00:00And the birds that being the Eagles a five and a half point

00:06home favorite tonight total of 46 and a half against Atlanta

00:10DRS. It was a week for the underdog in the early window on

00:14the Sunday slate. We saw three teams booked as at least a six

00:19and a half point underdog win outright. In fact, so for this

00:23season teams that have been booked as a six point underdog

00:26or greater or a perfect eight and oh against the spread you

00:29see six there. It's live five and a half now in favor of

00:33Philly all to say is this game more competitive than the

00:37rather lofty spread in the birds favor would indicate. Oh

00:41it will be no doubt about it and also by the way a little

00:43bit of action at the Fandula Sportsbook here dragging that

00:46price down to 45 and a half as a total within the past couple

00:50minutes. So I think a lot of people are looking at this game

00:52saying we might be hunkered in to a defensive struggle, which

00:55is kind of crazy open up the year. What do we love about

00:57Atlanta? It wasn't necessarily the defense. Hey Kirk Cousins

00:59good quarterback some weapons down there and the Philadelphia

01:01Eagles with one of the most talented offense pound for

01:03pound in the NFL, particularly at the skill positions. Now

01:06we're talking about the 47 and a half down to 45 and a half

01:09make it make some sense right and also the Eagles coming in

01:11well rested here off of a performance in Brazil and then

01:14you see Atlanta last week playing on last Sunday now

01:17getting to the Monday. So we shouldn't be healthy enough in

01:20this game with AJ Brown down, but it still leads me like I

01:23think the under should be the right play in this game, but

01:25also sometimes there's value if it continues to go down

01:28because the hot button right now is on those unders. There's

01:30there are weapons on both sides here and a lot of question

01:33marks on each side are the Atlanta Falcons healthy was

01:36last week. Kirk Cousins playing coy. Can he stand up in the

01:38pocket? He's going to struggle because it's a Monday night

01:40prime time game. Those will be answered. We have two dynamic

01:43backfields with Bijan Robinson and Saquon Barkley used to have

01:46talent wide receiver in Drake London. He's young and unused

01:49so far this season Kyle Pitts also talented and then you take

01:52a look at the Philadelphia Eagles Heisman trophy winner

01:54still left at wide receivers and you brought in Jahan

01:56Dotson and so I've Dallas got her in a quality offensive line

01:59and we're not asking about 53 and a half 54 and a half. It's

02:0245 and a half. Now that's very manageable in this spot for me.

02:06I do think the Eagles win, but I'm not as excited to lay the

02:10points here until we actually see it as Tom Vecchio brings up.

02:12It's a great point. Vandal Sportsbook. If you don't like

02:15what you see early on in the season, you can wait a quarter

02:17or two before you jump in and like an over and under or a

02:20side here because if Kirk Cousins opens this game and

02:22he's not really that good, they might get blown out. But if

02:25Kirk Cousins is average from the pocket and that Philadelphia

02:28Eagles pass rush, which didn't get home on that slippery turf

02:31doesn't get home tonight. Maybe has extra time to throw and

02:33that could help because he had no time against the Pittsburgh

02:36Steelers. It look like.
