I'm sitting thinking the Eagles look like the pick vs Tampa on Sunday . The Gles are smarting from a loss where the Saints looked very clever keeping McNabb off the field. The Saints knew they couldn't stop Philly. It is doubtful the rookie will come close to impersonating Drew Brees . Is it a stretch to think the Eagles Defense is better than the Bengals or Saints. These teams haven't sqared off in a while so it is hard to get a feel for how they will matchup. The Buccs Oline can't be as good as the Saints. The Buccs were happy to get a first down vs the sickly Bengals D last week. They are not good enough to play keep away vs Philly. Once the Eagles get a 10 point lead the rookie will look like the rookie he is. The knock on the Eagles is that they are roadweary while the Buccs will be juiced up after last weeks pseudo victory. Good teams don't lay eggs two weeks in a row do they? For me this is as easy as a 12 year old would see it. McNabb on fire vs the rookie. As soon as I finished this I remebered two rookies that played pretty good last week. Is there something I'm forgetting here? The Eagles would be -6 to -7.5 if it wasn't for a very cheap roughing the passer call vs the Bengals last week. My feeling is the Eagles are in no mood for a close game. Look for then to go for the throat early. If you don't think they can execute this plan, take the Buccs
