Eagles Betting

It seems almost like Vegas and the online sports books planned week 17 to be a set-up for a huge pay day this week. This is the second game in a row that is going to have stupid people looking back at last week’s game and betting the wrong team. The Eagles did need that game last week, but once thing got out of hand, they stopped playing in the second half.

With emotions running high on both sides of the ball, one team (Florida) will benefit greatly. The other will suffer an embarrassing loss on New Year’s Day. Cincinnati is playing without former head coach Brian Kelly, who led the Bearcats to significant success in recent years

The Eagles have been playing great as of late, and we grade them at the highest we have graded them in years. Donovan finally has some playmakers and they get Brian Westbrook back this week

Let me start by saying I am a lifelong Giants fan, but as a professional I try to be objective about my team. I bet heavy on the Giants money line early in the week last week because I knew the Giants would win that game against Dallas. This week is a different story however

We were right in saying that Washington would play hard against Dallas last week and this week will no different. The Washington defense has been playing much better, and if the offense can score some points then they might be able

Not quite the same allure as the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma, but this week’s Bedlam Rivalry game is Oklahoma State’s Super Bowl. The Cowboys have had a tremendous season so far and Oklahoma is sitting at 6-5, ensured of its worst season since 1999

Virginia coach Al Groh has beaten the Cavaliers’ arch rival Hokies just one time in his nine years at UVA. He and the Cavaliers look to make that number two and possibly avoid his firing this Saturday in Charlottesville. The Hokies are in a down year at 8-3 and will not contend for the ACC Championship,

Despite an 11-0 record up to this point, Alabama still realistically needs to win its next two games to get into the National Championship. With Florida a perfect 11-0 as well, the Crimson Tide will need to beat Auburn this week and Florida in the SEC Championship

Boise State doesn’t play too many home games where they are only 14 point favorites, but that is exactly what they are this week when Nevada comes to play on the blue turf. Boise State needs a win this week, and badly. Though the Broncos are 11-0, their only hope for a BCS appearance

At first glance you might think that it was quite a shocker that Oakland beat Cincinnati last week, but at we said the Bengals were coming off their biggest win in years and might be flat. We also felt that Jamarcus Russell was hindering the Raider offense and the switch to anybody but he was the correct move

Both of these teams are in big trouble, with Chicago maybe in a little more. Jay Cutler threw 5 interceptions last week. These teams seems to meet every year, and the game always comes down to the wire. This year will be no different.

F—king Phillip Rivers. His late touchdown drive vs the Giants last week cost me a 4 team parlay bet. Actually ,the fault lies with N.Y. for not putting it in the end zone from the 4 yard line, after they intercepted that pass with 3 minutes left. You had to know that Rivers would go right down the field, because that what Phillip Rivers does

The Eagles crushed the Giants last week, but it was not as much due to their good play as much as the terrible play of the Giants. The Cowboy-Seahawk game was similar, in the fact that did the Cowboys play that well or did the Seahawks play that bad

The Giants have really looked bad the last 2 weeks, and there is reason to be very concerned in Giant Camp. The Eagles used a few big plays to cover vs. Washington last week. Just to give full disclosure, I am a Giant fan, but I believe I am also very objective about my team and know them inside and out.

You must be kidding me. After losing to Oakland last week, why are the Eagles laying a touchdown versus anybody, even the lowly Redskins. Did you read somewhere that for the first 6 weeks of the season, every team that Washington played came into the game win less?

This game scares us. The Raiders looked like a bad high school team last week at the Giants. The Eagles still haven’t played anyone good, and when they did they got killed by New Orleans. Philly shouldn’t be laying 2 touchdowns vs. anybody

The Eagles are coming off a bye week, and should be ready to play here. If the Bucs couldn’t beat Washington last week when they had a 10 point lead, they are not going to win this game

Both of these teams have problems. Miami really can’t play offense at the N.F.L. level. They look like a college or high school team at times, with their “Wildcat” offense and their quarterback who throws the ball like a shot put. Another quarterback, who has a funky delivery is Phillip Rivers

We are not touching this game with a ten foot pole. First of all, you have no idea who is playing quarterback for the Eagles. Donavan McNabb is still questionable with bruised ribs. So they brought in Jeff Garcia for backup.

This game scares me, not only as a Giant fan but as a bettor. This is a trap game for the Giants. After 2 huge wins against division rivals, Dallas and Washington, they now play 3 games in a row versus bad teams

The next 2 games that we are picking, we are going a little bit out on a limb. There are 2 home dogs that both played very well last week as huge underdogs. Both teams had opportunities to win outright but didn’t.

Even though we don’t feel that Donovan McNabb is that great a quarterback, he is still better than Kevin Kolb. Since McNabb is out this week with cracked ribs, and Michael Vick is not yet off his suspension, the Eagles will lose this game.

This is an excellent game between 2 teams that are “solid”, but overrated. Philadelphia goes into this game a 1 point favorite. Everyone is picking the Eagles to go to the Superbowl. Ridiculous!

After last year’s fluke injury in which quarterback Tom Brady missed the last 15 games of the season, New England bounces back with a healthy signal caller and a hunger to make the playoffs.

Probably the most well known handicapping angle is the “Monday Night Home Underdog.”

Stop thinking about rain by itself as a bad weather indicator. Look at the mix of wind, turf quality, and precipitation. It's the mix that matters, not one third of the mix.

Bettors no longer have to look at mere sides and/or game totals to strike it rich as mostly all the online sports books (and many Las Vegas) outlets provide first and second half wagering lines along with quarter by quarter prices too on football betting.
