00:07in first but by just a half game in front of the washington commanders washington is seven and
00:14three the eagles are seven and two number one spot in the nfc east will be decided based on
00:20the outcome of thursday night drs what more could you ask for on a thursday to kick off week 11
00:27absolutely nothing you got really good weather too it's going to be cooler chilly conditions
00:31in philadelphia no real precipitation in the forecast you take a look at light wind so we
00:34should have a clean slate here and also you don't have those huge travel demands ben right you see
00:38a team from minnesota fly out to los angeles on a thursday washington to philadelphia nice
00:43little short trip shouldn't have any lag for the washington football team coming into this one i
00:47expect a good game we look at that points total 48 and a half the eagles are three and a half
00:51point favorite and i think that is about right washington is a quality football team but the
00:55philadelphia eagles now getting healthy let's also remind ourselves last week the eagles on the
01:00offensive line a little bit under siege against the dallas cowboys they get some of their past
01:03wrestlers back which included micah parsons but jordan mailotta activated yesterday he will be
01:08playing in this game as their star left tackle that offensive line is ready to go aj brown selfie
01:13devonta smith you take a look at the tight end position in dallas goddard saquon barkley even
01:17that ankle injury another week out for jalen hurts the eagles are full gas for tonight and
01:22that bodes well for them yes the birds certainly are and the reason that philly will enter
01:27this nfce showdown in the number one spot is because of a five-game win streak for philadelphia
01:35donnie we expected the eagles to be the divisional favorites entering the year in fact they were
01:39priced as such and they are right now we'll look at the outlook for both of these teams in just a
01:45moment the next half hour here on this thursday on tel is a breakdown and preview and every
01:51synopsis that you need for thursday night let's go back to that number three and a half points
01:57spread in favor of the eagles the total stands at 48 and a half philadelphia has been booked as a
02:04favorite in four of five games on this win streak they've actually only covered twice and for the
02:10first time last week with land more than a touchdown the eagles did cover in a game it was
02:16expected to be comfortable they hammered dallas in dallas but probably more indicative drs of the
02:21cowboys in the dreadful season that dallas is having in terms of anything that philadelphia
02:27is doing but the eagles have covered in three of these five wins the reason i highlight that
02:33is there's been a few times on this win streak donnie where it's felt like okay the eagles are
02:38squeaking by in winning games ugly they're expected to win easy i would say now though
02:45entering tonight it feels like philadelphia is optimistic once again it feels like the eagles
02:52are deserving of being the favorites in the nfc east and one of the true conference contenders
02:57around the nfc yes and also you're trying to set up what you're getting out of the washington
03:02commanders they're a good football team i give them a lot of credit for how far they've come
03:06they've closed last week for a quality pittsburgh steelers team but sometimes it feels like you do
03:10level up in class and you're waiting for that big time victory they stepped up against the baltimore
03:14ravens took a loss they stepped up against the pittsburgh steelers took a loss opening day you
03:18probably want to wipe the slate clean rookie quarterback on the road this first start and
03:21quite frankly if tampa bay never gets injured what their record would actually be at this point in
03:25the season but we can only qualify that based on what we're going to expect tonight and that's
03:29the team in the philadelphia eagles that's been there done that before winning division championships
03:33getting to the super bowl jalen hurts the veteran quarterback versus jaden daniels the rookie
03:37quarterback you have a lot of strengths here on that philadelphia eagles when that offense is
03:42full go and everybody's in fact they move the football with ease but let's also remind ourselves
03:46that philadelphia eagles defense under vic fangio gets better every single week and who would have
03:51thought coming into the season boy the eagles need some help to replace that aging secondary
03:55which on one side of derrius slay but on the other side you know had a mix mash of a million
04:00different players last year right but now we take a look and say cj gj comes back into the equation
04:05playing solid at safety blank and ship one of the better safeties in football but then you draft two
04:10kids in the first round quinon mitchell and then cooper de gene two of the best
04:15defensive backs in football overall how about that coop cooper de gene just wait until he
04:23takes off the helmet tonight donnie right side is going to be fired up
