The Philadelphia Eagles are Super Bowl champions.

0:07.0

Eagles everywhere. This is for you.

0:12.0

Let the celebration begin.

0:14.0

Rube, this is a weird week because we're getting ready to watch a game against the Cowboys

0:21.0

that actually doesn't really mean that much.

0:24.0

Yeah and you know it's weird because the Eagles have had these games in the past where you know they they can't improve their their seating.

0:32.0

I mean they technically can become a six seed but it doesn't mean anything because the opponents

0:37.5

They would have it six are the same as the opponents they could have at seven and since they play the day before those other games

0:44.5

They won't know. So there's really no motivation to win the game unless you just want to say you want 10 games.

1:25.2

potential playoff opponents. Ruby just mentioned them a little bit. And then if the starters don't play,

1:30.8

which we think there's a good chance they might not or at least some of them will go through

1:34.4

some of the players we really want to watch on Saturday and some of the young players we don't see all the time.

1:41.3

But Rube let's start with the starters and whether or not we think they'll play I mean the

1:46.2

the pure numbers of it suggests that some of them are going to have you can't just sit all 22 but you know with some guys as they rest regularly during the week and

1:57.5

and their starting quarterback who's been dealing with a lingering ankle injury it just it makes so much sense for them to rest some of these guys.
