Game Notes

PHILADELPHIA

ATS: 6-2 L3 YEARS IN WEEKS 5 THROUGH 9
ATS: 4-1 in their last 5 games following a straight up win

Rookie QB who’s doing better than expected. Will continue to want to prove himself. Smothering defense. Did I mention the Lions are mediocre at best?

DETROIT

ATS: 9-19 L3 YEARS WHEN PLAYING WITH 6 OR LESS DAYS REST
ATS: 0-3 CURRENT YEAR WHEN PLAYING WITH 6 OR LESS DAYS REST
ATS: 1-4 L3 YEARS OFF A LOSS AGAINST A DIVISION RIVAL
ATS: 1-7 IN WEEKS 5 THROUGH 9

Grew up in the Detroit area. Lions are consistently bad. I really want them to do well. But, they don’t. Eagles this year are good. Bad matchup.

Hypothetical Line = PHILADELPHIA -3 to -16 (-9.5 average)
