Hawkeye Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Eagles getting a touchdown and then some at most books. Steelers are 2-1 ATS (3-0 SU) and coming off a bye week after COVID postponed their game against Tennessee this week. Tough spot for the Birds. Steelers -7.5 Over/Under 46 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Hmm interesting... See that line gives me a little pause. The Steelers don't wow me or scare me. Don't get me wrong they are the better team but they don't worry me. I think we can go in there and win so giving us more than a TD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles could get Jeffrey and Jackson back this week. That opens things up offensively. 46 seems a little short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wentz 2 Ertz Posted October 5, 2020 Share Posted October 5, 2020 Pounded Eagles team total over 17.5 last night. Will do the same for this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joboggi Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 After four games you should be performing at your game level. I do hope that the 2020 effect has messed with the Eagles because their PFFs are not going to take them anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see us losing by a TD that comes down to the last seconds. 7.5 gives that little bit more of a cushion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cochis_Calhoun Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Lane, Kelce and Herbig were all at best limited in practice Yesterday, if we're down to whoever's behind Herbig on Sunday we aren't beating the Steelers with offense (even with him it's ard to make a strong case). I also see McLeod didn't practice Yesterday with a hammy injury along with 2 of the other 4 safeties on the roster (and we moved Mills back to corner to cover injuries), so we may be struggling to stop them scoring as well. They've not had much of a challenge so far in their schedule but their defensive stats reflect that and besides our strongest test was a 49ers with no corners and a back up QB so that's pretty much a wash. They've had a long week to gameplan, our secondary is awful, their receivers are the best we've faced to date this season and their running game is good enough to keep the defense honest, all things considered I see the Steelers by more than a touchdown, sorry.

we_gotta_believe Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Steelers defense will present a lot of matchup problems and their offense won't have Nate Mullens under center, unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm edging towards the Eagles to cover the spread. Whether DeSean or Alshon play has zero bearing on that for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliEagle Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 I think the Eagles will cover. I'm not sure if we win though. The Steelers have played teams that haven't provided much competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Pittsburgh beat Houston by a TD, Houston are a bit of a mess right now and I think we are fairly evenly matched with Houston so 7.5 is right on the edge. Good job by Vegas there although I won't be betting on this one as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we just contextualise 'Houston are a bit of a mess' Houston have scored more TD's than us, their QB has more yards and TD's at a better completion % than ours and they've scored a whopping 4 points less than us, their season just happened to start with Chiefs (4-0), Ravens (3-1) and Steelers (3-0) and the only rough looking loss on their record is the Vikes last time out. O'Briens firing is as much about arguing with players in training and his Chip Kellyesque trading of Hopkins as anything, he might have survived if he'd pulled a tie out against the Vikes in the battle of 0-3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as HC it's a harsh call to fire him. But as GM it's an easy decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main concern I have is that Blitzburg are going to bring the pressure. Can this OL hold up? Probably not so that's not a great match up for us.
