00:00And Philadelphia entered with a half game advantage in front of
00:08Washington in the Eagles, a hefty favorite, both in the
00:12division and at home on a short week, four and a half points.
00:16Was that closing spread in favor of the birds? It was a slow
00:20start for Philadelphia, really for both offenses, but in the
00:24second half and namely the fourth quarter, the ground
00:27attack in Saquon Barkley takes over two rushing scores of at
00:32least 25 yards or more in a span of 20 seconds of game clock
00:38pushes Philadelphia to a huge divisional victory. Twenty-six
00:43eighteen, the Eagles take care of business against the
00:46commanders. Philly covers as a four and a half point home
00:49favorite total of forty-nine and a half on the rise throughout
00:52Thursday, does stay under that number. Yeah, and listen, and
00:58after that first half and what Elliott was doing, just leaving
01:02a ton of points out there, kickers again, and he has been
01:07one of the best kickers in the National Football League for a
01:10long, long time, but he didn't have a good night at all, left
01:13six points on the table, two missed field goals, even a
01:16missed extra point, but have no fear, Ben. It's funny. We were
01:19just talking about Major League Baseball awards. Saquon Barkley
01:24would without a doubt win the best relief pitcher if he was a
01:27Major League Baseball player because this dude in the second
01:31half, 76 of his 146 came in the second half. It's now the
01:37second game this year in which he had over fifty rushing yards
01:41and multiple touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Nobody else has
01:45done it once this season. He has 738 rushing yards, averages
01:517.2 yards of carry in the second half this season in the
01:57second half. So when Philadelphia has got you on the
02:00ropes, you're not getting the ball back and that's basically
02:04how it works. He's the best player on this team by far and
02:07oh yeah, by the way, if he was still on the Giants, they'd
02:10still suck. You heard it here first. A decent opening drive
02:14for Philadelphia. They did miss a field goal. It was the story
02:18of the night. Jake Elliott also missing an extra point when
02:21Jalen Hurts scored for the fifth consecutive game, his
02:24ninth rushing touchdown in the previous five games for
02:28Philadelphia and still was only booked at a minus 120 price to
02:32hit pay yesterday. Saquon Barkley was near a $2 number
02:35minus 180 minus 185. He did that twice in a 22nd span 23
02:42yard rushing score with just under five minutes remaining
02:45that extended the lead for the Eagles 19 to 10. Then very next
02:49play for Washington offensively. Jaden Daniels
02:52throws an interception two plays later. 20 ticks of the
02:56clock can only run off and Saquon Barkley breaks out for a
03:0039 yard scamper to hit pay dirt and to give the Eagles the
03:04cushion they needed. Jaden Daniels did connect with former
03:07Eagles Zach Hurts with about 30 ticks remaining in regulation
03:11for what was a rather meaningless touchdown to even
03:14make it a single score game. Philly was in control courtesy
03:18of that huge huge fourth quarter and the Eagles now Joe
03:22have won six consecutive games. They have covered four times in
03:26this six game win streak three times as a favorite and this is
03:30where it gets crucial. All three covers for Philadelphia as a
03:34favorite in this six game win streak that pushes their record
03:38to eight and two has come against an NFC East foe. Sure
03:43the Giants and the Cowboys they stink this year, but the
03:46commanders are the toughest task in this division.
03:49Philadelphia will leave Thursday night and week 11 now
03:52with a game and a half lead in the NFC East. Yeah and really
03:57they've kind of separated themselves right and then you
04:00got Washington has lost two in a row after that seven and two
04:05start, but I listen. I think both these teams are still
04:08heading to the playoffs obviously here, but I do think
04:11Philadelphia in the NFC East now at eight and two and the
04:15schedule the rest of the way. I think they have. I think they've
04:20won the NFC East. I think the race is over as they say there
04:23Ben. I think now Philadelphia if you if you're looking for a
04:27future ticket, maybe Philadelphia to win it all is
04:30not a bad look here because they certainly have all the pieces
04:33in place to win in January.
