Randy’s Pick
The Eagles have to be the more balanced team, given that their defense is far more respectable than the Dolphins. The Eagles will also be more locked in after a surprising loss to the Jets last week. The Dolphins defense has a ways to go, and they’ve spent their first 5 wins beating up on losing teams. This is a prove it game for the Dolphins, especially when them not showing up in their last road prime time game against the Bills. With all that said, the Dolphins’ offense is ridiculous, and it’s hard to leave free points with them on the table. These are two Super Bowl contenders, and you’re not going to get either in the underdog role much the rest of the way. I’m taking advantage of it while I can. Give me the Dolphins and the free points.
