It was definitely up there.
Having witnessed my team reach the pinnacle of success I no longer view non-conference games as important - because they're not. Every win you can get is important but they're not indicators of anything, more valuable, or some kind of weighted metric that portrays a valuable insight.
We'll likely lose a close game because Andy likes to hide a lot of his playbook until the end of the season or the playoffs. Andy realizes it's only one game and if anything is less valuable or meaningful than a conference or division win. Fans love it and us degenerate gamblers love it but that's all it is.
I'd predict a 4-7 pt loss while the defense plays amazingly well for an amazingly vanilla game plan defensively. Spags will likely blitz but not do much Philly hasn't already seen.
I hope the WR's play well, the line blocks well, and nobody gets hurt. Other than that I can't say I really much care about this week.
That and my best friend who's also my bookie is visitng family for the next 3 weeks so there's only so much I can care without any skin in the game. And no matter how bad we were to lose I've got 3 SB's of memories that can't bring me down....
