**Raiders at Eagles**(-12.5, 38.5) 1:00 (1 Viewer)

Raiders 16
Eagles 12

Eagles hold a 4 FG to 3 FG late into the 4th quarter in a game neither team wants to win.

Then Kenny Pickett throws a long touchdown to Tre Tucker.

Neither Eagles fans OR Raiders fans are happy.

The entire FBG celebrates.

3 more Eagles Hating HaHa Threads are born.

This screams Eagles bounce back to me. Raiders are falling apart, and while I actually think it might benefit them for Pickett to be starting (Geno is trying to do too much, and getting himself killed) I don't expect success against this defense. I wouldn't even be all that excited about starting Bowers this week (not that you can really sit him) or Jeanty (best chance of a TD though) even without (the overrated) Jalen Carter, I expect the Eagles pass rush to give the Raiders fits. 4 sacks feels like a fair over/under.

For the Eagles, I think the AJ Brown train keeps on chugging. I expect him to see primarily 3rd round rookie Darien Porter, who has been pretty rough. No reason to think Brown doesn't get his 4th straight 100-yard game. I think they look to get Hurts going early, before leaning on Barkley once they get a decent lead. Barkley feels scary in this matchup, where the Raiders not so magnificent front 7 (Crosby and the ridiculous 6 really) will get pushed around by the Eagles banged up OL. This could be a 20+ Barkley week easily.

Eagles-28
Raiders-7
 
The Eagles finally run some successful RPOs and Jalen ends up with 10-13 carries. This opens up lanes for Saquon and across the middle for the WRs. Last week was such an aberration with Jalen’s turnovers, AJs drops, etc. I just see a huge bounce back / get right game here today and a resetting of expectations for the birds ROS.

Eagles win 31-17

The Eagles offense looked more competent last week, stopped by uncharacteristic turnovers instead of ineptitude or penalties like prior weeks. I think that continues, except without the turnovers. The result will be the biggest blowout of the year for Philly. AJB is gonna go off for 150+ and 2 TDs. Add 140 and a TD for Saquon and 7 catches for Devonta. 31-10 Philly
 
Don't expect to see many plays of this game today. NOt a premium matchup worthy of much Redzone coverage and not broadcast locally

Raiders went for it 4th and 6th in FG range? IN the FIRST QUARTER?

I have no problem with that. Trading TDs to FGs with the Eagles isn't a path to victory.

I think it was a surprisingly counter old school football call from Pete Carroll who, if I remember my history right, invented football back in 1876.
 
yep saw that flag coming....but not sure Cooper makes that play in tight coverage if DB stayed clean
