Brandon Boykin suffered a hamstring injury, so the Eagles went to some three-safety looks with Jenkins, Nate Allen and Wolff.

Casey Matthews, Emmanuel Acho and Smith continued to split time at inside linebacker in place of Mychal Kendricks.

GUESSING THE LINE: EAGLES (-7.5)

The Eagles get the Rams next week. St. Louis is 1-2 and coming off the bye.

The guess here is that the Birds are pretty substantial favorites.
