Las Vegas - Prime Time used to belong to Deion Sanders, but the way Philly is playing, Coach Prime might have to move over a peg or two. The Eagles have had three prime time outings this season, and have the 3-0 hat trick. They squashed Minny 24-7 as a -3 point favorite. Then beat the Cowboys 26-17 as a -6.5 point favorite. The only blemish on the prime time card is the 29-17 win at Houston last week. Yes it was a W, but the Birds were a double digit favorite, -14 points, and failed to cover. Tonight, the Igles are a double digit fav again, and it makes me a little nervous. They whipped the Commanders in Washington back in September 24-8 as a -5.5 point favorite. But that was with the statue at QB, otherwise known as Carson Wentz. This evening, Taylor Heinicke gets the start, and he is a wee bit more mobile than Wentz. Actually, the Galapagos Giant Tortoise is a little bit more mobile than Wentz. And he was sacked NINE times in the first game, NINE, in just ONE game. Heinicke has been sacked only six times in three games. Chatter is already starting about Philly matching or beating the 1972 Miami Dolphins. Lets wait a minute on that since the Eagles still have nine games left. The Packers, Titans, Cowboys and the Giants (twice) are all on the dance card. Leaving my dance card empty tonight. Enjoy!

A quick note about yesterday's LV Raiders picks. Not whining or crying, well, maybe a little, but when we found out that Matt Ryan was gonna start at QB instead of Sam Ehlinger, and that Jonathan Taylor was healthy and ready to go, we WASHED all our bets. Trust that you did as well.
