Eagles at 8-5

to win the Super Bowl.

This is THEIR year. Tampa is not the same team on the road as at home. No weak secondary for Johnson to pass into this week. Physical teams have given TB trouble and this one could put a hurt on them. I like a possible matchup against Oakland also. Oakland relies too much on the pass and you can't do that against a defense like Philly. TB would matchup well with Oakland if they were to get by Philly, but I don't see that happening.

It seems like often teams make it to the conference championship and lose before their breakout year. Philly lost but covered last year in St Louis, and probably would've played a better game in the Super Bowl last year than St. Louis did. Now its time for the next step.

Might do better than 8-5 to let it ride.

-185 this weekend, so 50->77.

SB against OAK: 77 -> 160 (a little better than +100), so you could possibly turn your 50 into 160. [or 11-5]

SB against TENN: 77 -> 110, so you'd be getting about 6-5 I'd say.

If you're pretty sure about the raiders winning vs. Tenn, I'd just go with the ML and let it ride on the SB.

I don't like taking moneylines worse than -150 or -160. Its just been drilled into my head as a horsebettor, that you are taking the worst of it when you do that. If I was to parlay, I'd rather take the Eagles and lay the pts, and then parlay them on the moneyline as a small dog if they play Oakland.
