Nick Foles has shown some talent since starting and had a monster game last week, but he may find that passing for yards tonight will be a little trickier. The primary reason will be the Bengals' pass rush, Cincinnati lead the NFL in sacks. Geno Atkins look like the best defensive tackle in football and will give the Eagles' O line a tough time with his speed; deeper, the Bengals are well organised.
Bryce Brown will be the lead back again, and should see more of the ball tonight to take the pressure off Foles, but the Cincinnati front seven is a decent unit against the run. The upshot is that the Eagles may struggle to move the chains consistently.
The Bengals will come up against a Philadelphia defense that showed better last week after a coaching change and jettisoning the wide-nine....

The Eagles. Poor, clipped, wounded sparrows. Battered, beaten and they've Nick Foles under centre.
Presumably, Dallas will try to stuff the Eagles' run game (their only remaining offense) and force Foles to try and keep pace by throwing to what's left of his receiving corps. I say keep pace, because Dallas should pour it on against one of the poorest defenses about.
The Cowboys are wildly unpredictable from week to week, but they've always struck me as 'flat track bullies' (for those of you reading this on my other blog, who aren't followers of cricket, I apologise: it means when the going is easy, they look aces) and really, if ever there was a team to show off against, it's Philadelphia.
The Eagles haven't conceded less than 28 points since October 14th. They have a -17 turnover...

Great, a disastrous weekend of football betting is topped off with this rotten game!
Cam Newton is having a very tough (and unpredictable) season, while the Eagles have Nick Foles under centre again, behind an O line that is falling apart. Foles would usually look to hand it off to LeSean McCoy, but he's also out with a concussion.
The Panthers should be able to attack the Eagles' secondary, which is poor: Philadelphia don't have much of a pass rush, so there shouldn't be much pressure: look for Steve Smith to score. If Carolina can mix Jonathan Stewart into the run game, along with Newton (RGIII gashed the Eagles) they should come out on top, but decision making on and off the field has been a problem for Carolina this season and the results have followed.
A horrible game to ...

Great, a choker followed by a game between maybe the two most unpredictable teams in football!
I honestly couldn't pick a team to cover with these two, so I'm going to post my one 'No bet' of the year ATS.
Instead, head to SJ and back Over 5 sacks in the game for a small interest; the Eagles don't have an O line and DeMarcus Ware and his buddies must be licking their lips.

I didn't think that losing their coach would have a significant effect on the Saints, but it would seem that, if it's not that, a wheel has come off somewhere.
The major problem is the New Orleans' defense: it's horrible. Their pass rush isn't getting home and their secondary is poor (the Saints have given up 300 yards to opposing QBs in all but one game this season) and to make matters worse, they're now coping with injuries.
Michael Vick is behind a creaking offensive line that has seen the Eagles' coaches alter their QB's gameplan somewhat, with a much quicker release and shorter passes designed to avoid the sacks and turnovers that were burning them. That said, tonight should see some shots deep to guys like Jeremy Maclin and DeSean Jackson. LeSean McCoy should be able to get ...
