00:00So let's start with your, of course, Eagles.
00:05We have to start with them first because you're such a homer for the Eagles.
00:09Yeah.
00:10Well, this is a one o'clock game in Tampa and this is the site of where they got smoked
00:14and embarrassed in the playoffs at Raymond James Stadium against the Bucs.
00:18Now they did beat them in week three last year, rather handily, but in the playoffs
00:23as you know, they were in the midst of their six out of seven losses and it was awful.
00:28They now have changed both coordinators, Vic Fangio had a great game plan against the Saints
00:32last week.
00:33Just phenomenal.
00:34Boy, did they shut that zone running game down of the Saints.
00:38And now when you look at the Bucs, by the way, they're coming from terrible home loss
00:42against the Broncos.
00:43They were awful.
00:44In fact, they never led in that game.
00:46Now, what I find fascinating is, first of all, the line opened up, the number opened
00:50up at the Eagles and we're going to get into their injury situation, which is significant.
00:55Their Eagles were minus two and a half.
00:57Okay, now it's down to one and a half.
00:58Again, a disclaimer, it always depends on what book you're looking at, but right now
01:02it's about one and a half and the total is 43 and a half.
01:07The Bucs could not move the ball last week.
01:09They only had seven points.
01:10The Eagles couldn't score.
01:11So the under is the play there.
01:13If you're looking at a number, it's obviously it's under.
01:15Now, why do I say that?
01:17Let's get to the Eagles' issues on offense.
01:20A.J. Brown has his hamstring injury.
01:22Scott, he hasn't practiced in nearly three weeks.
01:25He got hurt prior to the Atlanta game on a Saturday practice.
01:30He's not practiced since then.
01:32It's highly unlikely he plays tomorrow's last day of practice.
01:35Here's the other problem.
01:36Devontae Smith, their other great receiver, making $25 million a year, unfortunately had
01:41that concussion where he got hit by two players, as you saw.
01:45So that does worry me a little bit.
01:48And then Lane Johnson's got the concussion.
01:50So Scott, how in the world are the Eagles a favorite here in this game?
01:55I don't know.
01:56I don't know.
