Running late for work, will make this fast.
In the last 6 years of this round of the playoffs, their have been only 4 favorites of less than 4 points. This line reflects how evenly matched these teams are, and indicates the Eagles have a real shot at winning the game.
The Bears will have to establish A-Train on the ground, as I don't think their receivers will be able to get open against a very good Eagles secondary.
This will probably be a very close, low scoring game. Chicago is a tough place to win on the road, but the Eagles have a defense that can do it.
Look for Donavon Mcnabb to keep making plays scrambling and lead the Eagles to a road win in Chicago
+ 3
Oakland got it done vs the Jets, behind a brilliant performance by Gannon (23-of-29), & 215 RYs (6.9ypr). But the stats were even, before Garners 80-yd run sealed it.
The Raiders are here, but are only 7 pts from a 0-7 spread slide.
Not the case with the Pats, who have taken off since Brady replaced Bledsoe. They are on a 7-0 home spread run & are on an overall 10-2 streak, both SU & ATS, with those 2 line losses by only 4 & .1/2 pt.
The Raiders haven't won a playoff RG since 1980 & their iffy "D" helps to extend that record.
