Who’s afraid of the big, bad Pats? Not Philadelphia, at least not from an ATS standpoint anyway! These two non-conference foes have met eight times since 1981 and it’s the Eagles that own a 5-3 SU, 7-1 ATS log. Since those three losses have all come since 2003, we realize that the Belichick/Brady combo has never lost to the Birds. However, one of those losses was 24-21 in the Super Bowl and the other was a controversial 31-28 loss at New England in 2007 as 25-point – yes, 25-point – dogs when the Pats were marching toward perfection. The pressure is on the Eagles who have to win out to insure a playoff spot – and without Vick that is doubtful – but until they lose, you can rest assured they’ll take the fi eld with as much talent as any team in the league. And they may have the right QB for the job today as Vince Young is a rock-solid 16-7 ATS as a dog in his NFL career. HC Andy Reid has also been dandy as a non-division dog off a SU dog win, posting a 7-2 ATS record. And while New England’s short work week also figures to play a part inthis week’s result (the Pats are 4-9 SU and ATS away off a Monday night game), the clincher comes from our powerful BSNSportsblog.com database as it notes: NFL road favorites of more than 3 points off a SU and ATS double-digit win as a home favorite which was preceded by a SU road dog win are 9-31 ATS. Grab the points but we feel you won’t need ‘em as the Eagles pull a Rocky and keep their faint playoff hopes alive. Current Line: Patriots listed as 4-point favorites against the Eagles, and the game's total is sitting at 50½. New England Patriots vs. Philadelphia Eagles Stats: New England is 20-5 SU in its last 25 games
