This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the Philadelphia Eagles.

We don't believe the New York Jets are as good as their 2-0 SU/ATS would indicate. We also don't think that the Eagles are as horrible as their 0-2 SU/ATS record is leading us to believe. With a game at division rival Miami next week, there is no question in our minds that this one sets up as a classic "look ahead/letdown" spot for the over-achieving Jets. Conversely, this is obviously a do-or-die game for the Eagles, only a tiny percentage of teams throughout NFL history have ever even made the playoffs after opening the season 0-3. And with another road contest at division rival Washington next Sunday, this week's contest becomes even more important for the visiting side. Now throw in the fact that the Eagles are 3-0 ATS their last three as a road dog of three points or less, 5-3 ATS their last eight non-conference games and 3-2 ATS after two or more consecutive losses, while the Jets are 1-3 ATS their last four after playing on Monday Night Football, then you understand why we designated this selection with top rated 10* status; all signs do indeed point to PHILADELPHIA as the savvy move in this contest.
