Tonight's Preseason Game May Be The Only Time For The Next Century To Believe In The Philadelphia Eagles

Look, the Eagles aren't going to be good this year. If they exceed their o/u, they're at 7 wins. That's with a new 17 game schedule, too. If everything goes PERFECT they might be looking at 8 or 9 victories. And there's nothing really wrong with that. This is a rebuild year and we've all come to accept that Howie Roseman sliced the franchise's dick clean off with a biblical mismanagement of a "Franchise" QB and some really pathetic, drafting like seriously man HOW THE FUCK IS THE PERSON WHO BURNED THE ENTIRE BUILDING DOWN ALLOWED TO REBUILD FROM THE GROUND UP FOR THE 4TH TIME IN LESS THAN 10 YEARS THIS GUY WAS GM DURING THE 2011 DRAFT AND THE DREAM TEAM FOR CHRIST SAKE THE DREAM TEAM and then some. 

But as for tonight, the Eagles at home are a -120 favorite on the Barstool Sportsbook App to beat the Big-Benless Pittsburgh Steelers. And you know what? I may not believe in Nick Sirianni (yet), but I do believe that Nick Sirianni is a competitor who wants to prove people wrong. FAST. And that means coming out gung ho in the first preseason game by showing he at least knows what the hell he's doing. The Steelers already played a game and, honestly, do you really think Tomlin wants to win this game as badly as Sirianni? I wouldn't be surprised if Nick played some starters into the 4th just to show them he means business.

So, yeah, the Birds at -1.5 at -108 or ML at -120 seem like pretty good spanks. But what do I know? I'm just a blockhead who knows nothing about sports, especially the ones from Philly. Not like we're a diehard Birds savant who is also currently the hottest gambler at the company - CC: CrackingAAces and today's reality via Ben Mintz:
