00:00On Thursday night football between the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:04If you're watching line show over the summer, it was roughly six to six and a half,
00:07depending on where you're shopping at.
00:08They now sit at seven and a half to eight and a half here,
00:12depending on where you're shopping at.
00:13Why?
00:13The Micah Parsons move.
00:15People are high on the Philadelphia Eagles.
00:17Buyer always beware in week number one, because understand this.
00:20I don't even know if like a single starter played for the Philadelphia Eagles in the preseason.
00:24So expectations are, yes, the Eagles are still going to be good,
00:27but you never know it until they play.
00:29You got 80 snaps and say, okay, well, we're back here.
00:31Yes, we won a Super Bowl last year, but how do you figure, Joe, on this point spread?
00:35Let's start there.
00:36Eagles under a touchdown favorite to now over a touchdown favorite.
00:40Is that just the public saying with Micah Parsons gone, the expectations,
00:43and we're beating up the Dallas Cowboys like a pinata right now?
00:45That's factoring in?
00:48Well, it's, listen, I mean, no team has ever gotten more of the benefit of the doubt
00:53in the markets than Dallas.
00:55But, you know, when you consider the fact that Philadelphia outscored Dallas last year,
01:0175 to 13 in two games, I think the public is certainly going, yeah, right.
01:09So we have pretty much the entire Philadelphia team on both sides of the ball back.
01:15And Dallas is actually, well, they just traded away their superstar defensive player.
01:19So, yeah, we're going to keep buying into Philadelphia, blowing them out.
01:24But I'd be careful, Donnie, because history tells us in these spots, week one, divisional
01:31dogs, a lot of familiarity with these two teams.
01:35And, oh, yeah, it's not like Dallas' offense.
01:37It's not because Schottenheimer's the coach.
01:40Schottenheimer's been the OC there for three years.
01:42So Dak and this offense, very acclimated with one another here.
01:47So more than a side, Donnie, you're dealing with the spread.
01:51I don't know that I want to lay seven right out of the gate in a divisional rivalry.
01:56But my goodness, how is this thing not going to go up and over the total?
