thats why its called gambling.
I will take the public side and am going in on over 53. Good luck
