You should go back and watch that game against Dallas last weekend and get back to me. Also, one more angle. You should ask yourself what big games has Nick Folk come up in? The Falcons dominated most of last years super bowl against a really good patriots team. The Falcons as a team didn't change much this year. Philly on the other hand, hasn't been to a wild card game since 2013 (they lost that) and their last 3 wild card appearances 2013, 2010 and 2009 were all losses.
The Falcons are under-valued right now imo.
Gents,
Just a word of caution.
Wentz is the only part of the entire equation that changed.
This is still a team with solid coaching, great defense w/ a ferocious pass rush, a wide array of receiving weapons incl. a TOP 6 TE and a 3 headed running monster!
The team is coming off 2 rough showings but now they have had time to prepare and especially work with settling down Foles mentally.
May I remind you this is the same QB who had 25TD/2INT in 9 games a few years ago w/ PHI when Vick went down.
He has been there a while and though saw a change in HC he knows the playbook. No team is as bad as their last game ..or in this case..two.
If it looks too easy......just step cautious and remember what builds those properties in LV??...linesmakers capitalizing on Joe Q. Publics perception of what they last saw!
One more thing....Matty Ice melts when he plays tough pass rushes in COLD weather! Ask the Giants. Look at what NE did to them earlier this year.
Just my .02
ENJOY THE TILTS!!

That game was irrelevant. You say a last game of the season with Philly having clinched home field... a 6-0 game, is normal, a game to assess future wagers? Did the Philly RBs (and everybody else on "O") go all out all game like they will next week to compliment Foles? It was an entirely different situation.
You are a good capper but beware, I actually have seen Foles play a LOT of games, and I expect him to play the role next week more than adequately.
Foles is OK, more than adequate to take Philly to the SB, and Philly O & D are very solid, and if it is cold it will help rested Philly even more. Atlanta should be a bit road weary, to boot.
GL!
Foles is affecting the running game. His lack of accuracy and mobility is making it real simple for the defenses. He looked good against the Giants, but I just cant figure out his poor play the last 2 games against average at best defenses. I have no doubts the Eagles d line will slow the run and make Ryan uncomfortable, question is can the dbs cover a very talented Falcon stable of wrs? Atlanta settles for an awful lot of fgs and though they advanced, the game ball goes to Pharoah Cooper who absolutely should have been benched. If you re putting your $ on Foles, you really are gambling.
