St Johns Red Storm have opened the season 2-0 S/U and 1-1 ATS. They opened with a win over St Peters, 76-75, though they barely covered as a 11-point favorite. Then they rebounded with a nice win over Lasalle, 82-65. Boston College is 1-1 S/U and 2-0 ATS. The Eagles opened with a loss to top 10 Villanova, 67-76 and then beat a very good Rhode Island team, 69-64. St John's returned four starters to a team that was 17-15 last year and 5-13 in the Big East. Last year was a transition year and the record showed that. They still have a long way to go to be a factor in the Big East, but they have the building blocks to do so. BC returns three starters to a 13-19 team from last year. The Eagles lost in the 2nd round of the ACC tournament last season. Even though BC lost starters to graduation, they returned enough talent to actually make them better this year. That has showed as they played two very good teams and were in both games and in fact covered both. This is the game they get to win here today against an inferior St Johns squad.

If the Playoffs started today the Seahawks would be in and the Eagles out. Philly is only 3-6-1 on the season, but because the NFC East is so bad, they still have a chance. The Giants won today and took over the division lead, but there are still some games left and anything can happen in that crazy division. Seattle coming off a big win over NFC West foe Arizona last week, 28-21. Russell Wilson played a great game, going 23 of 28 with no turnovers. Philly has lost two in a row and now trails both Washington and the Giants in the crazy NFC East. The fans are calling for Jalen Hurts to takeover at QB and that might happen if they lose here tonight. Seattle has the league's third ranked offense and 2nd passing attack. Philly ranks 27th as they are 27th running and 22nd passing. Philly does hold the edge on defense, as they rank 10th overall compared to the Seahawks 32nd ranked defense. Don't see the Eagles offense being able to keep up with Seattle's here on Monday. I'll lay the price on the road with Wilson and the Seahawks.
