Point Spread: 2.50 | -110.00 Philadelphia (Away)
Result: Win
We are getting a nice underdog here on Saturday night. The Indianapolis Colts have one goal in mind here on Saturday- No more injuries! They have a ton of injuries, most notably in their secondary and just want to get healthy for week 1 regular season action which is in 2 weeks. Indy doesn't have many healthy bodies in their secondary. Cornerbacks Jalil Brown, D'Joun Smith, Tevin Mitchel, Vontae Davis, Patrick Robinson, and Antonio Cromartie all won't play. Head coach Chuck Pagano said they will be without 13 injured players and I dont expect Luck to play more than 2 Quarters. Philly is 2-0 SU and ATS here in the preseason, and Doug Pederson is exactly the kind of coach who wants to win these meaningless exhibitions in August to build confidence heading into the regular play. The Eagles have one of the best backup QB's in the league in Chase Daniel, expected to play the rest of the way after Sam Bradford sits. That gives Philly a legitimate QB edge in the second half of this preseason tilt.
