\nThe Eagles have almost everything on their side in this matchup \u2013 home field advantage, superior depth and the potential emotional boost of sending Michael Vick onto the field (though he could easily get jeered instead of cheered).
\nOffensively, the Eagles have plenty of weapons even if they sit their starters. LeSean McCoy has been one of the most dynamic rookies of the preseason, Jeremy Maclin will be eager to conquer his fumbling woes and A.J. Feeley has been a poised, comfy backup behind center.<\/p>\n

Their run defense has also been atrocious. It\u2019s pretty obvious whom to choose in your NFL picks<\/a>, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n Pick: Eagles -7<\/p>\n St. Louis Rams @ Cincinnati Bengals (-2.5)<\/strong><\/p>\n Thursday, August 27, 7:30 p.m. ET Under Steve Spagnuolo, the Rams are working hard to improve defensively. Many of their future cogs are rookies, so high draft picks like Adam Carriker and James Laurinatis are eager to showcase their talents. They should pressure whichever shaky backup gets the reins for the Bengals. Betting services<\/a> recommend the Rams, believe it or not.

\nThere\u2019s reason for optimism in Cincy this season. Carson Palmer should be healthy in Week 1 and his primary receiving options, Chad Johnson, Laveranues Coles and Chris Henry, have looked dangerous. However, Cincy may be in trouble at home this week. Palmer will likely sit as a precaution thanks to his high ankle sprain, so the Bengals\u2019 offense could stall.<\/p>\n
\nPick: Rams +2.5<\/p>\n
\nWeren\u2019t opposing defenses supposed to \u201csee the wildcat coming\u201d this year? The Panthers didn\u2019t get the memo last week, as the wildcat helped Miami look dangerous on the ground and through the air. While the Dolphins don\u2019t have amazing depth, the Bucs are a mess right now. They have no Antonio Bryant and all their potential starting quarterbacks are on the block (excluding rookie Josh Freeman, of course.<\/p>\nBefore Betting On Football – Compare the NFL lines on this week\u2019s games and all of the action today!!<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
