Computer Model Loves Eagles and Jets
SportsLine computer picks also would have won more than 96 percent of CBS Sports Office Pool Manager leagues that made straight-up NFL picks last season.
Philly wins this game straight-up in a whopping 89 percent of simulations and covers the spread 63 percent of the time.
And in a surprise, the model is calling for the red-hot Carolina Panthers (-5) to win against the New York Jets, but it’s going to be much closer than Vegas expects.
Carolina is riding a three-game win streak, but only one of those games came against a team with a winning record (Falcons).
Carolina is winning 53 percent of straight-up simulations, while New York is winning against the spread 58 percent of the time, so proceed with caution before jumping all over the Panthers in this one.
