I don't think Philly is as good as many analysts want us to believe. I would love to see LA knock them off.

Detroit will get by Washington without too much trouble.

The Eagles are definitely legit. One of the best defenses in the league, top running team, and a bunch of playmakers on offense.

The way I see it - seems like the consensus was that the Eagles didn't play as well as they could have against the Packers... and they still won by 2 scores. If they get it clicking, they'll be very hard to stop.

i wouldn't want to play LA rn, i remember at the mid way point of the season they were contemplating whether to start unloading stars and they went on a win streak .....they have a tough D...i knew Verse was tough but didn't realize Fiske has 8.5 sacks not bad

I would be pissed if I was a Vikings fan. They've just conceded this game and aren't even pretending to hurry up and try to come back

I'm not even sure the Vikings completed a pass to Justin Jefferson in the 2nd half...inexcusable. but most importantly it killed my parlay

Darnold was going to turn into a pumpkin at some point in the postseason.

Yeah, maybe they got their stinker out of the way. We;ll see.

At one point the Packers had three turnovers to Philly's zero and it was 10-0.

I don’t think PHI looks that good. They looked very underwhelming against GB and I don’t think Hurts has that dog in him.

The Eagles are not legit, Jalen Hurts is their QB AJ Brown is banged up and they'll go as far as Barkley will take them.

Game of the week Eagles vs Rams.

The Packers have a great defense though. They're 6th in the league in points allowed and yards allowed. But that was pretty much my point. They didn't look like the best version of themselves (primarily on offense), but still won by double digits. To me, that's a sign of a great team.

And I know that what happens in the regular season doesn't always translate to what happens in the playoffs... but when the Eagles and Rams faced off earlier this season, the Eagles ran for over 300 yards and beat LA by 17 in LA.

With this being in Philly, I hard a very hard time seeing the Rams pulling one off. Personally, I have them in the SB.

I didn’t even know the game was on tonight. Oh boy Vikings. Great game!!! Yeah the Vikings are not relying on Darnold next year nor will they trade McCarthy.
