Why wait? It's going to be about 20 degrees, wind chill will make it feel colder especially inside the Linc where the winds whip around due to its open nature. Some light snow in the area.

It's still early. The game is 5 days away. Weather predictions change. I might not like the over in 2 inches of snow. And the line might drop some more, opened at 42.

I don't go on predictions. If you'd like to know more, PM me.

Sorry Waterproof - but you're reaching for something to analyze that isn't there...

Which teams did the Falcons play that are in the same class as the Eagles?

You're insulting Philly by comparing San Diego or Denver (or the Rams?) to them - I just don't see the quality teams they played that you're referring to... mediocre maybe...

Don't get me wrong, the Falcons might be the play - but not because of their stellar performance against mediocre opponents.

The Atlanta defense is very solid, thus the line is "only" 4 1/2.

Waterproof, which win on this list impresses you?

I haven't found one yet. Maybe last week's game. Maybe.

I think the Eagles are going to romp (the definition of "romp" will depend on the weather but I think they cover the 4 1/2 easy)

Waterproof, please turn on your PM's so I can write you back, thanks.

Hey, no secrets

None. But the wins over the Charges, Denver and the Rams are much more impressive than a win over Green Bay, who lost to every decent team they played this year, and the Ravens.

Minnesota, who I still believe is better than Green Bay, would have lost to the any of the three teams mentioned above.

Now I'm not saying that I'm playing the Falcons (although I'm starting to talk myself into it). Just it's not an easy game to handicap, and I can't see any reason to lay points on Philly... I could be wrong...

Sorry about that... on now [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
