EAGLES (-15) over Buccaneers
That's an awfully big number, but Tampa is an awfully lousy team. How awful? How about the worst defense in the NFC, giving up over 393 yards per game. The Bucs have already lost at home twice to the NFC East (Dallas 34-21, Giants 24-0). So far, it's the NFC East 58, Tampa 21. The Bucs have only covered two of the last nine, and will start Josh Johnson. He made his first ever start last week, and passed for just 106 yards. Since the Eagles have the No. 2 pass defense, it ain't gonna be pretty for this newbie. Throw in the return of Donovan McNabb and Brian Westbrook and Tampa's in trouble. Then there's this little gem: The Birds are - drumroll please! 11-0 under Andy Reid after the bye week straight up, and 9-2 against the spread. And how about 10-0 to the under. Not quite a best bet, but not too far away.
