Its got to be sharp money, right? Detroit isn't going to be a public team, even coming off a win I would assume.

Zach Ertz.. Out
Ryan Mathews.. Out
Jason Kelce.. Quest
Jason Peters.. Quest

Some key players there for PHI

And do we even know who PHI QB will be? but does that even matter?

And very short week playing at noon on Thursday

Bookmaker Bob Scucci said the public and the sharps are both on Detroit (ESPN podcast, Behind the Bets)

Just heard a report on the radio saying multiple players and sources say chip jelly has lost the locker room. Maybe that aided the steam?

And the play at New England next week.......the Eagles can lose next 2 & go 4-8 & still win the division.

The NFC East is a wacky division.......

The question is, can the Eagles afford to lose their next 2 games?

They have a 3 game home stand after the Patriots game, but its against Bills......Arizona & Skins.......& their final game vs Giants probably for division title.

The Lions aren't going anywhere.......I'm starting to really hate this Lions game.

Better question is when did Detroit all of a sudden get good? They have been one of the worst teams in nfl all year, now because news comes out eagles players hate their coach & Detroit becomes a sharp play..... Not buying into it. It would be Philly or No play for me here.

Just because a team is bad at the beginning of a season doesn't necessarily mean they finish that way. Teams evolve over a season and Detroit is probably feeling confident as ever beating the Packers at Lambeau as well as handing the Raiders.

So why not?

One thing I have learned over the years is just because a team has to win, or can't afford not to lose-- doesn't mean they will.

I plan on drinking wine and consuming edibles to enjoy this one.

Sweet. Where at? If it's in between Lake County and Downers Grove, I'll be by at around 9, and then again at 4. ; )

I agree though, teams that NEED to win, have that need for a reason, usually because they aren't that good. Philly's last 4 games, pretty poor. Detroit is still Detroit though. But I think all things being equal, public likes to side with Detroit/Dallas on Turkey Day. We shall see.

:smoking:

Honestly, nothing would surprise me in this game. As you said, could be a close one, with some goofy shit happening. I mean, would it really surprise anyone if Philly blew out Detroit? Philly has some talent, and Detroit is, well, Detroit. Would it surprise you if Detroit blew out Philly? Lions are playing better, beat the Pack, Philly is in shambles.

Nothing should shock you. Easy no play for me.

this game is the season for philly with new England on deck a lost here and the season is over I know it's a bad division but this is a must win I believe the eagles will show up today they are 6-0 playing in Detroit. I said it from the start chip Kelly will get exposed with his bs college system the blue print is out and he has no answers his ego is to big getting rid of players bringing in garbage sam Bradford sucks always hurt Matthews always hurt murrary washed up draft pick's that can't even get on the field. sure he went 10-6 last 2 years with andy reids players after this year he will throw in the towel and head back to college watch and see I gave him 2 years wow it took 3 years.
