Three bets and one parlay to make in the Eagles-Cardinals game

The Philadelphia Eagles (11-4) look to take care of business against the Arizona Cardinals (3-12) at home on Sunday.

The Philadelphia Eagles (11-4) look to take care of business against the Arizona Cardinals (3-12) at home on Sunday. To make matters more interesting, former defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon is also the head coach of the Cardinals. The Eagles are looking to continue being on the right track for playoffs, but the Cardinals still have an opportunity to tarnish the Eagles’ high-seed chances.

The Eagles are (-750) and the Cardinals are (+525) on BetMGM. Check out more bets I have lined up for Sunday’s New Year’s Eve matchup.

AJ Brown Anytime Touchdown

I think the Eagles offense has another good day ahead of them. The offensive weapons should expect to eat today especially since the Cardinals’ defense is below average this season. AJ Brown usually feels like a safety net bet for anytime touchdown, so I’m rocking with him today.

First Quarter O 9.5 Points

I think the Eagles get off to a fast start today. The team is home on New Year’s Eve against their former defensive coordinator’s team, so there will be rowdiness inside the stadium. I think the Eagles strike first with a touchdown and again with a field goal just in the first quarter.

J. Hurts O 251.5 Passing Yards

Part of the offense having a good day comes down to Hurts being able to execute offensively. The team is also fighting tooth and nail to try to keep their first-seed hopes alive (as long as the 49ers drop one more and the Eagles win out. I think Hurts has another great day at home and hits his over on the passing yards prop.

Jenn’s Philly-Philly Parlay (+310, BetMGM)

Money line – Eagles

J. Hurts Anytime TD

J. Hurts 2+ Passing TDs

J. Hurts O 199.5 Passing Yards

Total Points O 48.5

PFF: Eagles’ Jordan Mailata earned highest grade of any offensive tackle since 2010

Jordan Mailata’s 96.9 PFF grade in the Philadelphia #Eagles win over Minnesota Vikings is the highest graded game by an offensive tackle since 2010

Jordan Mailata has gone from a 2018 seventh-round pick to a developmental prospect on the practice squad to one of the NFL’s top left tackles.

The 11th highest-paid left tackle in the NFL per Over The Cap, Mailata was all-world on Thursday night, logging the highest grade from PFF for an offensive tackle since 2010.

PFF has been tracking player grades since it was founded in 2006 by Neil Hornsby

Mailata logged 77 snaps at left tackle on Thursday night, allowing zero pressures, zero hits, and zero hurries against Minnesota.

On a night when the offensive line struggled, Lane Johnson was the next highest-graded player at 74.1.

James Bradberry in concussion protocol ahead of Eagles Week 2 matchup vs. Vikings

Philadelphia could be without James Bradberry for Week 2 matchup vs. Vikings after the #Eagles cornerback was placed in concussion protocol

The Eagles had their dynamic cornerback duo for almost every play last season, but that streak could be in jeopardy heading into a Thursday night matchup against the Vikings.

After exiting Sunday’s win over New England with a head injury, All-Pro cornerback James Bradberry has been placed in the concussion protocol.

To return to game action, Bradberry must undergo an exam by a team doctor or an unaffiliated neurotrauma consultant or athletic trainer to gain clearance.

If Bradberry doesn’t play, second-year cornerback Josh Jobe will get the start, with Kelee Ringo as another critical reserve.

Report: Rashaad Penny expected to be inactive for Eagles Week 1 matchup vs. Patriots

Philadelphia running back Rashaad Penny is expected to be “a healthy scratch” for #Eagles Week 1 matchup vs. Patriots

The Rashaad Penny era is getting off to a rocky start in Philadelphia.

Olivia Reiner of The Inquirer reports that the running back will be inactive for the season opener at the Patriots.

Reiner labeled it a “healthy scratch,” all indications suggest that the D’Andre Swift and Kenneth Gainwell duo will carry the load for the Eagles outside of an injury or unique matchup.

When healthy, Penny is one of the most productive running backs in the NFL, averaging 5.7 yards per carry for his career and 6 yards per carry over the past two years.

The team has 9+ picks in next April’s draft thanks to a second-round pick from the Saints and three compensatory picks.

With some big-named stars looking to show out in front of NFL scouts, we’re previewing some of the top prospects for the Eagles to watch during Week 1.

Tyre Phillips didn’t make our list of nine recently released players that the Eagles should be interested in, but he’s headig to the NovaCare Complex according to Jordan Schultz.

After getting cut from the Giants practice squad, Phillips is heading to Philadelphia.

The Giants released Phillips after signing him to the practice squad, replacing him with former Ravens offensive lineman Jaylon Thomas.

A valuable backup, Phillips is a valued backup who can play multiple positions, and logged five starts for New York in 2022.

Preseason Awards: Who sank, who swam and who stayed the same

One player who sank, one player who swam and a whole former team who stayed the same.

The Philadelphia Eagles officially finalized their 53-man roster seconds before the deadline on Tuesday, August 29. Now, it’s time to look at which official Eagles sank, swam or stayed the same during preseason.

Who Sank: Marcus Mariota

I want to believe that Marcus Mariota was just not used to a slower pace of a preseason game, but we know that’s not the case. In his three preseason games with the Eagles, he had 17-for-30 completions for 165 yards and one touchdown. For someone of Mariota’s experience I find that to be very alarming in preseason. I truly hope Jalen Hurts doesn’t get hurt this season because he deserves a fully healthy season, but if he were to go down, I think Tanner McKee has an opportunity. I know McKee has less experience, but from preseason he doesn’t look too nervous.

Who Swam: Sydney Brown

Brown is one guy I was rooting for to make the team and I’m so excited to see him thrive in the NFL. During his preseason, he had 13 tackles and one assist. After his first game, he interviewed with the media, and I loved the energy he was providing about wanting to be on the team. Now he is, and I’m excited to see what he can do.

Who Stayed the Same: The Georgia Guys

I think Nolan Smith and Jalen Carter were phenomenal during preseason and will have an impact this season. I just wish I saw more from them during this preseason and see how they will fit with this team. I also think people were speaking awfully high on both Carter and Smith, and I agree with what they’ve said, but also think we need to see them in the regular season before we form any opinions. That being said, I’m very excited to see what all Georgia guys can do for the Eagles as the team faces some harsh offenses this season.

Several Eagles players change jersey numbers after 53-man roster cuts

Training camp started with 90 players on the roster before getting trimmed down to 53 players over the past several days with a few shocking roster cuts.

With 37 players getting cut, three Eagles decided to change their jersey numbers ahead of the season opener at New England.

With the season opener fast approaching, here’s a look at the changes.
