Sunday's Selection ...
For Sunday, 2000♦ Double-Your-Wager winner isthe Philadelphia Eagles as the road favorite over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. At 6:00 am eastern time, the Eagles are -3 1/2 points in Vegas and offshore. Note: If your line is anywhere from -3 to -4 1/2 points, I advise buying the half-point down.
I don't know what the hell to make of Tampa Bay' upset win in New Orleans last Sunday, as I had pegged the Bucs as a team that was not likely to do to much this year. To be honest, they have exceeded my expectations with that one win. LOL.
Even though they are at home for this date with the defending Super Bowl Champs, I do not expect Ryan Fitzpatrick to duplicate his 4 touchdown pass performance - 5 overall TD's - from a week ago against this Eagles defense that held Atlanta to only 12-points in their Week One win and cover at home. Too many playmakers on this Philly "D", and make no mistake, they will make some big plays against the suspect Fitzpatrick!
As for the Birds on offense, Nick Foles was not in prime form, but he got the offense going enough to earn the victory, and they have covered in 7 of their last 10 games away from home - Super Bowl included.
Foles did not do much during the preseason, and he sure didn't do much against the Falcons, but with a few more extra days of prep, expect him to ratchet-up his level of play today as Philadelphia shows us a little more than they showed in their 18-12 win over Atlanta.
Not yet sold on Tampa, even with that shocker in the Big Easy last week. Play
