Have the Eagles truly landed? Well, I am on Hurts and the Eagles until I see otherwise. The Eagles have done much to bolster the team in the off season. AJ Brown might not even be the most significant addition as they have significantly added to the defense through free agency and the draft. Hurts needs to take that step forward this season and the Eagles brain trust has put him in the best possible position to make that step. The Eagles now have a trio of top targets for Hurts, a very strong O-line and a dominant run game to boot. Did I mention a top 5 or 6 defense?

Run is a bit of a dirty word for the Lions. They don't have an established run game, and they likely wont defend the run much better than last year. Geoff, like Hurts, needs to make the next step, but the Lions, while improved, don't have the personnel to fully support him. Their offensive line was expected to be a bright spot this year, but the injury bug has struck already. While it likely won't be the rout we say last year, I expect the Eagles to win and cover.
