Week 13 betting advice: Take the Eagles minus-10 over the Dolphins

Oddsmakers offshore opened up the Eagles as 9-point road favorites with the combined total set at 46.5 and we immediately saw some sharp money hit the screen on Doug Pederson’s team, which forced the bookmakers to move this line up to 10. This is the perfect matchup for a team like Philly, which has been struggling on offense.

PhillyVoice High School Football Top 10: St. Joe Prep freshman Josiah Trotter is keeping linebacking in the family

There is a difference between the two. The older one is more apt to enter a room, stand off on the side until his comfort level builds, then slowly integrate himself to his surroundings. The other, a few years younger, will just walk right in and announce his presence.

Former Flyers goalie Brian Boucher has made the transition to broadcasting look easy

His arena ceiling was a blue sky so bright it hurt the eyes to look up. The nearby trees, parked cars, and wooden fences that enclosed the family’s Woonsocket, Rhode Island, ranch were his bleachers and imaginary fans. It was a place where his legs and mind could roam, where as an 11-year-old, Brian Boucher would announce fantasy hockey games by himself in the driveway.

St. Joe's Prep QB Kyle McCord continues to improve, thanks to Super Bowl MVP Phil Simms

Derek McCord was an anomaly. He was a teenager raised in Long Island, New York, and was a devout Denver Broncos fan. Even today, McCord can reel off the date as if recalling a tragic family moment: January 25, 1987. The McCord home was filled that day with Giants fans — except for one, Derek —watching Big Blue and Phil Simms squash McCord’s Broncos and his hero, John Elway, in Super Bowl XXI.
