00:00Sorry, so the Battle of Pennsylvania and call me crazy, but this was the point spread that
00:07I looked at this week and didn't quite understand it because the Steelers have been fantastic
00:11and Tomlin as a dog has been awesome.
00:14But here we are.
00:15What are the oddsmakers telling us here, Matt?
00:17Because the Eagles are five and a half point favorites this week, total of just 42 and
00:22a half.
00:23So something's is is clearly off here with a low total and the Steelers getting five
00:28and a half points.
00:29It feels like everyone's pushing me to take Pittsburgh in this one.
00:33It feels like the right side.
00:34Do you think that it is?
00:36Yeah, that's what I feel, too.
00:38It's almost suspicious in a way, kind of what you're you're implying there.
00:41I, you know, the George Pickens stuff, I think, is a big element of Pittsburgh's offense
00:46that probably won't be there.
00:48And even though Russell Wilson has shown a knack for obviously winning as Pittsburgh's
00:53quarterback, but certainly keeping things close, playing well, leading that offense.
00:57And we've seen some problems with Philadelphia's offense lately, at least on the passing side.
01:03But they do have Saquab Barkley.
01:05We know that's going to get cooking.
01:06And how many times do we see a team where the the top wide receiver is is talking in
01:12the press and there's all this strife and then he comes out the next week and just gets
01:16peppered with passes and catches, you know, 12 balls for 140 yards.
01:21So I do think A.J. Brown and Jalen Hurts are going to be a little bit more, you know, in
01:26sync.
01:27Yeah.
01:28Five and a half is a lot of points, even if there's no George Pickens.
01:30We know that the Steelers are going to play tough defense.
01:33We know they're not just going to go away.
01:35They seem to find a way every week where they're there right, right toward the end.
01:40So yeah.
01:41So I do think five and a half is too many.
01:42I'm not bullish on the amount of points I could see this one sort of being a slugfest.
01:47But obviously Saquab Barkley, the way he's been playing all year, sort of adds that element
01:51of danger if you take the under on any game involving the Eagles.
01:56So no, but overall, though, I think it's going to be a close game.
01:58I think it's going to be tighter than the spread.
