Philadelphia
There is no good news coming out of Philadelphia lately. They continue to lose and shuffle the staff in the hopes of showing any signs of life. In case you didn’t notice, now they are cutting players too as defensive end Jason Babin was shown the door before last weekend.
The odds of ending their current losing streak on the road aren’t good this week…At least their quarterback controversy is over. Rookie Nick Foles has been given the job but hasn’t done much with it yet. It doesn’t help that the Eagles best weapons are sidelined though – receiver DeSean Jackson and running back LeSean McCoy.
Creating enough offense to give them a chance has become a real problem and it is not looking to get any better…The Eagles have been an ATS nightmare too this year going 2-9-1.

The only good thing you can point to is that those two wins were on the road including an ATS win last week at Dallas where they actually showed some life
Tampa Bay
Tampa on the other hand has been an ATS darling this season with a 9-2-1 record. The majority of those wins have been as the underdog which is not the case this weekend. [soliloquy id=”82219″]
This is the largest number they have received as a favourite and it is a little too big given what we have seen of the Bucs. The oddsmakers are kind of daring you to take Philly right now…
Last week the game at Denver was not as close as it looked even though Tampa covered. QB Josh Freeman struggled and the running game never really got going against the Broncos. Getting down early did not help as this team is built to play from ahead.
Lucky for them this weekend is that the Eagles are going to have a hard time challenging their league worst pass defense…
At anything under a TD the Bucs would have been a nice value play this weekend but needing two scores to win is a bit much.
They should win the game to continue their playoff hunt but a decisive victory is not something I think you can predict with this squad at their stage of development.
Spread Pick: Push
O/U Pick: Under
Score Prediction: Tampa 22 – Philadelphia 13
