The Eagles will be going back to Kevin Kolb this week as they travel to the Jags place as a PHI-3 raod fav. Personally I am shocked that Philly is a fav let alone a -3 fav in this game. I know the Jags have had their problems but the Eagles are 0-2 SU and ATS vs the Jags and were favorites BOTH times. I'll jump on the home dogs here and take the Jags+3(-120) pts. The Eagles have never fared well vs the AFC and especially vs the AFC South teams(with the exception of Houston-an expantion team). I'll gladly take the home dog here and watch as Kevin Kolb gets smoked by the Jags defense. If Vick comes into the game to replace Kolb it might swing things the Eagles way but barring an injury I feel that Reid is committed to having Kolb get this game under his belt. That is good enough for me to back the Jags... and I have been an Eagles fan for a long, long time now.

Pick = Jacksonville+3(-120)

My Guesstimate = Jacksonville-24 Philadelphia-23

VICK will be starting....just was on the news....

I will take -3 all day!!! 

Philly!!!

Thanks... Well, ole Andy Reid is quite the bullshit artist isn't he. He was swearing by Kolb yesterday.

I don't usually post, but it wasn't Reid's bullshit, t'was brass/ownership trumping his call.  Reid already proclaimed Kolb as starter even as early on game day this past Sunday... now he's suddenly addressing America about the politically correct thing to do, giving 2nd chances and paying dues to society yada yada yada.

This is all great...and sounds like a PR move.  But... from a game stand point, it's the right move.  Vick stands a better chance of negotiating and making decisions on the fly behind a weak offensive line... so to me, the positive offsets that negative... whereby I don't think Kolb would stand a chance in this position (if anything, maybe him starting would land him another concussion sadly).  The Vick factor alone should be able to break any perceived stalemate in this one.    

So the Vick change is a PR move made by those above Reid... and strategically, it's the right one.  I'm sure he's content both ways.  Just my silly 2 cents.  Thanks.

I wouldn't be surprised if you hit the score of this game perfectly.

I AM ON THE VICK TRAIN BABY, ITS LIKE THE OLD DAYS EXCEPT THE EAGLES ARE BETTER THAN THE FALCONS WERE BACK THEN.  THE GUY HAS NOTHING TO LOSE AND EVERYTHING TO GAIN RIGHT NOW, THAT IS A RECIPE FOR EXTREME SUCCESS.  ITS GOING TO BE LIKE WILLIE BEAMIN'S "INVISIBLE JUICE" AND THE DEFENDERS JUST CANT TOUCH HIM.....

PHILADELPHIA -3

I agree, too much hype, I will fade the public and take the home dog

Jax +3

PHILLY -3!!!!

Why are the adds here covering part of my post? I have seen it elsewhere on Covers site as well.

Jacksonville Jaguars +3

Philadelphia - 27                       Jacksonville - 21

Eagles -3                             over 45

Going with the birds to fly out of Jacksonville with a "W".

Eagles snap an 0-3 ATS streak vs the Jags.

I see their defense playing a little better especially after giving up 32 to  the Lions.
