Hawkeye Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 The final regular season home game of 2023 has the Eagles laying double digits again. Both teams are pedestrian ATS (Eagles 6-6-3, Cardinals 7-7-1); Arizona is playing out the string and the Eagles can't seem to put it together, despite a good record SU. Late season games are tough to figure, especially games like this. You'd think the Eagles would cruise in this spot, but I just don't trust them. Line: Eagles -10.5 Total:47.5/48 Moneyline: Eagles -650/Cardinals +450 In a related note, Detroit travels to Dallas next Saturday night, where they're getting 6. Hmmmm.

EagleJoe8 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 I think they'll win again, but for the umpteenth time, they're going to make the game harder than it should need to be. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep! And are very unlikely to cover that kind of spread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where’s the revenge for Gannon? He left us, he spoke to the Cards against the rules. It’s not like we fired him but he landed on his feet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, the Eagles D should be looking for payback after he quit on them around the Super Bowl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway… I’m concerned about Murray vs this lacklustre pass rush. He’s going to be able to buy all sorts of time out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYEagle Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 My prediction for the game....don't care! Will be in Cabo for 5 days for NYE and will be sun, surf and sex with the Mrs. The game is on at 11am there, I'll check in to see how it's going but otherwise, wishing all of you mf'ers a Happy New Years!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Honestly I think this is the week they have a dominant win. They controlled the Giants game pretty much start to finish and it was really only close because of two fluky plays. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain F Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 I agree with Nips. They haven't just wrecked an opponent all year. With the way the last few weeks have gone, I think the are pissed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slip and fall pick 6, OZ getting pushed into Scott (who imo should have just taken it to the 25 anyway, trying too hard bc Giant Killer blah blah). And that 70yd TD over Blankenship who probably fell a sleep bc he was so bored all game. We had one of our if not the most productive games of the season offensively. I'm not too worried about our team as others. There really was only one game we were manhandled (SF). Others was us shooting ourselves in the foot with stupid turnovers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LacesOut Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hopefully this will be the game where they "play to their Standard" and kick the ish outta AZ. Start a good run, get hott, and start playing some complete games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdarkstar Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Murray has been sick this week. I doubt he plays. Also, the Cardinals are in contention for a top draft pick if they lose this game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pisceschica Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 What does it mean to cover? I know a negative number means that team, eagles are favored. So that means they expect the eagle to win by at least 11 points, since no partial points in NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For AZ to cover, they need to win, or lose by 10 or less points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rrfierce Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I don’t think gannon is after revenge but he’ll definitely want to prove something. he’ll have some insider knowledge so I don’t think an upset is too out of the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point spread or any betting line typically involves a half number in the NFL because they don't want the bet to land exactly on the same number and end up in a push where no one wins. If a team is favored by a FG the line will typically be something like -2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
