Why is everyone on Denver -12?

That is way to many points IMO.

I think Eagles lose the game, but they can run the ball and move the ball and move the chains.

Denver has played an overrated and quite frankly WEAK Baltimore team in a perfect spot for them to open the season, at home.

The Giants, who obviously are a PITIFUL football team. 38-0 against Carolina??? and they took their foot off the gas pedal unlike Denver.

Raiders.........................

I'm just as impressed with Denver's offensive weapons. however, I am not sold on them being a complete football team. I think Eagles hang here McCoy will go for 200 total yards

I don't know but they did a good job containing Pryor and shut down McFadden - Vick is old and his best days are behind him - eagles defense sucks Manning is unstoppable I think the cover - eagles aren't a "mature professional" team they pout and give up when they are getting spanked

Not me.. But I like the over.

because a team of sbr members can score 14 on the eagles D, imagine how they can contain manning welker, decker and the thomas brothers (i know they arent bros). Kelly fast paced offense goes various time 3 and out, vick gives turnover, Den will at least score 45, if the eagles can score 5 tds then take it to the bank

maybe cause theyre the best team in nfl and invincible at home? and eagles suck? although Denver Dnot so good and eagles should score some- I think overs a good bet

I like the idea of the over, but thats an absurd ammount of points to lay. This is the NFL, no matter how high the guys on one side of the ball are performing the other side of the ball gets paid to. Granted, Eagles defense is weak, but dont just let stats fool you . Denver allows more passing yards per game than Eagles. Granted, teams are playing ketchup but once again, not very high octane offenses so far (Raiders, Impotent Gmen, and Ravens who were offensively terrible out of the gate first two weeks, even half of last week) I also believe there Rushing defense is overrated...Philli is averagine 6.6 yards per rush compared to Denvers 3.8.....Also yield a higher yard per pass....While the only statistical advantage per is the rushing, where I think Phili's offfense outweighs that stat.

From a less analytical, football standpoint, Phili comes to play I do not think the Denver run game is good enough to hold a heavy lead against a high octane offense that has potential to score in the blink of an eye, I think Denvers defense shows some weaknesses this week.

Im not sold on the Eagles as a football team....and if they turn the ball over it could get ugly, but thats the case in any matchup.

Good luck either way

I'll take the prop bet that McCoy goes for 200

Seriously though, as great as he is, he won't get the touches in this game because they'll be playing from behind.
