00:00The Eagles right now, six-point favorite,
00:03one five-and-a-half, one six-and-a-half from what I can see.
00:05The total in this football game has dropped throughout the week.
00:09We're seeing 44-and-a-half and one flat 44.
00:13Side total, what grabs your eye?
00:14Well, it's the Eagles.
00:15I lean to the under, don't love it, but I think the Eagles smash job.
00:19I do.
00:20I think it's all Saquon Barkley.
00:21I do feel they run the football.
00:24They set the tempo at home.
00:26I do like Jalen Hurts on the ground.
00:28I think he'd blow through his rushing total.
00:31Wouldn't shock me if he scores today at plus 115 any time touchdown.
00:35But, again, you have to ride your workhorse.
00:38I know that he hasn't done it up until this point, but it is the playoffs.
00:43You have a vulnerable front seven that has been susceptible
00:46to lesser rushing and running backs.
00:51Now I expect Saquon to turn it on.
00:53This is a different animal in the playoffs.
00:56Yeah, I think that that is incredibly fair.
00:58I, from a side perspective, would lean towards Philly.
01:01From a total perspective, I maybe slightly lean towards the over.
01:05I think that the Eagles will be scoring in this football game.
01:08The thing is, when I look at the Philadelphia Eagles and how they do their scoring
01:12in really the last two or so months of this season, it's throwing the football.
01:17Jalen Hurts had one of his more prolific passing touchdown seasons of his career.
01:25He threw 25.
01:27That is the most.
01:28And, again, he only played the 16 games.
01:31This is a – I expect him to throw two.
01:34And at even money, that is a fantastic bet to me against a Niners team, Joe,
01:40that gives up a lot of passing touchdowns.
01:41I know you like Saquon on the ground, but just numbers-wise to me,
01:45I really like Jalen Hurts in this football game to throw multiple touchdowns.
01:49Yeah, if the rushing attack gets going, he'll be able to work off a play action.
01:53So it should be there.
01:55Is he going to go to Goddard, AJ, or Devontae?
01:58I mean, if I had to pick, it would be Devontae in a big spot.
02:01I always like Devontae to step up.
02:03He always goes typically through his receiving total in big ballgames,
02:08and I expect him to potentially hit pay dirt.
02:10But, again, if you're the Eagles and you knew the identity that you had last year
02:16and now you've been bouncing back into form, you have to take this game to San Francisco.
02:21You cannot throw caution to the wind and say we want to throw it just because.
02:28We have to really take the game the way Seattle did and play bully ball.
02:31This is an opportunity in your house, in the link, to establish the rush.
02:36Let's say Quan Cook.
02:38Then you can work off play action, and this game should be a smash job.
02:43It should be a double-digit victory by the Eagles.
02:47I don't see it any other way.
02:48Again, the only thing I can't get to is the total 44-and-a-half
02:52just because if the game plays out the way I believe,
02:57I think Brock Purdy and that offense could be a little bit limited
03:00the way they were against Seattle and struggling to score points.
03:04I am also on the first quarter over at 7-and-a-half in Sirianni's coaching career.
03:10Seven of nine postseason games have had ten or more points in the opening quarter.
03:13Not always by the Eagles.
03:14More often than not by the Eagles.
03:16Sometimes they have it.
03:17Sometimes they don't.
03:18Either way, the points come early.
03:20When the Philadelphia Eagles play in the playoffs, that is what I am expecting.
03:25I think the first quarter could be something like 14-3, quite frankly.
03:31I think that that is on the board.
03:33But again, it doesn't mean I like the over.
03:34We know that these Eagles games have a tendency to slow down.
