300♦ Philadelphia Eagles
In a battle of the birds I say take the Eagles as they soar past the Cardinals tonight. I mean thanks to the Eagles being at home on a short week and minus a very small number I totally see Philadelphia earning the home cover tonight. After all due to the Cardinals traveling to the dreaded eastern time zone where they have lost 16 of their last 18 games, including three loses at Washington, at New York and at Carolina this year Arizona is in big trouble tonight given the low number. Even worst news for the Cardinals is the fact that West coast teams this year are 0-14 SU when traveling to the eastern time zone. Meanwhile, the Eagles should not be counted out this season as Philadelphia still has a shot at the postseason. Also, look for a much better game out of McNabb as he has his pride to protect after his benching last week. Flat out, tonight is a very tough situation for the Cardinals as playing their fourth road game in six week and doing so on a short week in the cold is too much to overcome if you ask me. So with that I say take the Eagles minus the points as they win by at least a touchdown.
100♦ Texas Longhorns
Huge number without a doubt, but given the need for style points and the fact Texas is playing with double revenge I look for a 40 plus victory for the Longhorns tonight. After all due to the Aggies awful 4-7 record mixed in with their 113th ranked defense that is allowing 43 ppg in league play Texas A&M is totally outmanned tonight in Austin. I mean if Oklahoma was able to beat the Aggies by a score of 66-28 in College Station then the Longhorns with their explosive offense and solid defense should be able to duplicate the Sooners. Bottom line, Texas is in need for a huge attention grabbing win and thanks to playing a very bad Texas A&M team I look for the Longhorns to get a big win as they roll by at least 40 points. Take Texas minus the home points!
