The Eagles average 14.8 points in the first half this year which is 4th in the NFL. Their first half point margin is +1.8 per game
The Eagles have trailed at half in only 2 of their 6 games vs Rams and Giants

The Vikings are averaging just 11.8 points in the first half and they’ve scored only 3 offensive TD’s in the first half this season

We anticipate the Eagles getting off to a fast start and leading at the half
#126 ASA FREE PLAY ON Cincinnati Bengals -6 over Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Saturday at 7 PM ET
This line has jumped from Cincinnati -3 to -6 this week and for good reason. The Bengals are approaching this preseason much differently than they have the last few years.
Head Coach Zac Taylor has seen his team struggle early in the regular season after he decided to sit most of his starters the last few years in the preseason. Last year Cincy lost 3 of their first 4 regular season games and in 2022 they started 0-2. Taylor has decided to take a different approach and his starters will all play on Saturday, including QB Burrow.
Once Burrow exits, the Bengals will go with Jake Browning who started 7 games last year and threw for 2,000 yards. Tampa will sit all of their starters in this game according to head coach Todd Bowles.
The Bucs will start Kyle Trask under center (10 career pass attempts) so big advantage to the Bengals in this game at QB. While the Tampa starters will sit this one out, Bowles mentioned all of the rookies will play and potentially a lot.
Reading between the lines this week, it sounds as if Cincinnati wants to win this game after winning just 1 preseason game the last 2 years. We’ll call for the Bengals to win by at least a TD at home on Saturday.
