00:00And I think it's appropriate we get to what I think is the biggest narrative bounce back
00:07spot you will see all season long.
00:11Saquon against the Giants, you knew that that was going to draw attention.
00:15Yeah.
00:16Saquon against the Giants, coming off of obviously his worst game as an Eagle, he doesn't get
00:22to 50 yards.
00:23It was the first time he was held under 80 in the receiving game, did nothing, kept out
00:29of the end zone for two straight games now.
00:32And goes up against the Giants.
00:34Defense that is very banged up.
00:38We know Thibodeau is out, okay?
00:39Dexter Lawrence and Brian Burns slapped with questionable tags.
00:44I know inactive reports are kind of pouring out here.
00:47It looks like they're going to play, but it shows that they're not at 100%.
00:50And again, I'm not sure any of that matters, because quite frankly, you could put, I don't
00:57know, the purple curtain out there is out, a steel curtain, whatever.
00:59The purple people eaters.
01:00Purple people eaters.
01:01There we go.
01:02Combine the two of them.
01:03Combine the two of them.
01:04Really good defense.
01:05And people would be betting Saquon Barkley, through his totals, any time, two plus, three
01:11plus here.
01:12I am starting specifically on that angle, and then we can get to the rest of the game.
01:17What do you think about Saquon Barkley in this spot?
01:19I think he gets multiple touchdowns.
01:21I do.
01:22I think they're going to feed him the rock, not just on the ground, but in the passing
01:25attack as well.
01:26I think get him out in space and allow him to eat and showcase why he's with the Eagles
01:30and the Giants didn't want to pay him.
01:32I honestly believe that.
01:34I think they open up the offense.
01:36They were a little conservative, Kev, last week, coming out of the bye week.
01:39Maybe it was because of Devontae and A.J. Brown just coming back for the first game
01:43after the long layoff, but they looked out of sync.
01:46I think this game, you'll get the best version of the Eagles from an offensive perspective,
01:51Donnie.
01:52I like the over.
01:53We could break it down.
01:54I think the Eagles definitely implement Saquon in that regard.
01:57Here's the one thing the Eagles have to do, and it's something every single team in the
02:00NFL has done.
02:01Scored in the first quarter.
02:02Eagles haven't done that yet.
02:03That's absolutely flat out embarrassing, and that's supposed to be when you're doing your
02:05scoring because you have your scripted plays in, which means I studied this defense all
02:09week long.
02:10Here's the best place to attack it, and I want to see how it looks on paper.
02:12You're supposed to go down the field and score.
02:14They haven't done that yet.
02:15That's checkpoint number one.
02:16The number two, how do they handle with Jordan Mailata?
02:18Your superstar left tackle is not going to play in this football game, and you do have
02:21a very good pass rush for the Giants.
02:23They went about their linebackers in secondary.
02:25They can get home, and then Sexy Dexy in the middle absolutely creating havoc, but you
02:29are right about this.
02:30If you're playing the narrative, you can't guarantee that, you know, Saquon Barkley's
02:33going to have a good football game.
02:34You can guarantee you get a ball 15, 20 times.
02:36How many yards does that equate?
02:37But the one thing I do know, and it usually operates this way, I understand the tush-push
02:42is what the Philadelphia Eagles do when they're inside the one-yard line, but sometimes it
02:46means bigger because they understand if you're reading the tea leaves this week for how Saquon
02:49is treating this game, hey, like, I hope they don't, like, boo me.
02:53I like my time as a Giants.
02:54I know the Giants fans like me, but you go to a rival.
02:56They're going to maybe clap for you in the pregame, boo the hell out of you during this
03:00football game, but let it be known how much it would mean to Saquon Barkley as your franchise
03:04running back that's going to be in Philadelphia for a couple years if I'm on the one-yard
03:07line.
03:08I need that football.
03:09I need to score in this game.
03:10Absolutely.
03:11I'll set you up with this, Kevin.
03:12The one thing from the spread perspective, it is a little fishy of a line, right?
03:17Because think about this.
03:18The Cowboys laid five and a half on Thursday night.
03:21They didn't cover, right?
03:23At that particular time, Cowboys were looked at as a dominant team.
03:26The Eagles won.
03:27They just didn't cover against Cleveland.
03:29I think you're talking about a team in the New York Giants that were catching three and
03:33a half against Cincinnati.
03:34You're telling me the Eagles shouldn't be laying more even though it's a divisional
03:37game?
03:38They've lost three straight at home, three straight to the under here.
03:42I'm not betting it, meaning the side, and I know you're happy.
03:46I lean to the Eagles, but I really love the over.
03:49I think they throw the kitchen sink at the ...
