The Philadelphia Eagles now 5-8 and have 5,000,000-to-1 odds to make the playoffs, so there's very little to play for the rest of the season, other than to continue the progression of Carson Wentz and pray he doesn't get hurt.
The Eagles head down I-95 to Baltimore to face the Ravens with seven players listed on their Friday injury report in addition to an injured reserve list that grew by three this past week. The Ravens are mostly healthy, although they will be missing their best cornerback in Jimmy Smith.
The Eagles head into this game as six-point underdogs. I see yet another Eagles loss, while the rest of our staff agrees that it's just too hard to justify picking the Birds to win at this point.
