We have another electric division Thursday night football game to preview here.
We got commanders at Eagles 48.5 over under Eagles are 3.5 point favorites according to bet MGM for the commander side.
I actually like more passing attempt overs for Jane Daniels.
So it’s at 30 a half right now.
So I’m saying that, you know, he hit, yeah, it’s a little beefier than I was expecting.
I thought I was gonna be more on that 28.5 27.5 number.
But I think that this going against a Fangio defense runs a lot of zone.
I don’t think there’s gonna be a ton of those outside hitters that, that this offense is able to get, um, because of the too high structure.
I don’t know if Jayden Daniels is gonna get the scrambling opportunities either when you face the zone heavy team too.
They’re gonna have eyeballs in the quarterback, they’re gonna have eyeballs back there.
They’re pretty disciplined about the QB run game as well.
Um, as far as their edge players, those guys don’t get too out of whack with the stuff.
So uh, maybe you’re looking at some under for rushing yards for him as well.
Uh, for Jane Daniels.
Yeah, I was gonna say, what do we think about, uh, Jaden Daniels?
Yeah.
45.5 under.
I don’t know.
I, I could see that.
Let’s flip it to the eagle side though.
From a, from a prop standpoint.
I look at Squan Barkley’s numbers to start every, every time.
But, uh, man, but his 93.5 from that Derek Henry last week me off those high numbers and everything.
Uh, so that, that’s why I’m a little, a little hesitant on this.
I’m going Devante Smith over receiving yards.
He’s at 52.5 right now and I might trickle on that over a little bit, you know, run game wise.
It would be like, it’s more rush attempts for Barkley than, than yards, you know, but the rush attempts are still at 18.5.
You know, that’s just a little too high for me to like, truly, truly like.
