Eagles aim for much-needed upset victory against Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football

It’s hard enough to upset a 4-1 team, and it’s even more difficult when that team’s quarterback is Tom Brady.

He’s only the best quarterback of all time – not a big deal.

Anyway… that’s what the Philadelphia Eagles will have to do if they want to knock Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football.

And they’ll have to do it in a short week of practice as well.

Bruce Arians doesn’t only have to rely on his quarterback, either …

He has the best rushing defence in the NFL BY A MILE. They’re 30 yards ahead of anyone else!

But the Eagles are going to have to figure it out.

They’re 2-3, and falling even further behind the division leading Cowboys in the NFC East.

If they want a chance at the playoffs, they’ll need a big-game performance from Jalen Hurts to match Brady’s performance.

If you’re looking for a safe bet in this one, look no further than the cerebral Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Here is my pick: 

·   Take Tampa Bay on the spread (-6.5) -110
