i see some Eagles action on here. I'm still not gonna call the game. That being said, I do like the way the Eagles players handled themselves in the off season.
I also like the way Jalen Hurts has handled himself. I may not agree with some of his "other " viewpoints, but as far as football, he's got his head on straight. No bragging, etc, just focused on the upcoming season.
How this will translate into a successful Eagles season and winning this first game, we shall see.
I realize the Cowboys stink. But don't forget this is one of the NFL's biggest rivalries, and they usually play tough when coming to the Linc. Wouldn't surprise me if the Cowboys are really juiced for this, especially trying to knock off the Super Bowl champs, and maybe take the lead in the game. Maybe even into the second half, before the Eagles superiority finally kicks in and the Eagles win the game.
Will it be by over 7.5 points? I'm not sure, hence no call. But I agree that the Eagles ML is the best play versus the spread. I never once complained about a ML win, even if the team handily beat the spread, and betting the spread would have paid more.

What your comparison with an event from decades ago, has anything to do with the present situation, I'm not even going to try to figure out. I'd rather work on Rubik's Cube. LOL

Regarding Rubik’s cube…. There is a simple repetition that every child has been taught for 50 years on how to solve the cube in seconds.
Regarding football, it was not a serious statement but it is a punch of perspective. He could fail and it won’t matter but he might succeed! It still won’t matter.
Not to mention that I don’t want to just agree with what Dave Portnoy has said for months. Everyone has flopped onto the “down with Bill” bandwagon so it’s simply not that interesting over there. Now he’s out there just showing middle aged men what’s possible if you stay fit and attractive into your late late late late 40s.

losing to Dallas at home in week 1 after a SB victory would be a very bad loss. their rosters are incomparable, especially after Jerry just allowed his best player to leave.
anything is possible, but that anything would require Philly to sleepwalk for multiple quarters and/or turn the ball over multiple times.
the point spread has moved to -8 and the ML to -450 at my book

"Eagles opened at -7 at home against the Cowboys. Of course in the NFL, there are no "must win" games in the first game of the season. However the Eagles really do need to win this game, favored at home against a very beatable Cowboys team."
I had posted the above a few weeks ago in the Eagles thread. So I definitely agree with ya.
That money move I think is a good sign.
But say if Dallas is up by 4 points at half time. I'm guessing the point spread would still be the Eagles favored, but only by around 3 points, maybe 4. In my opinion, win or lose, that would be one heckuva live bet value on the Eagles -3, even at -4. The money line a good value as well.

Giving this game some thought I do think the Eagles will probably win but this isn't going to be an auto win imo
8.5 points is a lot, Kenny Clark is an 18 wheeler in the middle of the line which might slow Barkley down a bit or force him to run outside constantly
Dak has Lamb and Pickens which is pretty formidable, like I said Philly should win but don't sleep on Dallas here

I just saw the Eagles move to -8.5 which is making sense.
This may sound funny, but I think some of those Big Boys who got stung betting Texas the other day, may be pounding the Eagles here looking to get even.
In my view the spread is a bit too much of a coin flip. And any player betting coin flips against a bookies juice is a guaranteed long term loser. I'm passing on calling the Eagles here, but of course as a fan, I hope they blow-out the Cowboys.
With the Eagles at -430 that means a $100 wager gets you around $25 profit, actually a little bit less. But just for quick illustration sake, at $25 profit, to break even you'd have to win this bet 4 out of 5 times. To show a profit, you'd have to win this bet 5 out of 6 times.
I can see "possibly" winning this ML bet 5 out of 6 times. But to me against a bookie, "possibly" isn't good enough. So I'm going to pass on calling this game either way, spread or ML.
With a ML wager at -430, I'd want to see a situation whereby I feel a team can win the game at least 5 out of 6 times, or even more than that. I think this is the only way to beat the bookies computer. You have to calculate that you have the edge on a bet. Otherwise, may as well just send ACH payment to the book for your allotted wagering money, save yourself the trouble of agonizing over each game. LOL

I just can't think of North Carolina doing anything except being a disaster this year, hopefully TCU runs them over for you brother
And away we go. First week pro plays. All Parlays. Eagles ML,Browns +5.5,Titans +8. Raiders+3, Seahawks+2.5. Falcons+2, ML Packers.

BTW - What's the over/under on Bill Belichick getting fired?
He lost his first NFL game too. Then he won his next two. Follow the script.
What your comparison with an event from decades ago, has anything to do with the present situation, I'm not even going to try to figure out. I'd rather work on Rubik's Cube. LOL
Perkdog with yet another good call.
Regarding Rubik’s cube…. There is a simple repetition that every child has been taught for 50 years on how to solve the cube in seconds.
Regarding football, it was not a serious statement but it is a punch of perspective. He could fail and it won’t matter but he might succeed! It still won’t matter.
Not to mention that I don’t want to just agree with what Dave Portnoy has said for months. Everyone has flopped onto the “down with Bill” bandwagon so it’s simply not that interesting over there.

Hopefully the Eagles WR's are good to go, I read yesterday that both were hurting from minor injuries which is completely ridiculous

if the Philly ship sinks there's going to be a lot of people on board
