00:00Our first of two games on Sunday, 3 p.m. Eastern Time kick at the Lake in Philadelphia. The Eagles
00:07and the Rams. DRS in a projected matchup of what this spread would be before Monday night's game.
00:14It was six and a half in favor of Philadelphia if they did see LA. The Rams look dominant and
00:20impressive in their victory over the Vikings. The Eagles were dominant defensively but not overly
00:26impressive on the offensive side of the football line opened up just yesterday morning at five and
00:31a half and now it's back closer to a touchdown in favor of the birds a six and a half point spread.
00:37The total 44 and a hook for two great defensive displays in the first round of the postseason
00:43but it was 43 and a half just yesterday which leads to our first big question.
00:49Can the Eagles win this game Donnie in a shootout in an offensive affair?
00:53They can but I don't think it's going to be that way. I really don't understand this. Look at the Rams like outside of the game where they bench all their starters.
01:00I mean they're like a single digit team on defense really turning the corner which is great and the
01:05Eagles have the number one overall defense in the NFL. Now coupling colder temperatures in the mid
01:1030s for a dome team going outdoors with some precipitation in the forecast which could be in
01:14the way of snow. So keep an eye on that throughout the week on some of these updates that come through.
01:19Now the Eagles are favored by six and a half. I agree with that. That total opened up at 45 and a half
01:23has dipped down a little bit lower. Actually had a little bit of a bounce back after hitting those 43
01:27and a half numbers. Now back up to 44 and a half. I think the game has a tendency to stay under more
01:32than it does go over. Now understand this you know to the victor go the spoils. The higher
01:36seeded teams usually get treated just a little bit better. You're seeing Detroit coming off of a buy
01:40taking on Washington who had to play last week and now you're saying you're getting them on a short
01:44week because they're playing on a Saturday. Well the NFL the same thing. It's always about money
01:49we understand that even if it comes at the you know strain of competition. When did the San Francisco
01:54excuse me when did the Los Angeles Rams play this week. They played Monday night and they were on
01:58the road when they should have been home. So they win that game on a Monday. They got to fly back
02:02home. Then they got to fly to the East Coast and play on a Sunday when the Eagles are waiting for
02:06them with a day more rest than they have. So advantage fill it up the Eagles in that mindset.
02:10I have to get a good game where the Eagles end up winning. But you know what I'm liking.
02:14It's weapons on both sides. You see that number in the low 40s. They must be like you know what
02:19let's go to the over. I'm telling you right now I'm feeling an under in this game because the
02:23way the Eagles played offense last week against a very good Packers defense somewhat tame. You're
02:27getting a pretty good a hot defense here for the Rams that are kind of cross country. And I would
02:31say this there's no style points needed Ben. Just win and advance here. I'm leaning more towards the
02:36under this week than the actual side in this game.
