I'm all in on the Eagles this week. I continue to come back to the same reasons week in and week out this time of year.
Case Keenum in his career:
Indoors: 10-3, 17td's, 4 ints, 107.7 QBR
Outdoors: 8-11, 18tds, 16 ints, 77.2 QBR
Retractable: 3-6, 11td, 7ints, 78.2 QBR
In 2017:
Indoors: 8-1, 12tds, 2 ints, 105.1 QBR
Outdoors: 4-2, 10tds, 5 ints, 88.2 QBR
One might look at those numbers and try to place the discrepancy more on the fact he doesn't play well on the road, but that's not the case. Here are his career home/away splits:
Home: 11-9, 18tds, 15ints, 84.8 rating
Away: 10-11, 28tds, 12ints, 87.1 rating
Bottom line, it doesn't matter if his home field is indoors or outdoors, this boy just don't like to play in the sunlight. It's also another reason why I want absolutely nothing to do with the Vikings in the Super Bowl in that dome.
Keenum did a great job this year, after being given the starting job, and leading the Vikings to where they are. You know who else once did a great job after being given the reigns? Nick Foles. In 2013, once he was named a starter in week 6, he went on to go 8-2, with 28tds, 2 ints, and led the NFL with a 119 QBR.
Foles absolutely has the ability to go out this week and move the ball methodically, and lead the Eagles to 17-24 points, and I think the very underrated Eagles defense has the ability to hold Keenum and the Vikings offense to less than that.
