    Didn't he just come off the injured list completely? Total homer theory here, but I think they overplayed the injury for this reason. My concern is more not having Lane.
    Heard something on that silly radio station that Lane's injury isn't really what they were describing - i.e. not as bad as reported. Who knows.

    I dunno, anything to do with your groin/core muscles seems like a big deal. But he should totally play, though.

    Yeah Hurts was not on injury list yesterday. Full participant in practice. Lane was limited.

    One of my favorite parts of that article below. I distinctly have watched him do this a handful of times this year, and thought "holy shit, he's making a 2nd & 5 a 2nd & 4." 

    And I'm here for it. Would totally be pissed if I was the other team tho:

    Driving home from a funeral in Long Island today (FUCK NY City traffic from here to eternity---the fucking worst--I hate it) and listening to the Fan was pretty funny.

    A lot of talk about the momentum the Giants have.
    A TON of hype around Daniel Jones lol
    Not much said about how fraudulent the Vikings were
    The best part was a lot of time devoted to how the Eagles are their most hated team because the Eagles have pretty much owned the Giants for the last couple of decades.

    Overall I get the sense that they're just happy to be in this position but that they have a decent chance at an upset... which is a pretty reasonable take, I think. 


    People are catching on to my shtick that I can talk all the shit I want and if they end up losing, hey house money anyways…

    I do think they have a real shot though, and I don’t  get Vegas on this one, but Vegas isn’t ever really that wrong

    For the record, at this moment in time, I hate the eagles more than the Red Sox.
    Vegas line makes sense to me. 14-3 1 seed with a +133 point differential coming off a bye verses a -6 point differential 9 win wildcard team. 

    I bet the Cowboys line would've been around -3 or so. 
    Factoring in the bye for the Eagles, I expected 9.5-10. Only reason it's as low as 7.5 is Hurts having been hurt.
    This weekend we rock Portland

    You think it would've been higher than KC? I don't think so. The Chiefs are -8.5 and they've been favorites to win SB for a while now. If anything it could be a tick lower because Johnson won't be 100%. Hurts isn't even on the injury report.

    Kinda agree with Ponc - if the Eagles took care of business against the Saints without Hurts and they were 15-2 going into the playoffs (if Minshew wasn't completely awful; Hurts would've still played against the Giants, at least in the 1st half). Or at least higher than 7.5

    Well either way, I think we are in for a good game. Giants cover almost 80% of their games.

    That point differential thing with the Giants is glaring.
    Let's not forget how the first matchup this season played out. Clearly Hurts was rusty in the week 17 game. If he's on his game Saturday, this is a blowout.
    Also, to note its NYG's 3rd straight road game (though not huge travel) but that is historically a definite bet against situation in the NFL. (Applies to betting against the Cowboys this weekend also).

    Eagles 38 Giants 17.

    Just ran into the fam, JP. Your daughters quote about the game was “I like everyone EXCEPT the eagles!!!!” 

    Your sons was “boo boo buffalo” which while random seems much more Philly

    If there's anything she likes a lot it is finding ways to annoy her father.

    The boy has a current obsession with both the Chicago Bears and the Buffalo Bills. Both which he would like to see "fight" more often, like there should be literal bears and buffaloes on the field. He is also confused by the Bill part, which I completely understand. And, yes, he fully leans into The Boo.

    Yeah man. Mine is all in on the eagles, she’ll feel bad for me for a minute and say she wants both teams to win but then go right back to the eagles

    I'm sure they will save the Eagles/Chiefs game for a prime-time but the Patriots game definitely is a possibility.

    Does it though?

    If I am going to a sporting event in Europe, it is most definitely not an NFL game with a dud crowd.
