It's the 3rd annual anniversary of the infamous BUTT FUMBLE by Mark Sanchez and fate would have it that Sanchez is getting the start today for the Eagles. Most of the public is on the Lions who have won two straight. And while the Eagles have lost two straight the Hedgie thinks there's some nice value on the line today. Both team's offenses are struggling. The Lions average approx 18 points per game and have the leagues worst rushing offense. While the Eagles and Sanchez are coming off an embarrassing loss last week The Hedgie still sees the Eagles as the better team and expects max effort from the Eags who are still alive in the NFC East. Sanchez should perform bettering his 2nd straight start.
EAGLES +2.5 3 stars (closer to kickoff may get +3)
For Halloween Luke Kuechkly did his best Cam Newton impression. To many this line looks a bit 'Spooky'. The Cowboys are 3-7 and back home with Romo under center. With Romo they are 3-0 and many backers on getting on that bandwagon. However, Romo is not their entire team. The Pathers are having a magical season and are clearly the better team all around. Cam Newton has been mentioned as a potential MVP candidate as well. The Cowboys are a favorite surprise pick today but The Hedgie won't' fall into that trap. Today capturing a great line and two teams that like to win by running the ball the Hedgie will make a TURKEY TEASER:
Panthers +7.6 ond UNDER 52.5 2 stars
Tonights game between the Packers and Bears should be an UGLY one. There's 100% chance of rain and by the 3rd and 4th quarter with temps in the 30s the rain could turn to sleet. The opening total has dropped from 48 to 44.5 which is the right move and the Bears will be without Bennett and Eddie Royal. Packers Eddie Lacy is back and was productive last week. This game smells like a PACKERS/UNDER TEASER.
Pack -2.5 and UNDER 50.5 2 stars
