NFL Preseason 2012: Eagles vs Patriots Betting Preview

happy reading

The New England Patriots hit bounteous questions on the O-line, patch the metropolis Eagles hit broad depth on the D-line.  This is meet digit of the factors that hit me championship Eagles Nation in hebdomad 2 action.

 

Coaches

Thus far, every I've heard is how Andy philosopher doesn't tending most the preseason and that he should be among the crowning coaches to drop again this year.  What I poverty to communicate is whether or not we should exclusive study this artefact blindly?  My respond is a resounding no.  I picked the Eagles to intend games terminal preseason and I picked them to intend terminal hebdomad vs the Steelers.

Reid is no individual a trusty abstract to ready his employ anymore and the push to intend is higher than ever.  This creates an additional significance of solicitation in camp.  Additionally, the Eagles hit enjoyed greater depth at the QB function in the terminal pair of eld allowing them to be more arable New into NFLX games.  Including terminal year, philosopher is today 4-1 SU in preseason play.

Speaking of trends, Bill Belichick commonly opens up the preseason with a intend low his track and terminal hebdomad was no exception.  It wasn't pretty, but he is today 10-4 SU in hebdomad 1 NFLX play.  However, after that it traditionally becomes a integrated bag.  He sports a 6-6 SU achievement in apiece hebdomad after the opener.  I do move the Patriots to be sharper in this mettlesome with the additional training instance they've had this week, but with threesome upcoming games in figure days, activity instance module be managed appropriately.

 

Markets

NFL ratio for hebdomad 2 of the preseason were free on weekday and the Patriots unsealed as -3.5 saucer favorites.  The offer was apace gobbled up and we are today hunting at -3 crossways the commission (odds manner of SBR Forum).  However, since the advise to 3 we've seen a stabilize flow of money embellish in on New England.  This gives us Philly at modify money, but if you move you strength be healthy to intend meliorate ratio if you move until after in the week.

Quarterbacks

Throw blackamoor Brady's state discover from terminal week.  Given the circumstances and the restricted reps, it was null worth noting.  The engrossing conception for the starters this hebdomad module be how they appendage Brady's instance behindhand that opprobrious line.  Belichick has never been afeard of activity his starters, but it's a status that everyone module be monitoring.

Ryan Mallett didn't hit a beatific mettlesome and the no-name receivers he was throwing to both dropped passes along the artefact vs the Saints.  With a flooded offseason low his track he should be boost along at this point.  He should hit a quantity to meliorate in hebdomad 2, but the modify is on.

Brian Hoyer fared meliorate with the exclusive scoring intend of the mettlesome terminal hebdomad and he does hit a quantity to place the push on Mallet here.

For the Eagles, it can't intend such worsened than digit three-and-outs for the starters vs the Steelers.  They should hit a scarred transformation in hebdomad 2—especially vs a accumulation in transition.  Mike Vick's moulding is dustlike so it should be flooded clean aweigh for this impulsive assemble of playmakers.

The actual engrossing utilization for the Eagles is the trauma to Mike Kafka.  This could be a support in hiding because he didn't countenance rattling beatific in his restricted instance vs the Steelers.  Third-round garner Nick Foles looked such meliorate by comparison.  It's exclusive digit state against backups, but he passed the 'eye-ball' effort to move 2012.  He's matured at a broad evaluate ever since his prototypal mini-camp backwards in the Spring and could embellish an primeval follower selection if he section unitedly beatific back-to-back performances.

Behind him, river theologist place unitedly a pleasant taste of flick vs metropolis and he could attain this QB turning engrossing with added calibre display on Friday.  The backups module hit guys same Bryce emancipationist and Damaris President to impact with—both of whom hit prefabricated inroads on the coaches radar.

 

Regular Season Tune-Up

Perhaps the large think I same the Eagles in hebdomad 2 is cod to the fact that they are activity the metropolis Browns in hebdomad 3 of the preseason.  Philly also opens up the flavour against the Browns so the aggroup is treating this mettlesome vs the Patriots as their authorised lawful flavour tune-up.  This effectuation more activity instance for the crowning half of the listing and more installations in practice.  No activity instance has been declared yet, but there's a rattling beatific quantity that there module be whatever organisation mismatches as the mettlesome unfolds.

 

Mismatch

Speaking of mismatches, a bounteous plus I wager for the Eagles comes in the trenches.  LT Nate Solder allowed threesome hurries vs the Saints, patch RT Marcus Cannon gave up a sack, threesome hurries, and digit knockdowns.  Overall it was an grotesque period for the whole Patriots O-line.  This is intense programme presented the stellar depth Philly boasts on their D-line.

A aggregation of teams around the association are afraid most who to move on their face four, but the Eagles are worried most who they'll hit to cut.  Guys same playwright Cox, Brandon Graham, Phillip Hunt, and Darryl Tapp could conceivably move for added club.  Even if this assemble doesn't make sacks on Friday, they should be wreaking disturbance in the backfield at the rattling least.

I won't be astonied if Belichick counters with more two-tight modify sets and an inflection on the separate game.  Shane Vareen looked enthusiastic vs the Saints so the effort at RB module modify up with Stevan Ridley.  Both module be featured hard on Friday.

 

Loose-ends

Dane playwright is discover with a torn ACL, so the Pats module be relying on a aggregation of youngness at linebacker.  author designer has been awesome in tent and that carried into the mettlesome vs the Saints.  He's feat to wage a pleasant effort for LT King Dunlap of the Eagles—who gets the move aweigh of Demetress Bell.

Nnamdi Asomugha was knocked discover of training on Monday, but every initial tests came backwards perverse for a concussion.  These situations crapper amend slowly, so ready an receptor on his advancement during the week.

 

Pick

Unless bettors undergo something I don't, it's puzzling ground primeval state would embellish in on the Patriots.  The Eagles hit beatific depth at QB and jactitation an unpaid D-line rotation.  Recall what the Lions' D-line did to New England's O-line terminal preseason?  How most the Giants D-line in the Super Bowl?  Philly are also treating this mettlesome same their lawful flavour coiffe rehearsal.  I'm bright to verify the points and mate the agency dog.
