First wins for an NFL coach are always special. Giants coach Joe Judge experienced that thrill last Sunday. But there is no time to rest. New York must saddle up for a trip to Philadelphia. Thursday night the slumping Eagles will try to jumpstart their season. Coach Doug Pederson can’t get Philadelphia out of the ditch. Last week’s NFL betting loss to Baltimore was a heartbreaker. But it continues a disturbing pattern of underachievement. To be exact the 2017 Super Bowl season is looking like a fluke. Ironically enough starring quarterback Carson Wentz was out that season.
