Why are the Eagles -3?

[JDSilk]

Just wondering why they have all this love. So that would make them -9 in Philly? Know im gonna get a bunch of witty responses from eagle fans. but why do vegas power rankings have them so high? Yes NFC East is the toughest division, but it kinda scares me how they have all the teams so high.

Long story short, I think Bears should finally come through. They did blow a home game on SNF last year against Romo, but that was last year.

They're only -3 because the Bears are going to pummel them.

I hope the Bears win.....I am surprised about the -3 it was -3.5....Mcnabb will play they say.....he has a bruised chest, ribs or something.....Westbrook.....may not go at all.....ankle.....probably some BS there...he was limping.....I think he is probable....the way the defense played for Phila. vs Pittsburgh.....I would have thought it would be the other way around....I guess the +3 is for home field advantage........

[RanPicks]

they can't make Chi favored... perception is Philly is better. Gimme the 3. I'll take Chi

either that or Phillybirds broke someone's thumbs...

love Bears here...at home against a banged up Eagles squad

The Bears are not exactly an offensive scoring machine. 3 pointsw is about right. The total is 39 1/2. The Under may be the play, if Philly is as banged up as they claim to be. If they are healthier, they should easily cover the 3.

The Bears are a good bet to win this game

Nothing to do with that, but the Eagles are playing the best defense in the NFC, that's why they're at -3 here. You've got to hand it to Andy Reid, it didn't take him very long to rebuild the aging defensive powerhouse that was.

NFC East = 10-2

ONLY LOSSES WERE PHIL TO DAL,
WAS TO NYG
So they've beaten everone outside of own div so far...

something to consider...

Bears cover easy and win by 17

[ShakariX]

Bears are 28th in the league in pass yards given up. Eagles have 3 go to recievers

Eagles are #1 in the league against the run. Forte will get shut down

Kyle Orton just plain sucks

Devon Hester is questionable (why didnt this get mentioned?)

Westbrook is now listed as PROBABLE

Chicago's best receiver, Brandon Lloyd, is questionable with a hip injury

So with all that being said...I'm taking my E A G L E S -3

yes they probably would be -9 in philly...on that note.. would only play bears +3 in that one...but prob not going to touch it

[SHARPSHOOTER22]

Philadelphia has to be the squarest play of the day.
However.... its friekin scary to bet against them, especially an unpredictable team like my bears. I'll bet against the birds anyway, just because the public is so heavily on them.
As always
Stay Up
these guys....
