Cowboys/Vikings line has a stink on it that goes all the way to Vegas. Cowboys lose in Green Bay giving up a two TD lead in 4th quarter something they hadn't done in 195 games including the playoffs. Vikings win an emotional game against the Bills in OT. They are 8-1, Cowboys are 6-3. You blow lead in Green Bay against a battered team and they install the Cowboys are a 1pt road favorite. Why???? The trap is obviously to bet the Vikings as a dog. It is a line that makes you scratch your head.
Opened Dallas -2'. Years ago it use to be a pretty strong system play.A team goes on the road and wins straight up as a dog.Comes Home and is a dog on Turf.Last handful of years has been about 50/50. Vikings in that spot as a dog.Looks like early money took it down to -1.Would be hard for me to back Vikings in this spot.They are finding ways to win. though.In a league of crazy decisions and poor clock and game management, I really have not seen any ridiculous decisions out of Oconnell from Minesotta yet.Which you cannot say about a lot of coaches.
Philly is significantly healthier than Washington, and of course much more talented, top OL and receivers and impact defenders.
Washington will be playing for their lives, though, and Philly might be going thru the motions, so if I play it’ll be on Washington plus the double digit points, probably small.
Philly might get riled up or something along the way and play lights out for the home crowd.

Agree that Wash will be playing to try and keep some type of season alive but have a hard time believing any Pro team that is 8-0 playing a crap team at home is going to be going through the motions. They certainly want to stay undefeated and especially not get beat at home by the Comrades.

Washington will get them tonight. I have that feeling. Just like yesterdays GB/Dal game. Everyone was all over Dallas. Tonights game same feeling. Every since Heinicke stepped in he has given Commanders a chance . Its the 2nd go around for these two this season. Eagles got them first round with Wentz. I think its comin tonight. When everyone least expects it. Just my thought.
Very good facts
Poor Eagles or any team that appears to be superior. Easy to say they will lose regular season and/or playoffs ... the odds are against them ... only 1 undefeated team ever and that was a shorter schedule so how is it an accomplishment to successfully predict the Eagles will lose?
To say the Eagles have beat no one is not a true measurement. They crushed Minn who happens to be the only other 8 win team in the NFL. As for 7 win teams there's KC, NYG & Miami so who are the Eagles suppose to be playing that would justify their record? In addition to Minn they will play NYG twice then we'll see who's better. The Eagles this year already defeated Arizona, Dallas Pitt who were quality last year. Is it the Eagles fault those teams fell so much and don't forget part of the reason those teams look bad record wise is they have an L instead of a W vs Philly. Funny when people speak of the greatness of the Patriots (who I believe were great) You don't hear much about the conferance they played in featuring bad Jets, bad Buffalo and bad Miami that's 6 gifts a year.
We all have opinions ... But all we really have as a barometer is wins and losses and the Eagles have no losses. Even if they were to lose tonight they would still have the best record as they beat Minn who is the only 1 loss team.
I'm not saying the Eagles will be the best but for now 8-0 says it all.
