00:00And speaking of Philadelphia, Craig, I don't know if you saw this.
00:03You mentioned that you like the Jacksonville Jaguars
00:07who are coming out of a game in London.
00:09They stayed there, by the way,
00:10because they have another game coming up this week against Houston.
00:14But the team, the Eagles is a fascinating scheduling spot to me
00:20because you don't often see teams shipped over to London
00:24to play an international game
00:25and then have to come back and not only play a game, Craig, in this spot,
00:31but play against a team that had a bye week.
00:35And that's what they did to the Eagles here
00:38is if they don't have enough going on,
00:40the Eagles have to come home, fly from London,
00:43which they, again, lost the game they should have won,
00:46fly home, short week now, and take on a Carolina Panthers team
00:50who has spent now the last almost two weeks prepping for them here
00:55with all those injuries.
00:57I mean, you don't often see the schedule work
01:00where it's one thing to schedule them to play,
01:02but you're giving them a game against the team that had a bye week?
01:06That seems a little unfair.
01:08Yeah, it is unusual.
01:10I don't, I mean, I suppose that does happen,
01:12but yeah, it is unusual in Philadelphia now.
01:15I think they're down to Damian Pierce at running back,
01:17if I saw that correctly today.
01:19Yeah, so, yeah.
01:22Look, it's, it's, look, I think Philadelphia has now,
01:25they're not waving the white flag,
01:27but when you lose the way that you've lost
01:28the last couple of weeks, it's really hard.
01:30It's hard to come back from that.
01:32But look, I think in that game,
01:35you can show me the graphic one more time.
01:36In that game in particular,
01:38the odds makers are certainly telling us
01:40that Philadelphia has got a great shot to win this game.
01:42So this is not one that I am going to touch.
01:44I believe Carolina is the better team.
01:46This is the prove it game for them to show that they are in it,
01:49to show them that they could potentially go on the road,
01:52beat a good team.
01:53So now Philadelphia doesn't have any home field advantage, Craig,
01:55because you're telling me the odds makers at plus one,
01:59plus one and a half, on a neutral site,
02:02you're telling me Carolina's the better team?
02:04How is this not at least three for Philadelphia?
02:07Because they were just so destroyed.
02:09They lost two games in a row in the last minute
02:11and have no receivers or running backs.
02:13I mean, how can you make them a favorite at all?
02:15But I mean, it's, it, yeah, it's, look,
02:19it's maybe a half, maybe a half point or a point.
02:22Yeah.
02:23Is he quite, so him and Devontae Smith are questionable.
02:26So if they play, I think that line probably moves.
02:31If they get announced, that line probably moves.
02:34Not a ton, but two, two and a half.
02:35Yeah, I can see that.
02:36I just want to see Carolina win this game.
02:38And then I can, you know, officially say,
02:41well, I mean, they don't have to, it's October,
02:44but if they win this game.
02:47Yeah.
02:47If they lose, it goes back to,
02:49if it lose, it goes back to them, Atlanta, Tampa Bay,
02:53all those teams last week of the season,
02:54whoever wins nine gets in.
02:56If they lose this game, if they win,
02:57all of a sudden, I think you think to yourself,
02:59wait a second here.
03:01Caroline is the clear favorite to win the division.
03:03I think at that point, if, if they win this one,
03:05that that's what sort of its thing.
03:07Saints have looked horrible.
03:08Buccaneers are going nowhere.
03:11Falcons.
03:11I mean, don't ask me.
03:13I can't figure out what they're doing week to week.
03:14I got no clue.
03:15One week.
03:15They look great.
03:16One week.
03:16They look horrible.
03:18Um, I think Carolina has looked the best,
03:20but I'd like to see them win this one to put themselves.
03:24Me too.
03:25But by the way,
03:26if Carolina played anyone this week on the road,
03:29it would be for,
03:29it wouldn't be just for me.
03:31It wouldn't be about Philly.
03:32It'd be about anybody.
03:33I want to see Carolina off the by,
03:35go on the road,
03:36beat a good team.
03:37I take it back.
03:38Beat any team,
03:40get that win.
03:40And then we can start talking about that.
03:42I mean, maybe not Tennessee or Tampa Bay,
03:44but like, yeah, like they, they, uh, they,
03:47they could win this one,
03:48but it's not a game that I looked this morning at like some of my favorite
03:51ones to see if I could identify.
03:53This was, this was one where I was just like, Oh, I don't know.
03:55Like odds makers are sort of telling me Philly's got a shot here.
