00:00Uh, is it right that the Eagles have not scored a point in the first quarter all season?

00:07I mean, that seems not a single point.

00:10That seems insane.

00:11I know.

00:12Yeah, go ahead.

00:13Well, it's funny.

00:14We were, you know, I had shows over the weekend here on the grid and we were talking about

00:18that in terms of how do we bet this game?

00:20Now, I was in favor of the Bengals.

00:23I was on the Bengals money line, the Bengals minus two and a half.

00:26Obviously, they were beaten down a big way.

00:28I think a big part of that was no T Higgins being available, but the Eagles, they absolutely

00:31smacked him around.

00:32But it was all right.

00:33If you don't trust the spread one way or the other and you don't have a firm feel on who's

00:39going to win the game, then yeah, let's look at some trends.

00:41And a remarkable trend is that, as you said, the Eagles have not scored a single first

00:47quarter point.

00:48And the Bengals going into that game yesterday were one of the best defenses in the first

00:52quarter, only allowing not even, I think, three points per fourth first quarter over

00:57the course of the year.

00:59And it was the first quarter line of, I think, nine and a half points.

01:02And so that just felt like a, uh, an autoplay on the under and you get the one touchdown

01:08from Cincinnati and that was it hits again.

01:11And so it's definitely something to pay attention to going forward.

01:13I don't know what it is with the slow start, but the Eagles, they don't seem to wake up

01:17offensively until quarter number two.
