Sport: NFLPick Selection: #404 PHILADELPHIA (-)
#404 PHILADELPHIA (-) over Carolina by 17 at 8 PM EST
This game sets up perfectly. Carolina checks into Lincoln Financial Field off its overtime home win over Indianapolis while Philadelphia returns off its tough road loss at Pittsburgh. Those two events provide a great technical set. Take a look.
Dating back to the 1988 season, game two road dogs priced at +3 or more are a dismal 9-21-1 ATS provided they arrive off a straight up home win and their opponent is off a straight up loss. Even worse, if our guest was priced as a favorite of -1' or more last, this situation crashes to an ugly 3-17-1 ATS! Carolina is locked into this wallet-breaking set!
Eagles QB Donovan McNabb looked great last week against the Steelers. McNabb connected on 10-of-13 passes for 97 yards and the first team offense generated 10 points on two drives. Don't be surprised if the Green Birds look even better this week. In their last four home openers, Philly has won and covered four straight by margins of 26-17, 27-17, 20-7 and 27-10.
Since 1983, game two teams coming off a SU and ATS loss in game one has responded in their next outing cashing 89 of 174 provided their opponent checks in off a straight up win. The Eagles have nailed nine of their last 14 at home coming off a straight up loss and they'll put on a good show for the hometown fans. Take Philadelphia minus the points. Thank you and best of luck, Tom Stryker.
