00:00Talking about the Eagles versus the Bengals and Tom presented a great question.
00:07Does this two and a half spread in 46 and a half total tell us more about the Bengals
00:11or tell us more about the Eagles?
00:13Something you can chat with us about over on social that's at sports grid.
00:16But before we went to the break, I was just saying how much the Bengals defense kind of
00:20concerns me.
00:21We saw the Eagles have that narrowish escape from the Browns, but I feel like the Bengals
00:25are probably like that much better in a sense of consistency, not to offend the Bengals,
00:30but I feel like this is a spot where we'll figure out what the Eagles actually can deliver.
00:34They've got some strong pieces on defense.
00:36So I feel like they outmatch the Bengals, but the Bengals have started to kind of solve
00:41some things as of late.
00:42So how would you even engage this game on the spread and the total?
00:46I want to say the Eagles.
00:47I think that is the side that I'm like most interested in and I would say in theory most
00:52confident in just because again, what they're looking good.
00:56We have to take the last two games in context against the Giants and the Browns like two
01:00of the worst teams in the league, but I think they're starting to figure things out.
01:04Obviously, there's a ton to say about their play calling on offense and what they're doing.
01:09But if Saquon is going to be this good and he can run for a hundred yards and they still
01:13have a they got AJ Brown back.
01:15They got Devonta Smith back.
01:16They're both fully healthy.
01:18If we have seen the Bengals or defense that is get torn apart by opposing offenses dating
01:23back to the game.
01:24We did with against the commanders of Jaden Daniels like the Eagles should be scoring
01:28in this matchup.
01:29They really really should be scoring and there's this stat out there from last week that they're
01:34the only team that hasn't scored in the first quarter or whatever it is getting back X amount
01:38of opening drives in first quarter.
01:40So it may actually be Eagles second half team total because they don't know what to do in
01:45the first quarter.
01:46So the second half team total and Eagles plus two and a half.
01:49I think that's more of a lean right now than the natural pick.
01:52I like that actually quite a bit but good point on that.
01:55That's why I feel like it's going to probably tell us more about the Eagles at the end of
01:58the day.
01:59They have the ability to be better on both sides of the ball.
02:02That's the way I like to look at that one.
