Vegas Insider Previews NFL Betting Eagles-Patriots

As the NFL world expresses shock over the fact that Dante’ Stallworth is suspended for the entire NFL season, NFL handicappers are focusing on the here and now, assuring betting picks don’t fall below the Vegas betting version of the Mendoza Line. 

The PGA Championship golf odds and Tiger Woods took center stage, this morning, but tonight NFL preseason betting goes into full swing.

“Will Tom Brady play and how long?” seems to be the burning question for NFL bettors entering tonight’s Eagles-Patriots game. The sportsbook Vegas odds have the Philadelphia Eagles -3 with a total of 31.

Eagles backup QB Kevin Kolb and former Pro Bowl DE Trent Cole will both miss Thursday’s game. The Eagles already lost starting MLB Stewart Bradley and rookie TE Cornelius Ingram for the year. Kolb likely was counted on for a lot of snaps Thursday.

Philadelphia will likely be without their best OL Shawn Andrews who has missed a lot of practice time because of a bad back.

Though Pats head coach Bill Belichick has been his usual secretive self, starting QB Tom Brady believes he will get more than “a guest appearance.” Recovering from a season ending injury, Brady has not missed any practice time.

Eagles starters will play about a quarter. Because of the Kolb injury, A.J. Feeley will play most of the rest of the contest at QB after Donovan McNabb exits, probably into the second quarter. Adam DiMichele, a local kid from Temple, was just signed as the No. 1 signal caller for tonight. 

The Boston Globe reports that Bill Belichick will be motivated to win thanks to last year’s 0-4 straight up preseason. He in fact showed his players game film of the NFLX 24-3 loss last season when these teams met.

That was enough motivation for all of us,” Brady said. Late breaking injury and player rotations will be posted at Lines-Maker.com as stringers report from pregame shows and beat writer bloggers.
