Early lean on Tampa Bay 9-2-1 the best against the spread facing the worst team against the spread 2-9-1. Foles is starting for the rest of the year for Philadelphia. Could be the best pick this week.

     Reason: database  Comment:  Can't remember the last time the Eagles won a game. However, I'm sure they do!  Everybody looking out for their job, including HC Reid. Hey -At least they covered the spread last out with a desparation KO return!  Vick era & experiment is over!  Can't help feeling as long as they're trying, they'll at least cover a few spreads along the way.

PHILADELPHIA  + 7

Over 47.5

Tampa..

BUCK!BUCK! BUCKEM! DOWN

What? Vue we agree! Philly +7..........sweet! This may be the best post you've had this year.

EAGELS +7.5  2xLARGE

Love Tampa in this spot. Returning home after a tough loss in Denver. They're in the playoff hunt and Schiano has them playing well. Last Monday nights game in Dallas was the Eagle superbowl. They were lucky to cover that game with a late TD on specials. I expect the same lackluster performance from the birds this Sunday against a hungry Bucs team. 31-10 Bucs.

Is this the BCS Bowl game? I'll take the team with the points

I can't see how anyone would bet the worst covering team over the best covering team. Especially on the road. That's a lot of faith in a team who have been nothing short of a train wreck all season. Plus, Tampa is fighting for a playoff spot, and with Philly coming into town, they smell blood.

everyone keeps thinking "philly has to win a game SOMETIME..."

Philly money line looks awfully tempting.

Damn Ace, Bucs comin back from mile high, doug martin running over mostly all defenses, Eagles playing with rookie QB on the road.... take the points at least 

Hate to say it, but I could just picture the eagles playing spoiler for some reason. These young guys they have playing don't care about the standings. They're playing to prove they are NFL-ready. It almost reminds me of a college football game. Yeah, we all know the Bucs are still technically in the playoff hunt, but it looks like Seattle has a wild card spot on lockdown. The other spot will go to Chicago or Green Bay in all likelihood. Wouldn't be fitting for this good for nothing Eagles team to ruin someone's 

(Cont) Playoff hopes. I could see them turning the corner and surprising everyone with the spoiler role. 

Is Nick Foles the future? I don't know, but he looked pretty good last week against Dallas at home. Line is at 9 points now? I'll take a chance on that..............

Philly +9

Absolutely agree with Sammy. Philly +9 is a gift, and the Philly ml offers excellent value. This is the nfl fellas, and Schiano is now swimming in the deep water. Trust me, this guy would always get out coached at rutgers, and got the job with a rah rah interview with glazers kid. Already rumors that hes losing the locker room, despite the early success. Given equal talent, Andy Reid would out coach Schiano 9 times out of 10.   Given tampas edge in talent, this game is a toss up based on the coaching disparity. 

I agree with those who think the Eagles will win. Whoever said to put the house on the buccs was a "smart" move is absolutely insane. The buccs are inconsistent, and out of the blue they will go back to being "the buccs" and you will be screwed. The Eagles are much more proven than the buccs if you ask me. Some bad luck again this year, and the buccs made an improvement, but the smart bet here is Philly Money Line, and you don't need to risk your house either. The buccs fucked me out of 10k last year in the Pick the Pros handicapping contest...I knew I should of just picked Carolina! lol

I gotta take my sorry team this week. I agree with everyone who thinks philly will play there hearts out, also spoiler role. Taken the points here. As of right now, philly still mathematically has a chance to win the division, Im not saying they will by a long shot, so please everyone, Do not hold me for saying they will win the division....Philly + 9 All day.

Foles is a hoss and Tampa ranked near bottom against the pass. If brown doesn't fumble their running game thrives. I don't see a div champ here but I think they give tb headaches

Philly for the large

Over...

PHI +9 (1.5u) - SCORE: Eagles 21 - Buccaneers 27

simon_says:

PHILADELPHIA +9
UNDER 47.5

Tampa too good this year & Philly just stinks!!! Schiano has TB playing hard and their buying into him. 9 points is a lot but I cant play Philly. TB needs win to stay alive. Reed is done in Philly!!!

Sorry Sammy ususally on the same side but must disagree here.

BUCS-9
