If something appears to be too good to be true …
Go with it anyway. It’s more fun.
Philadelphia isn’t very good at professional football this season.
It beat the Giants, but who hasn’t? It beat Dallas, but that’s what you do.
It had a few nice moments – taking down a wounded San Francisco wasn’t without its charm – and it’s probably going to be a playoff team in a miserable division, but it turns the ball over way too often, it doesn’t take the ball away, it doesn’t go on a whole slew of scoring marches, and it’s bad at stopping good running teams.
Cleveland is great t taking the ball away, it’s one of the best running teams in the NFL, it’s excellent at going on long scoring drives, and it’s coming off a 231-yard day on the ground in a bad weather win over Houston.
And it’s only giving away 2.5 at home.
Of course, this is when the NFL goes NFL and rises up and bites you, but if it looks too good and too obvious …
