It wasn’t a great Monday night for us here at Tough Money Sports. The Eagles got it done, covering -5 effortlessly, but the Rams and Bengals played a defense-heavy game that cost us the over.
That brings our record this NFL season to 2-3, -0.8u. Nothing we can’t come back from!
The Eagles reminded us why they’re a top 2 team in the NFL. It seems for the second season in a row they don’t quite fire on all cylinders early, but are still playing well enough to win games. They do, of course, for the second straight year, have an easier schedule to start. However, that’s no knock on them. You can’t help but play who’s on your schedule and Philly is taking advantage. Look at the Cowboys; they’ve had a cupcake schedule to this point and already have a loss.
The Rams, on the other hand, have looked awful since their Super Bowl win just two seasons ago. Neither team could move the ball in the Rams-Bengals game last night, but Los Angeles going 0-10 on third down eventually gave Cincinnati some momentum. Matthew Stafford spent the entire night on the ground and looked scared in the pocket. The Bengals defense held Puka Nacua in check, and Aaron Donald can only hold down the fort for so long on defense. The Rams have the worst record in NFL history in 20 games after a Super Bowl win. Last year’s excuse was a Stafford injury. What is it this year?
So, we’re onto Week 4, and we’ll be back later this week to bring you some picks and previews.
