(2-4) Philadelphia Eagles @ (2-4) Minnesota Vikings, Sunday at 1pm FOX at the Metrodome.
Well, the word "Must-win" is used a lot in a season that isnt going the you thought. When your season is starting to spiral out-of-control you use "must-win" to make yourself feel like this game is important. If the Eagles win this game though...are thehy really back in it?
I actully think they are and here is why. I still think this team is good enough on defesne to carry them to at least 3-4 more wins. And just by accident if you move the ball up and down the field like their offense does, they have to get into the end-zone at some point, and if they do that another 3-4 wins. Thats at least six more wins if the ifs happen.
So here is how I see it Sunday:
1. The Eagles will throw the ball in this game, the Vikings will are not a very good pass rushing team and they arent very good in the secondary. If LJ Smith comes back he will help and I see Reggie Brown having a decent game if LJ is back.
2. The Vikings have a very good running game, but with Brad Childress, they dont use it enough. Childress is a Andy Reid guy and he wants to beat Reid at his own game - throwing the football. The Eagles arent great verse the pass, but the Vikings have less weapons at WR then the Eagles do.
3. The Vikings stop the run very well, the Eagles are a good running team so expect to see Westbrook get the call on the screen pass a lot.
4. The Adrian Peterson factor. Last week the Birds kicked away from Devin Hester all week, this week Peterson will be back returning kicks, the Eagles coverage units better be up for the callange.
5. Finally, I dont think the Vikings are as talented as the Eagles. They have poor WR, QB and no TE. Expect the Eagles offesne to finally bust out and their talent will win this one.
Eagles 23 - Vikings 13
