70% of the bets on the spread for the NFC Championship game first up on Sunday on
00:07
Jaden Daniels and the Commanders. So tell me DRS, when the line opened on Sunday
00:13
evening at four and a half in favor of the Birds and we're getting 70% of the
00:18
action on Washington, why is this line now near a touchdown in favor of
00:23
Philadelphia? Yeah, it's pretty wild the way you look at it because the Eagles
00:28
are a good ballclub. They didn't wind up in this position by getting lucky late
00:31
in the season. Like they've been very good. The number one overall defense in
00:34
the NFL. You take a look at Jalen Hurts has been underwhelming in the passing
00:38
game, yes, but he's learned not to turn the football over and every time you
00:41
hand off it feels like every four carries is a home run hit by running
00:45
back Saquon Barkley. But the one thing I do understand about handicapping and
00:48
gambling is there's odds makers and there's the betting public because
00:52
opening that line at four and a half I thought showed a lot of respect for
00:55
Washington and the thought process behind that was maybe we're not going to
00:58
get a healthy enough Jalen Hurts to play next week to be effective. As you still
01:02
see at the FanBull Sportsbook, 70% of the tickets still coming in on the
01:06
Washington Commanders and that line moves up two full points which should
01:10
give you pause if you're a Washington backer. Now me, being around the block,
01:13
that is an Eagles line no doubt about it. Am I running to the window to take the
01:17
six and a half today as I'm so excited to do that? Not necessarily, but
01:21
understand the products of their environment. Everybody expected a great
01:24
punch from the Green Bay Packers. Eagles handled their business and outside of a
01:27
collapse over the final two minutes to get to almost two touchdowns for the
01:31
Rams, the Eagles were double digits there for the primarily parts of that second
01:35
half and still they were favored by six, six and a half and pushed and were
01:39
covered depending on when you got those numbers earlier in the week. So the
01:42
Eagles are expected to win. They're the better football team, but again I'm not
01:45
overly excited at saying yes let me lay close to a touchdown in this game.
