Underdog Pick for Week 2

Baltimore Ravens (+2.5) at Philadelphia Eagles
John Harbaugh returns to Philadelphia where he coached for 9 years. Harbaugh was the only coach Reid kept when Reid took over as head coach of the Eagles.


I had the Ravens favored in this game by a field goal. I was very shocked to even see the Eagles favored in this one, especially after the Ravens beatdown on Monday Night and the Eagles struggles in Cleveland. Michael Vick was constantly pressured last weekend in Cleveland and was scrambling for his life all day. He got picked off 4 times and only completed 51% of his passes against a decent Browns defense. I expect more of the same from the Ravens defense this Sunday. The Ravens have always been stout against the run too, so I don't expect McCoy to have much of an impact. Desean Jackson and J Maclin are banged up but expected to start for the Eagles.

Take the Ravens plus the Points in this one.
