They still seem like they can beat Washington,
maybe not the offense of Dallas, but I don't
know.
I'm confused with what's happened to the defensive side
of things for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Yeah, I think for in watching the Eagles play,
what I, what I look defense, I really can't
speak to it because you're right.
They just, but Dallas will make you look foolish sometimes.
But what I see with the Eagles to me, Joe, I don't know about you.
It doesn't seem like they're opening up
the playbook for this quarterback.
it doesn't seem like they're really you know going deep a lot
and throwing crossing routes
it just feels like everything is short
but but let's summarize this game here for a minute
let's take a step back you're telling me
that Washington is almost a touchdown favorite in
an NFL game the Washington Commanders are six six
and a half five and a half i mean are you
out of your mind taking Washington in a game
this big a favorite i mean it was like taking
Indianapolis over Tennessee when they were six
and a half point favorites or whatever I mean come
on like it's either Philly or nothing for me
in this one it may Philly may end up being my favorite
pick of the week by the time we get to the end of the week
because look I I I thought a few weeks
ago looking back at it that Washington was like
a sneaky pick maybe to win the division but I don't
think that anymore and they and to me a couple
of receivers in the NFL to me that that don't get the
credit that they should one is Nico Collins
on Houston i feel like Nico Collins on Houston
makes Houston go the other one is McLaurin
on Washington i feel like he is a monster receiver
for that team and and no one's even talking about him being out
for the season like he is a great
player so Stephon Diggs and what exactly
and what running back exactly for Washington this is the
same Washington team that couldn't even snap
the ball to get a win a million times against the
Giants you have to be out of your mind to lay
this kind of number uh with the Washington Commander
Joe what have they shown this this season to be like
if you told me it was two and a half i'd be
like okay i still may take Philadelphia in that spot
but wow that that you you were right last
week talking about that i i that that's a staggering number
and i and i think it's one of
those numbers too where even if Washington wins
and covers i still would probably still be like
okay, I still feel like Philly's the right side.
