Over-under on Foles' picks this year

You know you've arrived when the bookies have turned you into a side bet.
Looks like the nephews are messing with the Foles pics again.

So it is for Eagles quarterback Nick Foles. Last year he threw just 2 interceptions in addition to 27 touchdown passes.

According to Bovada (www.Bovada.lv, @BovadaLV), the over-under on Foles' interceptions in the 2014 regular season is 9 1-2. Bet 9 or less and you win the under. Ten or more gets you the over.

And oh, by the way, the over-under for DeSean Jackson touchdowns with Washington this year is, appropriately enough, 6.

Three things to watch in G2

1. The Eagles defense. It was as awful in the opener as a defense can be starting with the pathetic tackling. The Panthers aren't a stone-cold lock to make the playoffs but they're physical on both sides of the ball.

2. The way QB Nick Foles is received by the first-team offense. Foles entered after Mike Vick in the
opener. It's his show from the get-go.

3. Chip Kelly's visor. The Eagles head coach seems to adjust it incessantly when he's stressed out.
