Speaking of Philadelphia, Craig, I don't know if you saw this.
You mentioned that you like the Jacksonville Jaguars
who are coming out of a game in London.
They stayed there, by the way, because they have another game
coming up this week against Houston.
But the team, the Eagles is a fascinating scheduling spot to me
because you don't often see teams shift over to London
to play an international game and then have to come back
and not only play a game, Greg, in this spot,
but play against a team that had a bye week.
And that's what they did to the Eagles here,
is if they don't have enough going on,
the Eagles have to come home, fly from London,
which they, again, lost the game they should have won,
fly home, short week now, and take on a Carolina Panthers team
who has spent now the last almost two weeks prepping for them here
with all those injuries.
i mean you don't often see
the schedule work where it's one thing to schedule them to play
but you're you're giving them a game against
the team that had a bye week that seems a little
unfair yeah it is unusual i i don't i mean i suppose that does happen
but yeah it is it is
unusual in philadelphia now i think they're down
to damian pierce at running back if i if i saw
that right today yeah
so yeah look it's it's look i i think philadelphia has now they're not
waving the white flag but when you lose the way
that you've lost the last couple of weeks it's
really hard it's hard to come back
from that but uh look i i think in that game you can show me
the graphic for more time and that game
in particular the odds makers are certainly telling
us that philadelphia's got a great shot to win this game
so this is not one that i am going to
touch i believe carolina is the better team
this is the prove it game for them to show that they
are in it to show them that they could potentially go
on the road he doesn't have any home field
advantage, Craig, because you're telling me
the odds makers at plus
one, plus one and a half,
on a neutral site, you're telling me
Carolina's a better team?
How is this not at least three for Philadelphia?
Because they're just so
destroyed. They lost two games in a row in the
last minute and have no receivers or running backs.
How can you make them the favorite at all?
But, I mean, it's
maybe a half point
or a point.
So him and Devontae Smith
are questionable so if they play i think
that line probably moves if they get announced that
line probably moves not a ton but two two
and a half yeah i can see that i i just want to see
carolina win this game and then i can you know
officially say oh well i mean they don't have to
october but if they win this game uh yeah
if they lose it goes back to if if it lose it goes back to
them atlanta tampa bay all those teams last week
of the season whoever wins nine gets in if they
lose this game if they win all of a sudden i think you think
to yourself wait a second here
carolina is the clear favorite to win the division i think
with that if they win this one that that's
what sort of it's thing saints have looked horrible buccaneers
are going nowhere falcons
i mean don't ask me i can't figure out what
they're doing week to week i got no clue one
week they look great one week they look horrible
um i think carolina has looked the best but i'd
like to see them win this one to put themselves up
but by the way if carolina played anyone this
week on the road it would be for it wouldn't
be just for me it wouldn't be about philly it'd be
about anybody i want to see carolina off the bye go
on the road beat a good team i take it back
beat any team get that win
and then we can start talking about that i mean maybe not tennessee
yeah they uh they could win this one
but it's not a game i looked this morning at like some
of my favorite ones to see if i could identify
this was this was one where i was just like oh
i don't know like odds makers are sort
of telling me philly's got a shot here
