00:00 We finish with the Monday night football finale in Tampa Bay.
00:07 It's the Eagles and the Buccaneers like the first game of the weekend
00:11 with the top wild card seed in the AFC in Cleveland is a road favorite
00:15 against the AFC South divisional champ in Houston.
00:19 Same story to end out super wild card weekend on Monday night.
00:23 The Eagles the top wild card see that five spot in the NFC a road favorite
00:28 in Tampa against the NFC South divisional champ the Buccaneers who won
00:33 the division for a third consecutive season over under is 43 and a half.
00:38 Of course Joe the birds do not enter playing their best football
00:42 when they figure it out against Tampa Bay to start off the postseason.
00:46 This is an ugly, ugly game.
00:49 It is the most it is without a doubt the ugliest of ugly here this this first
00:54 opening week of the playoffs here. What can you say about the Eagles
00:58 besides them down the stretch going one in five straight up 0 and 6 against
01:02 the number and somehow me cashing the under 11 and a half win total on
01:06 the Eagles this year. I still have no idea how that happened.
01:09 But kudos the luck is run out injuries are the big concern on both sides
01:15 of the ball here, right? That's really what exactly are we going to get
01:20 from Jalen Hurts with a dislocated finger right and who the hell is he
01:24 throwing to AJ Brown? Is he going to see not Devon Smith and going to
01:28 last game? Is he going to be good enough? Are you going to have to rely
01:31 solely on on trying to run the ball which quite honestly is the best part
01:36 of that defense of Tampa. This is just a terrible game, which is why my
01:41 first look and first bet on this game was towards the under at 43 and a
01:46 half 44 because quite honestly, I don't know how we're getting some points
01:51 here. Baker may feel totally banged up, but it's not going to stop him
01:55 from trying to take advantage of that porous Eagles secondary there. So
02:00 Mike Evans has been an immovable force all season long. It's not like that
02:05 Eagle secondary has been fantastic here down the stretch that defense has
02:10 a lot of holes in it because of injuries here. So I think it's a one
02:14 score game one way or the other. The only way I would look is maybe Tampa
02:19 and maybe tease them up because I don't think this is going to be a runaway
02:24 or a blowout for the Eagles. I also don't think it comes anywhere close to
02:28 the 43 and a half 44 points.
02:30 Mhm.
02:32 Mhm.
