This team has been disappointing and under achieving the last few seasons and most of this one as well. There is alot of talent on both sides of the ball but they have not showed a ton of passion or fire in past seasons when the chips have been down particularly late in the season. On the surface this week looks like it has been distracting but in GoGo's opinion the friction and emotions happening right now may be just what this team needs to get over the hump.

Thanks all. It was not as comfortable as the 2 previous big games this year but it was a wire to wire victory. The Boys showed alot of heart last night and think this may finally push them over the hump. The Defense has steadily improved during the season which is a big factor this time of year. Would not be shocked to see this team playing at minimum for the NFC title.
Tough game tonight. Cannot think about playing the side to be honest. Philly should obviously win the game but have seen this team let down in similiar spots over the years though not typically this time of year. The Philly public is again feverishly behind this team and that typically is when they will let down. But cannot back this Cleveland team either although they have stayed within this number every game since their bye week except for last week.
See some value on the over but not enough to play it for the game. Don't see Cleve necessarily playing conservative as they nothing to lose. See plenty of chance for turnovers tonight which could easily equate to some points. Could envision Philly getting up early by enough that they will dial down the playbook to not show too much to future opponents. Andy has done that before. So based on that see more value on the first half over.
With a gun to the beak would say Eagles 27-14.
Regular Banko:
Philly/Cleve over 20 1st half
Good luck says GoGo.
