00:00Joe, let's start with the game on sunday that was finalized yesterday

00:04It will be in philadelphia the eagles now know who they will be hosting

00:09That is the la rams projected

00:11Hypothetical odds for this matchup did see la as a six and a half point dog in philadelphia

00:18If they were able to outlast minnesota last night, but the rams look rather dominant in doing so

01:51Uh get better and better as the season progressed and it's funny

01:54That seems to be a theme here. Don't we because we can say the same thing about the ravens defense
