Forget the Philadelphia Eagles vs. the Jacksonville Jaguars betting odds, Thursday night is all about Michael Vick. The Eagles are a -7 home favorite at BetUS.com
The mystery is solved: Expect to see Michael Vick on the field in the first quarter of Thursday night's preseason game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to sources with knowledge of the Eagles' game plan.
"Andy wants him to play quarterback -- run around on the field and see how he responds to the speed of the game," one source told ESPN.
From ESPN.com:
Reid is concerned that Vick -- after a layoff of more than two years -- can quickly adjust to the speed and intensity usually reserved for the third preseason game, which is customarily treated like the regular season by most NFL teams. Indeed, Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio has told his defensive starters to expect to play well into the third quarter.
"Another thing they want to see is Michael's ball security tonight," a source close to Vick said. "They want to see how Michael handles the traffic of the game."
By the way, BetUS.com offers plenty of Michael Vick betting props.
