4:25 PM EST. The Eagles are 2-0 thanks to a very balanced effort, an over-achiever at quarterback and the fact they played teams that are a combined 0-4. After just two weeks, the Eagles have done more than any team in the league to raise their stock, as they are now getting national attention for their quick turnaround from the disastrous Chip Kelly era. Their management team is receiving praise for its shrewd move to trade up and draft Carson Wentz after so many had criticized them at the time. While the Eagles are a nice story, the hard truth is they've played two games against awful teams. Browns garbage; Bears hot garbage. Wentz has very limited options, as we do not see Jordan Matthews as a number one receiver. Matthews is tied for the league lead in drops and that includes a sure TD bomb he let slip away on Monday night. The Eagles are getting just a little too much market attention right now so if there was a right time to sell high, this would be it.

As a preseason Super Bowl favorite, the Steelers are surprisingly not getting enough credit. They rolled the Redskins in Week 1 and they reminded the Bengals once again who “big brother” is after a 24-16 win at home last Sunday. Furthermore, the Steelers are playing great defense - they've long been tough to run on but now even the secondary has only allowed one passing touchdown. The offense is hitting on all cylinders but for whatever reason they are largely being overlooked this week. The biggest overreactions are to last week’s prime time games. The Eagles whacked the Bears on prime time in impressive fashion and the result is this deflated number on the Steelers. This is a in-state rivalry between two 2-0 teams but only one of them is legit. If played two weeks ago, the Steelers would have been a -9 point fav or more. If played last week, it would have been around -6. So yeah, the Eagles have done some nice things but there are a ton of weaknesses that have not been exploited by capable opponents yet. This opponent is massively capable and we get them at a cheap price.
