  • Take the Birds!

    No. 2: Philadelphia Eagles (432-387-13, .527)

    The Eagles have the second-best mark against the spread in the Super Bowl era. It is the city of underdogs, right? While Philadelphia has only one Lombardi trophy to its name, it has been a consistently competitive franchise over much of the past four-plus decades while avoiding long down streaks. Credit strong coaching for some of that. From Dick Vermeil to Andy Reid to Doug Pederson, the Eagles have found leaders who inspire loyalty and accountability among the players. Reid's tenure in particular stands out. The Eagles enjoyed eight double-digit-win seasons under him. -- Tim McManus [espn.com]

    Certainly since Andy showed up the birds have been competitive most years so that is 20 years of being in the conversation to win the east. But I can't ever forget some of the years when brutal knuckleheads ran the franchise. It is so much better now
    Wait until next year is a terrible philosophy
    Hope is not a strategy
    RIP

      You're right ND, but apparently they were covering the spread in a lot of those games.
