00:04Division leaders.

00:05Dubsy.

00:06That's what we're talking.

00:07Sunday, 425 Eastern live from Philadelphia, which I always get to get this PSA out here

00:11like that.

00:12I do the pro football today.

00:13So I don't get home to usually at least midway through the third quarter of the one o'clock

00:18game.

00:19So when the Eagles have a one o'clock game, look, I sacrifice for the people.

00:22I can't watch it all, but when I get matchups like this in prime time, Sunday coverage,

00:27I love it.

00:28The Eagles, a five and a half point favorite here at the FanDuel Sportsbook, 42 and a half

00:32as a total listed Russell Wilson, Jalen Hurts, two first place teams.

00:37We got to love this.

00:39Both teams playing tremendous football.

00:41Russell Wilson, I said earlier in the program, I'll put the hand up.

00:45I was wrong.

00:46I thought he was done.

00:47I thought the best years were behind him.

00:49He is playing some fantastic football and suddenly that offense is looking dynamic for

00:54for coach Tomlin there in Pittsburgh.

00:56They're getting a downfield.

00:57They can lean on the run game when they have to.

00:59But this is going to be another tough assignment going on the road to play in Philadelphia.

01:04The Eagles, it's going to be a hostile welcome.

01:07If you will, there's a low total set at 42 and a half, considering how many points we've

01:11seen from both sides leading back in for this one.

01:14But I do think the Eagles find themselves in a nice spot.

01:18It's just that lines only five and a half.

01:20It's going to be a tough one to cover if you correlate that with a low scoring total there,

01:24which the oddsmakers have booked this one.

01:26But for me, I think the Eagles are the better team.

01:29They've certainly got more offensive star power and weapons if they can unlock that

01:34passing game early in this one.

01:36And it's not all about Saquon Barkley.

01:38Watch out.

01:39They keep the Steelers at arm's length and for Pittsburgh, interesting to see when they're

01:43playing a little catch up football, what Russ can really, you know, deep dive into with

01:48that bag.

01:49But this has all the makings of being, you know, playoff intensity.

01:54Very similar to the Thursday night football spot.

01:56Excited for Sunday afternoon between the Steelers and the Eagles, Donnie.

02:00Have you got the home vibes going, Donnie?

02:04Can you take off that cap, give us an unbiased look?

02:06Why is it going to be the Eagles and not the Steelers?

02:09Yeah, unbiased look, the Eagles by at least 25 to 30 points this game.

02:14No bias in that whatsoever.

02:16No bias.

02:17But by the way, if we are looking at the FanDuel Sportsbook, because prop bets are what gets

02:20most of the attention from the bettors out there.

02:22Used to be sides, used to be totals, now it's props.

02:25The player passing touchdown numbers, Dubsy, for Jalen Hurts and Russell Wilson.

02:29Over one and a half, which means you've got to throw for two touchdowns.

02:32Not incredibly hard to do in today's NFL.

02:35For Jalen Hurts, plus 215.

02:37For Russell Wilson, plus 195.

02:39And I'm not looking at the statistics from last week, but these two players didn't have

02:44great passing numbers, but I think they both still eclipsed two touchdown passes.

02:48And both of them, the yards, Dubsy?

02:50189.5 for Hurts, 193.5 for Russell Wilson.

02:53I understand the defenses are good here.

02:55We're not expecting crazy weather conditions.

02:58Could if I told you, just take both of the passing touchdown options, Hurts over one

03:04and a half, 215, Russell Wilson plus 195, it's basically two to one.

03:07That's a good payday if one of those two players hits the two touchdowns.
