4 Unit Play. Take #302 Philadelphia +3 over Atlanta (4:35p.m., Saturday January 13 NBC) We all know that the Eagles have been playing without QB Wentz and the last two games with QB Foles behind center the Eagles offense has been M.I.A. With the struggles of the Eagles offense the oddsmakers have made Atlanta the road favorite at Lincoln Financial Field but hold on I see the home team Eagles playing much better Saturday night. The Eagles had an extra week to prepare for this game and I see the running game of Philadelphia being the key to a Sunday win and the running game will take some pressure off Nick Foles. This game will be close for all 4 quarters and in the second half I see the Eagles defense making some key stops and I see the Eagles winning this game by a late field goal. The Falcons won a playoff road game last week but doing in back-to-back playoff weeks will be difficult and also throw in that the Falcons are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 playoff road games. The Eagles are 5-2 ATS in their last 7 home games and the Eagles are 4-1 ATS following a SU loss.

FINN SAT DIVISIONAL RD PRIVATE PLAY Game: (301) Atlanta Falcons at (302) Philadelphia Eagles Date/Time: Jan 13 2018 4:35 PM EST Betting Line Provider: Heritage Play Rating: 4% Play: Philadelphia Eagles 3.0 (-108)
PLAY: Philadelphia Eagles +3 (good to +1)
4% rating (301) Atlanta Falcons at (302) Philadelphia Eagles Matt Ryan, running back tandem of Freeman and Coleman, along with big physical receivers Jones and Sanu will be a handful for the Eagles defense on Saturday. The banged up O-line of the Falcons is a patchwork unit but they will find enough success to assist in pushing the low total in this event to the north side of the oddsmakers number (41). Expect a solid performance from Coach Peterson and his staff, meaning that quarterback Nick Foles and the balanced Eagles attack outplaying with the help of a Philadelphia coaching staff that will have had two weeks to prepare for the overrated Falcons defense. Expecting a four-touchdown performance from Foles, e.g. as he did versus the New York Giants in Week 15, is a bit of wishful thinking for those backing the Eagles and the OVER in this contest but it is closer to how I expect Foles to perform as opposed to his one touchdown and two interceptions statline in Week 16 and 17. Ertz is one of several key matchup advantages for the Eagles. And in combination with the big running backs that will have big games in the cold temps against the Falcons front seven expect to see wide out Nelson Agholor and team leader Alshon Jeffery each approach 10 catches on the afternoon. Expect that Peterson and Foles to key off of Atlanta LB Deion Jones. If Jones isn't keying on the receiving ability of the Eagles running back Ajayi then Ertz becomes the target the short passing game for Foles. If the Falcons use linebackers in their man-to-man scheme against Ertz then Smallwood and Ajayi become keys in the Peterson West Coast scheme. The coaching staff for Philadelphia have verbalized that DE Brandon Graham, who leads the team in sacks, practiced this week and will be ready to play on Saturday. This NFC Divisional playoff matchup in the City of Brotherly Love will come down to which offense is more effective running the football and in the short passing attack and which defensive front can stop the run. All three variables are controlled by the Eagles head coach Peterson, QB Foles and the offensive skilled players on the Falcons sideline. Peterson and his staff understand that defeating the Falcons will happen being balanced and with a short passing attack. With the wind expected to be a factor in 20-plus yard throws don't expect to see the Eagles attempting to stretch the field on Saturday afternoon. However what can be expected is that the size and the speed combination of the Eagles in the short passing game to undermine the plans of the Atlanta Falcons to advance to the conference championship.
