Eagles +3

Atlanta travels to Philadelphia as the first ever road favorite against a # seed. Atlanta is a small 3 point favorite at Philly here coming off an impressive road win against the LA Rams. Philly of course hasn't looked good since Wentz went down, but nonetheless are at home off a bye in this spot.

I thought from open this line should have been a pickem, and even at +3 Philly is getting no love. Everyone knows how different this
team has looked without Wentz, but the sportsbook's are practically saying Wentz is worth 10 points to the Eagles more than Foles. If Wentz is healthy Philly is -7 in this spot, so the 10 point swing is a bit much. It cannot be forgotten that the Eagles got an extra week to rest and prepare for this game, along with getting to hear all week how they as the #1 seed are a home underdog. I will happily take the 3 freebies. I expect Philly to come out fired up and ride the home crowd towards a win.

Pats -13.5

This is a fair line on this game, and many of that stats will point towards the pesky Titans hanging in, but I think this is one of those "silence the noise" type of games for the Pats. The Pats have been heavy in the media the last few weeks for all the wrong reasons, and these types of games the Pats are usually over prepared for. Everyone remembers the what have you done for me lately and sees the Titans 2nd half comeback as the Chiefs imploded last weekend. The Titans and Mariotta have been just awful on the road all season, and last week was simply an anomaly. The Pats have plenty of motivation to keep the pedal to the metal all night tonight. You got two coordinators for NE trying to seal themselves HC job's, so they'll have both the offense and defense heavily prepared here against the average Titans squad.
