Rotation #151
Eagles -2.5 over Bucs (loss)
There has never been an NFL team that collapsed in the season’s final month like the Eagles. The good news is that they are an outstanding team with a great quarterback in Jalen Hurts, who can run the ball well. The Bucs don’t have the best offensive line, as they can’t run the ball, and the wild card factor in this selection is the health of Baker Mayfield. Mayfield is nursing an ankle injury, and his ribs are sore. He has not looked well in the last two weeks. I could see the Eagles knocking him out of the game. QB play means everything in the playoffs. Baker Mayfield is unhealthy, and I don’t trust him to play at his best. Philadelphia can make many wrong things turn right for them with a victory. Take the Eagles.
