00:03 - The Eagles no longer the favorites in the NFC.

00:06 Plus 3.70 the price now for Philadelphia,

00:09 50 cents behind the San Francisco 49ers.

00:13 The Niners now the favorites to win the NFC championship.

00:16 DRS, we all react to one week.

00:19 A small sample size, but it's a week to week league

00:22 in the national football league.

00:23 Did anything happen last week in New England,

00:26 courtesy of Philadelphia,

00:28 that has changed your overall stance this year,

00:30 Donnie, on the Eagles?

00:32 - No, not necessarily,

00:33 but you know the defense is sort of a work in progress

00:35 from that middle linebacking position,

00:36 which again, you're down the Kobe Dean

00:38 for at least four weeks now,

00:39 being on the injured list.

00:40 But that secondary, they're gonna be fine.

00:42 If Bradbury was playing tonight,

00:44 that certainly would be a boost

00:45 and you wouldn't have to worry about it.

00:46 But the fact that you're putting a rookie in this early,

00:48 but keep in mind, the Eagles from top to bottom,

00:50 probably the most talent in the NFL.

00:53 And that offense, once it gets on track,

00:54 which I believe it will be tonight,

00:56 we're gonna be singing their praises again.

00:58 Also keep in mind,

00:59 sometimes when you take a look at a coaching staff,

01:01 you have to be smart.

01:02 You got a 16-0 lead right away in the rain in Foxborough.

01:05 Were you gonna open up the offense,

01:06 go five wide and throw 45 times in that game?

01:08 No, you weren't going to do that.

01:09 They got pressed a little bit in the second half,

01:11 and yes, you would like to see more first downs

01:13 at the end of the game.

01:14 But tonight, you'll get a better gauge here

01:16 where those violent swings in prices might change.

01:18 If the Eagles hang 35 plus points

01:20 and easily dismantle the Vikings,

01:22 we're gonna go, "What were we worried about?

01:23 "The Eagles are back and they're going to be fine."

01:25 But again, what your eyes tell you from week to week,

01:27 you know who's more impressive?

01:29 The 49ers on the road than the Philadelphia Eagles.

01:31 That's what we're seeing now.

01:32 And that's why the Fandles Sportsbook

01:33 change up those odds there.

01:34 Because the betting public, Ben, is saying,

01:36 "You know what?

01:36 "I saw that as well."

01:38 (upbeat music)

01:40 you
