Hawkeye Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Eagles are getting 4 on a surprisingly high total of 51.5. My immediate reaction is to hit the under but we have a whole week to ruminate… Line: Dallas -4 Philadelphia (-110) Total: 51.5 Money line: Cowboys -200/Eagles +170 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrestlevessel Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 Why is it only 4? Dallas is a lot better than us. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleJoe8 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 I’m surprised but not surprised it’s that low. My gut is telling me this game goes one of two ways. Either they totally blow us out, amped up for their home opener, or we look to dominate and be in control for a good 2 1/2 quarters, but fail to seal the deal, and start to collapse and fall short to a Dallas come back. Either way I see a loss obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTANK Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 everyone is gonna be jumping all over that. it’s bound to go up a point or two before weeks end, maybe more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 I’m looking at the total. These two have allowed 71 points combined in 4 games so why would they combine for 72% of that next week? First blush is Cowboys and the under. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toolg Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 I don’t think the Cowboys are all that good, especially on Defense. But the Eagles always get screwed in Dallas by homer refs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toolg Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Over/Under doesn't respect the Eagles defense. I would bet the under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdarkstar Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 What's the over/under in this game? I'd bet the over. A lot points will be scored in this Monday Night Matchup. I believe our Defense is better than theirs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2rock Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Going to be interesting to see how this team reacts to Sunday’s loss. Sirianni seemed to take it pretty hard and went to extra lengths (closed door meeting with coaching staff, talking about holding each other accountable, etc) in response. Normally that kind of stuff happens after a losing streak. Anyway, looking forward to seeing how they respond against Dallas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say this much, if the Eagles defeat the Cowboys I'll consider them contenders, of course in order for the Eagles to pull it off they'e going to need better play calling than what we witnessed Sunday.

That is part of their response I am really interested in seeing … does this staff learn from mistakes made and come up with a new approach to certain situations or do they keep trying to force the same plays that didn’t work previously to work now thinking better execution is all that is needed. Chip and Doug were both stubborn like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip and Doug were both stubborn like that. Concerning the situation they encountered Sunday, they should have anticipated the 9ers would only need their front 4 to stop the run as well as pressure the QB, a little film study would have shown that. So when what you anticipated is happening, you have to make adjustments provided that you've practiced making those adjustments if what you anticipated happens. Bottom line, coaches that can't make adjustments are usually in the unemployment line before their contracts expire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LacesOut Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 The Eagles will be and should be underdogs in just about every game. Cowboys win by 13. Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeanMeanGM Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Our defense is better than theirs but so we’re the Bucs and Chargers and they put up points. I don’t think our offense can keep up in a shoot out. I would never bet on the Cowboys but that seems like the play with the under. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The line briefly dipped to 3.5 then bounced back up to 4. The total is up to 52 in several places. We'll see what happens as the weekend arrives and football action ticks up starting tomorrow but as of today, the ML action is almost entirely on Dallas while the Eagles are getting a little more of the side money.

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I mean as I keep getting told Vegas know what they are doing. They are favourites and I think that's right. They are the home team and right now it's hard to argue that they don't have a better roster. But this is a division game and what better way for Sirianni to get everyone on side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
