Price Per Head Sports Betting - Nick Foles is Super-Sharp, Derrick Rose is Not

Price Per Head football bettors who backed the Philadelphia Eagles saw that in his previous game, Nick Foles had completed eleven of 29 passes for 80 yards and got knocked out of a game against the Dallas Cowboys with a concussion, leaving rookie Matt Barkley to pick up the pieces - badly we might add - as he threw three interceptions in the fourth quarter of a game where Philadelphia scored three points. 

Foles had to sit the next week out, when the Eagles failed to fly again, scoring seven points against the New York Giants. And  with Michael Vick ailing again, coach Chip Kelly was hopeful that Foles wouldn't still be showing those "concussion-like symptoms" when he had to make the decision as to who to start against the Oakland Raiders. 
Well, he got lucky. 
As all WagerHome.com customers have seen (through NFL Sunday Ticket or Red Zone) or read about, Foles threw for SEVEN touchdown passes without an interception on Sunday, leading the Eagles to a 49-20 win. That equaled an NFL record that has most recently been tied by Peyton Manning. And Foles probably could have had more, because Kelly actually took the foot off the pedal in the fourth quarter and inserted Barkley into the game. 
On the day, Foles had 406 yards, with a perfect passer rating of 158.3. In fact, that was a better game than Manning had in the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens. It is being said that it may be the best statistical game in NFL history by a quarterback. 
This is going to be the kind of thing that will make it difficult for PPH football bettors, and tough for oddsmakers at WagerHome.com or elsewhere as well. We say that because the Eagles may be the hardest team to figure out in the NFL. We know that when Kelly came to Philadelphia, he sold himself on the idea that he was bringing an offensive approach that was similar to what he employed at Oregon (and which the Ducks still do). Sure, they are playing the no-huddle, hurry-up style. But at least theoretically, there is a quarterback who is ideal for that offense (Vick), who gives you the quarterback who can run with the ball AND throw it, and then there is the other quarterback (Foles) who can throw it but isn't a rushing threat. We know that Kelly likes Foles as a passer, but he gives him only half of what he ideally wants. 
All WagerHome.com customers know that at this point, whether Vick gets healthy or not, Foles is going to be the quarterback, and the public perception has been greatly altered by that performance in Oakland, as they probably forget about what happened in Dallas. 
What will this do to the number that PPH customers at WagerHome will be playing against when the Eagles meet up with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday? As of the kickoff of Green Bay's Monday night game against the Chicago Bears, there were some "outlaw" lines that had it at 10.5 points. But what will the public do with it? Have the Eagles found the guy who is, in reality, the right fit for the offense? Or was that something of a mirage; the result of a sharp day against one of the NFL's lesser teams? There is little doubt that football bettors will vote with their wallets.

PPH bettors at WagerHome who like to wager on NBA action know that the Chicago Bulls don't have much of a chance to go anywhere in the Eastern Conference without a healthy, sharp Derrick Rose. And of course, his comeback from injury is one of the bigger stories of the NBA season. 

And he's got a long way to go.

Rose has only played three games thus far, but he has shown himself to be rusty, to say the least, hitting 29% of his shots and turning the ball over 5.7 times a game, against 4.3 assists. To use some perspective, two seasons ago, before he got hurt, Rose averaged 7.9 assists and just 3.1 turnovers. 

Price Per Head customers who were watching know that Rose looked really strong in the pre-season, turning in some dazzling efforts. For instance, he scored 22 points in 22 minutes against Detroit and 32 points in 31 minutes against Indiana. To use some advanced "sabermetric" figures, his "effective field goal percentage" was  59.1%, which was abnormally high, and his Player Efficiency Rating of 39.64, if projected over a full season, would have been the highest ever. 

There has to be a more comprehensive explanation other than just to say that the competition in the regular season has gotten stronger. We'll continue to follow up, and meanwhile. we'd like to hear what you have to say. Join our community at http://www.wagerhome.com
