3 good games on the SKY/CH4 slate today.

NO @ Carolina

NE @ Baltimore

Chicago @ Philly


I like Baltimore, very tough to beat at home, and they just find a way to get it done, the Pats these days are vulnerable and also these days, lose close games late, when they used to win virtually all of them.

The other two? Brees' numbers drop off a cliff on the road and so do the Saints (over 30 pts in QBR), the Panthers are pretty solid all round, I'm gonna forgive that flop in the dome.

The late game looks like a shootout and a real good trading game to me.

Happy

The way the eagles can run the ball and the way this game is getting out of hand isn't always great for overs especially if Chicago down tools and prepare for next week!
Report db1974 December 23, 2013 2:05 AM GMT
No-one said they would be non-triers. But if it ended up being a tight game or if the Bears got up early then it wouldn't make sense for the Eagles to bust a gut getting back into it for a meaningless win. Still the right call even though the bet will lose now. Would still bet it every time.

If you can't play due to injury, suspension or whatever and the replacement plays better than you did, then no contest. You get "your" place back if he lose form, or get injured in turn.

cutler's too all or nothing for my liking.  Same in this game now that he has to throw it. You're expecting him to either bring them right back into it with big plays, or to throw his interceptions and the bears get blown out.  Nothing in between/sensible game management.

Swagger - I wrote about that game when it happened. Cowboys won in a low scoring game. Which is amazing in itself when u think just how awful both secondaries are. Foles went off concussed late in the game but I swear he was concussed before or not long into the game as it was one of the worst QB displays I have ever seen - and I have witnessed a few. Before or since, Foles has been excellent. Reliable. In that game? No idea what happened. But it was inept. I can only assume his head was spinning

Interesting game next week, it's almost like the way the Cowboys have played in recent weeks, the unprofessional way they chucked away good leads and the circus act in house compared to the dynamic interesting approach adopted by the Eagles that I wouldn't be surprised if the Cowboys randomly pulled it off when least expected
