I'm not trying to be a homer but the Philly/TB line surprised me bit. I was expecting a pick'em so the TB -2 1/2 in Vega$ set me back...........

TB has an edge overall on the offense side. (They better keep the ball away from Alstott because he'll end up coughing it up on the Vet carpet/concrete)

I think it's a coin flip between their D's. Philly gets an edge if Brooks can't go. (I expect him to play; he's a warrior from the LT mold; I still remember the Jints/Saints game from about a decade or so ago when LT couldn't even lift his right arm)

Philly has a slight advantage on special teams

Overall intangibles (weather, Vet field, etc.) weigh heavily in Philly's favor

Therefore, I'm leaning towards picking Philly to win outright

At this point, I'm leaning towards all of the home teams (against the spread) at this time but today's only Wednesday.
