Eytan Shander: Is pressure at an all-time high for Eagles, Phillies and Sixers?

Pressure is high in Philadelphia. The Eagles are the best team in the NFL. The Phillies are about to embark on a playoff run and the Sixers are just getting underway in preseason.

The Philadelphia sports landscape is watching multiple stages of success act out in front of us. The Eagles are 4-0, but questions remain about Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni. Doc Rivers has effectively kept his head above water as he continues to coach for his job. Joel Embiid is one of the game's best players, and the Sixers chose to build around James Harden this year. The organization can say whatever it wants, the team was built this offseason with championship aspirations. It's enough to make a lesser man – or coach – crack. Rob Thomson pulled off a “Mini-Doug” and stood up to all the pressure in the world.

Arizona is 6-0 ATS last six against the NFC East and has a knack for ending undefeated seasons. Arizona is a favorite of 5.5 points against Dallas. The Eagles are on a 17-game winning streak and deserve all the credit.
