00:00We're about to get into tomorrow we got the Eagles taking on the Falcons we're

00:07seeing some interesting numbers in terms of some statistics out there actually

00:11have Falcons defense ranked about two slots higher than the Eagles which is

00:14blowing my mind. Tom and I were talking about that during the break but what are

00:18some things you're looking forward to in this Monday night matchup? Well we have

00:23primetime Kirk Cousins if you buy into that narrative how we just continuously

00:29fails to perform when he plays in primetime game so if you are a fan of

00:35narratives in that way you could certainly buy into that and I guess that

00:38means you'd be on the Eagles but more importantly I want I want to know what

00:42these offenses are gonna look like because it was a very slow start for the

00:45Falcons in week one as it was for a lot of teams but they're fully healthy

00:49another week of practice ready to go the Eagles are going to be without AJ Brown

00:53their best wide receiver one of the best wide receivers in the league he was

00:56ruled out earlier today so what does their offense look like we know that

01:00they traded for Jahan Dotson right at the end of training camp preseason and

01:05brought him in so it looks like it's gonna be obviously Saquon coming in the

01:08backfield Devonta Smith Jahan Dotson good mix of Dallas Goddard in there so

01:13where are we gonna be seeing the offense production from a a team that is missing

01:16one of their best players where do we transfer that and be a team that did

01:19nothing in week one how do we see them evolve into week two again looking

01:24a little better so I am hesitant on the over I'm significantly more leaning

01:29towards the under I'm also a little bit worried about the Eagles covering at

01:33five and a half if we get a live line at three three and a half I'll have a

01:37little bit more interest when the Eagles Saquon minus 185 for a touchdown

01:41absolutely do not bet that the first player I consider would be Devonta Smith

01:45at plus 140 for a touchdown oh that's something to consider I mean the one

01:49thing that I was just hoping for is that we'll see Dallas Goddard get more in

01:53involved because I had so much writing on him versus the Packers it didn't

01:57particularly pan out but that is okay I do love how you and the guys break down

02:02engage probably those touchdown props because you want to steer away from the

02:05obvious especially to find more value and things and you would assume that

02:09with the Falcons having their shortcomings at the top of this season

02:13and having some new pieces in their defense that the Eagles are gonna want

02:16to rack up on running the ball but I think that they can equivalently get

02:20their tight ends involved to kind of alleviate some of their guys and see

02:23who's gonna step up in the wide receiving room more importantly.
