NFL Betting: Vick Eagles Starting QB
NFL betting fans reacted positively to the news that Michael Vick is the new starting quarterback of the Philadelphia Eagles. The news came in just a day after Andy Reid, the Eagles coach, stated that it was Kevin Kolb’s job. Everyone is still wondering, what prompted Reid to change his decision on Tuesday.
The announcement naming Vick as the starting quarterback came in through a text message, while Reid was supposed to give the details at a news conference later.
Attracting more than 65% of the betting action, the Philadelphia Eagles are the clear favorites against Jacksonville for their forth coming NFL game on Sunday. With the betting line having the Eagles as 3 point favorites, the majority of LinesMaker’s NFL bettors are anxiously waiting to see if the Eagles will be able to live up to the high expectations of the NFL betting public.
Vick had a spectacular performance in the absence of Kolb, who did not play in the last six quarters due to a concussion. However, Kolb was deemed fit for practice and was supposedly going to run the offense on Wednesday. Beginning two games into the first three seasons, Kolb became the No. 1 quarterback of the team, following Donovan McNabb’s trade to Washington.
Throwing for 175 yards and one touchdown, Vick completed 103 yards in the season opener, when the Eagles lost to Green Bay, 27–20. In the Eagles 35–32 victory over Detroit on Sunday, Vick contributed with 284 yards passing and two TDs. Whether Vick can do as well as the Eagles’ earlier quarterbacks is yet to be seen.
