00:00Eagles tonight, Chargers tonight, live from L.A.

00:03And by the way, Joe, is this one of those slime time, you know,

00:06Nickelodeon games, I believe, cartoon?

00:08Will you be watching this on the live feed, Joe,

00:10or the cartoon feed, I believe, tonight?

00:12Oh, the Nickelodeon feed?

00:14Yeah, no, no, we'll be doing that.

00:16Or though that might be more exciting than this game, Donnie,

00:20because something tells me if you're hoping for offense,

00:23this is not the game that you are going to be excited to watch here

00:26because this feels very much like the game that we just watched last night

00:31where first one to 17 or 20 is going to win this game, Donnie.

00:36Yeah, two 8-4 football teams going to get it underway tonight.

00:39And by the way, just looking at the standings here,

00:41the Chargers sit at 8-4 in the sixth spot right now.

00:44They dropped to 8-5.

00:45Now you bring in the Texans who won last night

00:47and also the Colts who are struggling here,

00:49and it starts to say, all right, now you're in a fight.

00:51A win by either one of these teams would be massive,

00:53particularly for the Philadelphia Eagles, just to hold off the Cowboys.

00:56I believe the Eagles win tonight.

00:57That really shuts the door on the Dallas Cowboys.

00:59If they lose, sort of creeps that door open just a little.

01:04Oh, there we go.

01:06Yeah, it does creep it open just a hair there, Donnie.

01:09You're right about that.

01:10But listen, Dallas, they're our own worst enemy.

01:14They created their own issues.

01:16But Philadelphia, to their credit, is bad

01:18and as inconsistent as they have looked,

01:21they certainly have an opportunity here to be able to say,

01:25OK, Dallas, you left the door open.

01:27Now we're about to slam it shut

01:29because we're going to beat the Chargers on the road,

01:33which, by the way, I'm continuing to look here,

01:36and we have got nothing but Philadelphia money and tickets

01:41in the marketplace.

01:42And yet this line continues to move towards the Chargers.

01:47I mean, right now, you could have gotten it, what, 2-1⁄2?

01:49Now down to 1-1⁄2.

01:51The money line is also getting a ton of money right now.

01:55So, yes, while Philadelphia really controls its own destiny,

02:01this is not a great matchup for them,

02:03given the current state of this offense.

02:06And we had just mentioned, you know, no Lane Johnson.

02:09Both of these teams are missing two of the most valuable starting tackles

02:13in the NFL.

02:14Joe Alt out for the Chargers.

02:16They've had to deal with that all year long.

02:19And Lane Johnson for the Eagles.

02:22And he is not walking through that door anytime soon.

02:25And we have seen what this,

02:27how much Lane Johnson means to the offense of the Eagles is crazy.

02:32Absolutely crazy.

02:33Just ask Saquon Barkley how much and how valuable is.

02:38Ask Jalen Hurts.

02:39The numbers, I mean, they drop almost a full yard per play worse

02:43when Lane Johnson is not on the field.

02:46They can't run.

02:46They're having trouble in the passing game.

02:49Everything looks disjointed.

02:51Now on the other side, you don't have Jalen Carter,

02:54who is one of the better run stoppers in the NFL,

02:58one of the top five run stoppers in the NFL.

03:00And now he's not going to be here because we told you earlier last week

03:05that somehow he had surgery on both shoulders,

03:07and he's going to miss at least a month.

03:11So now they're coming off a game in which the Chicago Bears

03:15ran it right down their throat.

03:17They're taking on a Chargers team with a head coach in Jim Harbaugh

03:21that knows what the blueprint is now for the Eagles,

03:25who are going to miss their best run stopper.

03:28You know, it doesn't shock me that the money is coming in on the Chargers

03:33and has been all week.

03:34The public looks at this Philadelphia team and still sees a world champion.

03:39But the influential bettors are looking at this team and going,

03:44it's week 14.

03:45The idea that they are just going to flip a switch right now

03:48and everything is going to be well with this offense,

03:50it's not going to happen.

03:52They're talented on paper,

03:54but they are about as disjointed a team right now with this much talent

03:58that we have seen in a long time.

04:00Now they got to go cross country, play on a Monday night.

04:04Harbaugh has dominated Monday night football here,

04:08not to mention the Chargers in a very good spot.

04:11Even though Herbert had that surgery on his non-throwing hand there,

04:17I don't think it's going to be a problem one way or the other.

04:20I don't think it's going to be a problem one way or the other.

04:23I think it's going to be a problem one way or the other.

04:28All right.

04:29Let's go.
