Philadelphia Eagles -3, total 55
Bradford Looking to Start Fast
The Eagles new quarterback is Sam Bradford who has yet to show he can stay healthy. When Bradford is on the field he can be very good and the Eagles offense was dynamic in the preseason. Bradford will have some exciting weapons on offense around him including running back DeMarco Murray who comes over from Dallas and rookie wide receiver Nelson Agholor. The key for the Eagles will be protecting Bradford so that they don’t have to put in backup Mark Sanchez. "I think this is the best we've looked since Chip got here (in 2013), in the preseason," Pro Bowl left tackle Jason Peters said.
Falcons Turn to Quinn
The Falcons have a new head coach in Dan Quinn who was the coordinator of Seattle’s great defense. The Falcons should be improved under Quinn and with the additions of first-round pick Vic Beasley, linebacker Justin Durant and Adrian Clayborn. "It's a work in progress," cornerback Desmond Trufant said. "But I like where we're going." The defense needs to at least slow down the Eagles in this game or the Falcons could get blown out in their home opener.
