00:00Uh, is it right that the Eagles have not scored a point in the first quarter all season?
00:07I mean, that seems not a single point.
00:10That seems insane.
00:11I know.
00:12Yeah, go ahead.
00:13Well, it's funny.
00:14We were, you know, I had shows over the weekend here on the grid and we were talking about
00:18that in terms of how do we bet this game?
00:20Now, I was in favor of the Bengals.
00:23I was on the Bengals money line, the Bengals minus two and a half.
00:26Obviously, they were beaten down a big way.
00:28I think a big part of that was no T Higgins being available, but the Eagles, they absolutely
00:31smacked him around.
00:32But it was all right.
00:33If you don't trust the spread one way or the other and you don't have a firm feel on who's
00:39going to win the game, then yeah, let's look at some trends.
00:41And a remarkable trend is that, as you said, the Eagles have not scored a single first
00:47quarter point.
00:48And the Bengals going into that game yesterday were one of the best defenses in the first
00:52quarter, only allowing not even, I think, three points per fourth first quarter over
00:57the course of the year.
00:59And it was the first quarter line of, I think, nine and a half points.
01:02And so that just felt like a, uh, an autoplay on the under and you get the one touchdown
01:08from Cincinnati and that was it hits again.
01:11And so it's definitely something to pay attention to going forward.
01:13I don't know what it is with the slow start, but the Eagles, they don't seem to wake up
01:17offensively until quarter number two.
