INDIANAPOLIS VS. PHILADELPHIA
The Eagles lost to the Pats last week at home and now take their show on the road to face the Colts. The Eagles dominated headlines this week after the controversial signing of Michael Vick. McNabb and Company are expected to play the entire first half and Coach Reid is looking for this unit to show major improvement over last week. Meanwhile, the Colts lost to the Vikings last week in a game where Peyton Manning only took 6 snaps BUT was sacked 3 times!! Coach Caldwell already announced that Manning and starters will see a maximum of 20 plays this week before giving way to the backups. This gives a huge edge to the Eagles and I love backing teams whose starters will see backups for any length of time – and this is the situation we have tonight. The Vikings defense presented the Colts will all kinds of matchup problems and the Eagles will do the same. The Colts have failed miserably in preseason going 3-16 SU and 5-14 ATS in their L19 including a horrible 1-8 SU and ATS in their L9 at home and just 3-8 ATS as a dog.
