Cant give many positive stats about Philadelphia and comments will come in such as the worst defensive team in the league, 3-12 ATS in its last 15 games, 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games on the road, 1-13 SU in its last 14 games on the road. Sorry but I just cant back a Denver team at these high $ with that much risk. Win/loss records looks variably different but side by side these teams are very similar.I would rather take my chances with Philadelphia considering the possible payoff. Same thing happened with Milwaukee in Wash, had Milwaukee +425 ML road win Vs. Washington and they won in OT with a dismal record also. These ML/spreads are inflated and the books are playing tricks. Sorry I wont fall for it. Play at your own risk. This is merely my opinion. GL with your plays.
