00:00If we take a quick snapshot here of the NFC and the top teams in it here,

00:04the Philadelphia Eagles are the odds favorite right now at a plus 330 price,

00:07the Rams at a plus 340, the Lions at a plus 430, the Seahawks at a 5-1,

00:12then the Green Bay Packers and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

00:15Really good teams involved there, but I'm going to start with this question first, Joe.

00:19The Philadelphia Eagles at 7-2 if the season ended right now would be the number one overall seed.

00:23They have beaten the Los Angeles Rams and they will play the Detroit Lions next week.

00:27Now, sometimes you want to wait just to see because if the Eagles do pick up a victory,

00:31that would be massive if they knock off the Lions, the Vikings, and the Packers.

00:36One of the toughest divisions in football was still a game against the Chicago Bears,

00:40which I think is the Black Friday game in Philadelphia.

00:43That will be something to crow about, but I'm going to wait until next week

00:46to crowning the Philadelphia Eagles the NFC champions,

00:48but do you agree of how these odds fall with the Eagles, Rams, Lions, and Seahawks?

00:53Yeah, I mean, for the most part, yes, and I think we'll have a pretty good idea

00:57this week with the Rams and the Seahawks getting ready to do battle,

01:01so I think we'll have a pretty good indication of where those two teams

01:04match up against one another.

01:07But the Eagles, listen, has it been pretty?

01:10No.

01:10Has it been consistent?

01:13No.

01:13But that really doesn't matter at the end of the day, Donnie,

01:16because we still have, you know, there's 18 weeks in the season,

01:20then you got the postseason, and there's still plenty of time,

01:22and we've seen the Eagles do this before.

01:25You know, they start slow.

01:27They figure it out.

01:28It's not for a lack of talent.

01:30They plug the holes on the defense.

01:32It's a championship defense now.

01:34Now they just got to get a little more consistent in the offense.

01:38And, yes, they're champs until somebody beats them, Donnie.

01:41So as far as I'm concerned, they should be the rightful favorite here.

01:44So as far as I'm concerned, they should be the rightful favorite here.
