Transcript

00:02 - Well, there is some reason to believe
00:04 that Philly could keep this team in check.
00:06 What I'm interested in is how the Eagles approach this game.
00:09 You hear this a lot in college football.
00:11 They're gonna ground and pound, control the clock,
00:15 and not allow the opponent to be on the field.
00:18 If the Eagles tonight go run, run, run,
00:22 that's where overbackers on this 51 and a half shot
00:25 would be in trouble here, Leece.
00:27 I think it makes this total difficult to trust.
00:29 - It is, and that's why I lean to Philadelphia
00:32 and the rushing attack.
00:33 I agree 100%, I lean to the under in this ballgame
00:36 because of their ability to run it
00:38 with DeAndre Swift and Jalen Hurts on the ground.
00:41 Let's not forget, Miami really hasn't seen
00:43 a mobile quarterback outside of Josh Allen.
00:45 He didn't run it in that matchup,
00:47 and they got absolutely blown out in that ballgame.
00:49 And again, we talk about the front seven of Philadelphia.
00:52 I'll say it, I know you're two Eagle fans, but I'll say it.
00:55 I believe this is the best defensive front
00:58 in all of the NFL because of Jalen Carter,
01:01 because of Jordan Davis.
01:03 If Miami can run it tonight, I would be impressed
01:07 with that type of performance.
01:08 And again, they would earn credit
01:10 in terms of big picture Super Bowl contender
01:13 with the Kansas City Chiefs,
01:14 but I need to see it before I buy in.
01:16 The one thing that Miami does
01:18 is that they utilize a lot of motion.
01:20 They utilize Devon Achan, who's not in this lineup
01:23 in terms of fly sweeps, get that defense moving
01:26 from sideline to sideline.
01:28 I don't think they're gonna be able to do it today, Donnie,
01:30 and that's why I give the edge
01:31 to the front seven of the Philadelphia Eagles.
01:34 - Yeah, pressure on the quarterback is going to be key here
01:36 for Tua Tagovailoa.
01:37 Now, it looks like his passing number's listed
01:38 at 276 and a half tonight.
01:40 If you take a look at the Philadelphia Eagles' defense,
01:42 only giving up around 230 yards passing per game.
01:44 Tua's actually hit that individual number four
01:47 of the six games out so far.
01:48 But if we are being honest with ourselves,
01:51 it's easy to say Tua Tagovailoa is going to be the exact guy
01:54 that we want to win this football game for the Dolphins,
01:56 but Raheem Mostert, let's just say Mostert
01:58 has 15 carries, 65 yards.
02:00 I think that's all you need to keep that defense honest
02:02 so they can't just pin their ears back
02:04 and rush Tua Tagovailoa.
02:05 Also, take a look at some of these passing props.
02:08 I mean, Tyree, you're not getting any bargains anymore.
02:09 Tyree Kill, 97 and a half yards,
02:11 A.J. Brown, 82 and a half yards.
02:13 There will be big plays tonight,
02:14 but I like where you brought up with the total to the under.
02:16 Most people look at this game and say to themselves,
02:18 okay, Philadelphia Eagles, Miami Dolphins,
02:20 just sign me up on the total
02:21 as long as it's under 60 points here.
02:23 I think that number is spot on right here, Kevin.
