00:00Let's take a look at how this game should play out in my mind.
00:03Two very good offenses getting after it.
00:05If we're looking at the line itself, three and a half.
00:07Am I in love with taking the Eagles at the three and a half?
00:10Not necessarily, because I do think Washington's a very good football team, but the Eagles
00:13also activating that practice window for Jordan Mailotta.
00:18Eagles also cutting a tight end to free up a roster space that hasn't been used yet in
00:23anticipation.
00:24It looks like it's going to be Jordan Mailotta, their left tackle.
00:26They need him back for this one.
00:27It looks like they're on the way to that.
00:29So the Eagles have that very good offensive line back intact.
00:31Saquon Barkley has been tremendous, and as we said, Jalen Hurts looks like he's somewhat
00:36putting away those turnover tendencies, even though he had two last week, stepped up and
00:40still played a good football game after those turnovers in the first half.
00:43Eagles mauled the Dallas Cowboys.
00:45But also last week, as we sat on the Pro Football Today set, I said to myself from an Eagles
00:50perspective, I don't know if I can lay the seven and a half with the Eagles against Dallas.
00:54Not because I think Dallas is a good football team, because they're not, but there was a
00:57lot of question marks.
00:58How was Dallas Goddard going to play in that game coming back from the hamstring injury?
01:02No worse for the wear.
01:03Devontae Smith, who was battling a hamstring injury throughout practice week last week,
01:07made it through that football game.
01:08He looks to be fine.
01:09A.J. Brown, who left the previous game with a knee injury, played last week and looked
01:13fine himself.
01:14So now you're telling me all the Philadelphia Eagles are full goal in the defense that's
01:18playing better.
01:19That is an advantage towards them.
01:21If we are looking at the 48 and a half, yes, technically, I think it goes over because
01:25you have two very good offenses going toe to toe.
01:28I think the Eagles defense gets a slight nod over the Washington defense at this time
01:32that most people probably would agree with that.
01:34They've been playing great football.
01:35Zach Vaughn looks like the best linebacker in football out of nowhere when he was supposed
01:38to be a backup linebacker, splash, you know, slash special teamer and maybe rush the passer.
01:45He has been absolutely sensational.
01:47Now let's take a look at the markets here and we'll just go with Vandal just to keep
01:51it simple.
01:52Anytime touchdown score for tomorrow.
01:55Nick one Barkley listed at a minus one 80 price, Jalen Hurts at a minus one 10.
01:58So two Philadelphia Eagles started off Austin Eckler.
02:03You know what?
02:04Let me get the practice report because I just want to see what's going on in Washington.
02:07As you saw last week, Marshawn Lattimore, I know yesterday did not practice and that
02:11doesn't bode well here for him playing this weekend or this Thursday night.
02:15Excuse me.
02:16Didn't practice on Monday.
02:17Didn't practice on Tuesday.
02:18Now there are light reports, but their estimations, if you had a full practice, if those players
02:23what their participation rates would be, he didn't practice at all.
02:26Brian Robinson did get in limited practicing on Monday and Tuesday with that hamstring
02:30injury.
02:31I don't know if I can trust him there.
02:33So that's why Austin Eckler comes in at a plus one 15 price with Brian Robinson.
02:37That number certainly will change if Brian Robinson doesn't play.
02:41But if he does play the chance of reinjuring that hamstring always on my mind.
02:46So if I'm taking a running back from a Washington perspective, anticipating that, yes, both
02:50of these guys play, it's probably still going to be Austin Eckler for me at plus one 15.
02:53Do I think Saquon Barkley scores?
02:55Yes, but it's apparent on this team.
02:57They don't worry about feelings.
02:58Saquon Barkley has been a great teammate all the way through saying all the right things,
03:03but that's not going to get him to carry the ball in the goal line.
03:05And I think he understands that now.
03:07If that ball is in, you know, has interference in the end zone, lining up around the one
03:12and a half yard liner in, that is a quarterback sneak each and every time.
03:15And it proves worthy of it.
03:17So when you're trying to factor in, is Saquon going to score?
03:20And maybe if they're on the goal line, he gets the carry.
03:22He never gets those carries, but he's still listed at a minus 180 because, yes, he can
03:27score from the 10 yard line, the eight yard line, from the seven yard line, from the five
03:31yard line, from the 20 yard line, from the 50 yard line.
03:33He can do that.
03:34I think Saquon Barkley is a legitimate chance to score.
03:37Minus 180 price.
03:38Are we betting that?
03:39I'm not so sure.
03:40Jalen Hurts at a minus 110.
03:41That ball's inside the two.
03:42That's an automatic touchdown.
03:43It's almost hard to pass up and it's crazy that he is still priced around that plus 100
03:48range.
03:49But I'm telling you right now, the guy that I have my focus on right now, and his price
03:54point is dropping a little bit.
03:56It's A.J. Brown.
03:57It's a plus 130.
