The Eagles are also 1-7-1 ATS in their last nine games versus the NFC and 1-6 ATS in their last seven games overall. The Eagles have long given up on their season and Andy Reid is a dead man walking as he’s likely to be fired after the season.

Look for Josh Freeman, Doug Martin and Vincent Jackson to have a great day against a brutal Philadelphia defense.
