Preview

The Eagles won their first game over one of the worst teams in 2015 when they beat the Browns turning a 6 point halftime lead into a 19 point win while the Bears turned a 4 point lead at halftime into a 9 point loss. Chicago managed just over 250 yards in total offense and QB Cutler was sacked 5 times and threw an interception. Meanwhile rookie QB Wentz had a great debut with 278 yards passing and 2 TD’s while the defense held the Browns to just over 300 total yards with 3 sacks and an interception. The oddsmakers have the Eagles a 3 point favorite with 62% of the public agreeing and 70%backing the over which is 43. The Eagles have a new QB in rookie Wentz after trading Bradford to the Vikings and if his play last week is a sign of things to come then Philadelphia might find itself at the top of their division at the end of the season.
