    Eagles are at home.....remember in NFL this adds about 3-4 points to the spread.
    So on a neutral field at this point in time, the Ravens would probably be about 2-3 point favorites.

    Phil getting a lot of respect in Vegas. Thought they were laying too many points to Clev. I would grade this game as a PK or Balt slight Fav.

    I know, right.

    The public will probably be all over the Ravens and Vick will come out and get 200 yards rushing with 4td's.

    LOL don't it always work out like that with "easy" picks?

    The real question is if The Prick will be all over Baltimore again in week two.

    This is a game I won't play. If the ravens cover I will think, "Well whatever" and if the eagles cover I will be thankful I didn't play

    Ravens on a short week coming into the most hostile environment in the NFL and playing the most explosive offense in professional football. Im surprised its not closer to 7.

    The most explosive offense in football that was held to 17 points. By Cleveland. Going against the Ravens D.

    Philly threw the ball what 56 times on the road against second best pass defense? terrible GM plan, really like Philly put up big score, also flacco looked pretty good yesterday but he also should have thrown 3 picks now going on road

    Vick will toss a couple of INT's in this one, if he doesn't get injured first. Baltimore is supremely confident going into this game and the no-huddle offense is clicking. Philly better hope that they can run on Baltimore and that Flacco is still an inconsistent performer.

    Boys, this line is fukked up.

    There is no way the Eagles should be favorites against Baltimore.

    Based on what?

    Barely surviving against Cleveland?

    Why should the Eagles be favorites here?

    Vick was rusty and we still put up over 450 yards of offense. Eagles will win this game with ease. The ravens D is old and minus suggs they are average at best.

    I would say there about 10 QB's better than Vick in the league. And if you look at upside (Luck, RG3, Newton, Dalton) he may fall further than that. Plus he is injury prone. Dynamic for sure, but not as good as advertised imo.

    You act like this is something special. He threw the ball 56 times.

    You throw the ball that many times you should have 450 yards of offense.

    The Ravens D is a lot better than Cleveland's.

    The real question is whether Baltimore can pull ahead with their up-temo offense? We saw something interesting yesterday, in that the Ravens won the cointoss and chose to receive rather than kick. Their new game plan is to score points first and fast and force the other team to play catch-up, which helps to simplify their defensive strategy, while also playing into their strength. Bengals gave them a ride for their money when the game was close, but couldn't do anything when they had to go to the air. Big question is whether the Eagles can score points first and consistently. Vick is on record questioning the mentality of his players and that's not a good sign, especially against the Browns. Not sure I'm playing ths game, because if the Eagles can play balanced football, Ravens could be tested.

    The thing about the Eagles is that they are extremely hit or miss... they could win by 14 or lose by 14. you honestly never know.

    Balanced football? They threw the ball 56 times and only ran it 30. That is not balance my friend.

    Who cares about Week 1, pretend it never existed.

    Eagles should be -3 at least.

    "if the Eagles can play balanced football,"

    Don't expect the same strategy that was shown against the Browns to happen in Philly. No way the Eagles cater to the Ravens' strength.

    But that's my point. The Eagles don't play balanced football. Never did under Andy Reid. They always throw more than they pass. Sometimes to the point of being ridiculous.

    So, I do expect more of the same against the Ravens. Actually it makes more sense. The Eagles are not going to run the ball against that Ravens D. There's no chance.

    They are much better off staying in the short passing game of the west coast offense and hitting screens, slants, and dumpoffs. Also, Celek from the TE position could be valuable in this game.

    It ain't going to be easy no matter what the Eagles choose to do. Baltimore is a load.
