00:00Mhm. It's like I genuinely think the commanders could easily beat the Eagles
00:07tonight, but uh, you know, the Eagles have played very good football over the
00:11past month or 3.5 point favorites. I guess from a spread perspective, if I'm
00:15saying that, that means I'm taking the commanders. But when you think about it,
00:19even, you know, the Bears game that they shouldn't have won, it was a hail
00:22Mary, the game that they lost against Pittsburgh last week. You could make
00:26the case. Who knows? They get the ball back, kick a field goal, they win. So
00:29boy, I think this one is a complete toss up for me. Yeah, I think you're right
00:34about both teams could win. And because that line is 3.5, that would give the
00:39edge to to sort of backing the commanders there to keep it within a
00:42field goal at the very least. And that's the way I look at it, too. But
00:46you're right. When you look at the Eagles, the Eagles are quietly one of
00:50the best teams in the NFL. And for whatever reason, it doesn't seem like
00:54they get that credit. Maybe it's because of how they ended last year.
00:57Maybe it's because of Nick Sirianni's head scratching decisions throughout
01:01this year where they've almost lost some games where it felt like they
01:05should have won by more, whatever it is. This team is stacked. They have a
01:08fantastic defense. We know what they can do on offense. They have the most
01:12unstoppable certain short fourth and short play in the NFL, even though it
01:16hasn't been quite as good this year as last year. It's still very good. And
01:19then you have Saquon Barkley on top of all this to add what they had last
01:24year. This team is really good, and and I don't think they get quite enough
01:29credit. But at the same time, like you said, the commanders are a fantastic
01:32team to define a lot of the odds. Whatever you know, the Cliff Kingsbury
01:37offense that people say will get figured out or that got figured out in
01:40Arizona hasn't gotten figured out yet. And Jane Daniels is still doing what
01:44he does. So I do think the Eagles are certainly the safer money line pick
01:49being at home and on a short week, you know, having a veteran quarterback
01:53who's more used to that. But at the same time, I think the commanders can
01:56certainly keep this one within a field goal, and I definitely think they can
02:00win too if they just get a couple breaks. Yeah, what's interesting is
02:04that if they do win tonight, they'll be favored to win the division. And right
02:08now they're plus 1 95 to win the division on the money line there. So if
02:12you think they're gonna win, I think that I would take that bet tonight at
02:16plus 1 95. If again, you think they're going to win because again, that puts
02:20them in the tiebreaker scenario. This is the last big plus money spot to win
02:24the division that you would get with Washington, and we won't even get into
02:27Dallas, and we won't even get into the Giants.
