00:00The Eagles were 14 and three. They were fantastic on defense

00:04all season long. You see their 17.8 points per game

00:07offensively, no slouch, but certainly was their defense

00:09that got it done. Now, all of the props for the Eagles have

00:13shot up after last week's performance against Washington.

00:16And I guess Vinny, the question is, do you think that's legit?

00:18I mean, Hertz is now back to 2 and 11 passing yards. AJ

00:21Brown's numbers are up 10 yards from last week to 70. Devonta

00:25Smith up from 45 to 50. Goddard is at 51 who you just mentioned

00:29and Barkley down a little bit, but not a ton. One 10 and a

00:33half is his rushing yards prop. I feel like several of these

00:36have to go over Philadelphia to win.

00:39Yeah, for sure. And I think the biggest ones are in the top

00:42three with Joan Hertz, AJ Brown, and Devonta Smith. I think

00:46if Dallas Goddard, they'll be okay if they give up some yards

00:48in the middle of field to him. And again, that's a pretty good

00:51number for him to attack because he's a guy that's a bit of

00:54a downfield tight end. So you can get that in three or four

00:57catches and go past that number. So I do like that a lot

01:00for Goddard. I like the Kelsey number. I would say on Barkley,

01:03I think the Chiefs are going to be content. If he gets 120,

01:07they'll be happy with it if they win the game. I think they're

01:09just going to say, we got to contain him. Just don't have

01:11him break off like a 60-yard touchdown run or something like

01:15that. If he's grinding the ball 25 carries, gets five a pop,

01:19and gets 125, but it's not very effective with a big play

01:23running, I think the Chiefs will be just fine with that in this game.
