The good news is that a smattering of fans will be at the Linc on Sunday to watch the Eagles, the first time the city has allowed such a gathering because of the pandemic.
The bad news is that the opponent is the Baltimore Ravens.
Line: Ravens -7.5 | Total: 47
A defining characteristic of the Ravens (4-1) is that they do not take games off.
That’s just an opportunity to run for 200 yards and put up 30-plus points.
And the team’s defense gets in on the same act.
That’s all terrible news for the Eagles (1-3-1), who have a crowded injury report and aren’t a particularly good team when healthy.
It’s worth noting for future weeks that Lamar Jackson’s passing, while still effective, has taken a dip from last season’s MVP.-level efficiency.
That probably won’t matter on Sunday, but it might when the team comes out of its bye to face Pittsburgh in Week 8.
