You believe Kevin Kolb is worth two wins by his lonesome if you think the Cards over 6.5 is a good bet.

Apparently, there's been a ton of action on the Lions. I read their Super Bowl odds are down to like 17-1 in some places.

I heard an intersting stat that every year for the last 17 ( I think) there have been at least 5 teams in the playoffs that weren't the year before. Which also means there will be 5 teams that were in LY that won't make it this year. I think there will be more turnover in the NFC than in the AFC for sure.

Philly under. I'd be interested in under 8.5 line even.

Philly could be the biggest dissapointment IMO in the league. Too much hype

I think anything less than at least an appearance in the conference championship is going to disappoint Iggles fans this year. I still think their front seven is a bit thin on paper.

Under looks good on Redskins, Seahawks and Dolphins. Breaks my heart to say under for Skins but they simply don't have the talent.

Linebackers are young and inexperienced, so its a gamble. The D-line has had extreme upgrades and will be solid.. especially with Washburn running the D-line.

the hype is all media driven. Its not like they are the Heat declaring themselves champions for the next 5 years. Unless you are focusing on a tweet from the twit Vince Young, someone who at this point is our 3rd string QB.

the hype was built by ESPN. you certainly can't fault the Eagles for picking up some extremely good free agents/trades.

Agree 100%. Eagles are trying to down play the hype. They definitely improved on paper, but that means nothing. You never want to be the team everybody is talking about in Preseason they never seem to meet expectations.

Looks like Coach and I were right about those Eagles. I didn't anticipate them being this bad though...

As long as the Pack is there nothing else matters. 11.5 is a real tough number to take the over on.

I think the Cards will win 7 games in the division they are in. I personally think they will win the division.

Kolb is an enormous upgrade to what they had last year. It will come down to their O-line and D-line. But that division is horrible, so they have the opportunity to win games.

I really dislike the eagles but based on their schedule there are only 6 teams that they could lose to: Atlanta, Giants (2) Dallas (2), NE, Jets and Chicago. 5 Losses look about right.
