Weekly Winners
week 1 - rome - 34-17 prediction vs 38-3 final
Since I missed Week 1, feel free to put me down as 0-1 even though I would have picked the Eagles to win with a final score of 38 to 3.
Eagles 24
Cowboys 14
This is a huge game, and I think the Eagles do well but ultimately get overmatched.
Dallas: 23
Philly: 20
Having said that, if the Eagles DO win this game, my hopes and expectations for this season will skyrocket.
Dallas 27
Eagles 10
Another week, another bunch of dropped INTs for the super awesome backfield full of pro bowlers. However, I think Stewie will have a fumble recovery to set up the field goal.
GF is sneaky cynical
This week we find out how good the Eagles really are. I am overly optimistic.
Eagles 28
Dallas 17
Eagles 23-21.
This week, Andy and McNabb show incredible poise and clock management, making the final 45 yard drive down the field, allowing Akers to kick a 17 yard FG with 4 seconds remaining, thus winning the game.
im gonna go with 17-14 Eagles.
I'll go ahead and predict a 21-20 Eagles win....but I'm not sure I believe it.
28-17 Eagles
Eagles- 24

Dallas's offense under Romo always starts fast and fades as the season goes. I wish this game were later in the season.

Donovan comes down to earth against a better D in his second game and get sacked 12 times. Sound familiar?

9 rushes.
5 for Westbrook, 1 McNabb scramble, 1 Tony Hunt goal line run, 2 for newly activated Reno Mahe!
Two time zone change, away game, Dallas's first home game. Hard to ovecome.

Eagles 24
Let's hope the Eagles injure someone important.
It's only 1 time zone, there geography king.

I didn't go to Yale to work 10 hours a day.
This game is supposed to be a loss but I don't know. I have a feeling...

McNabb and Teh Shawn Jackson sit in the back of the bus on the way from the airport to the Hotel. It's late. Their flight was delayed because of Ike. Reggie Brown sitting up front is in mid-conversation with Jason Avant when he turns around to see what McNabb is up to. He says McNabb and TehShawn asleep...with McNabb's head resting on TehSahwn's shoulder. Reggies eye's slowly water.
Bryant WesBrook- 3 Rushing TD's
TehShawn- 1 PR TD, I Receiving
L.J. Smith-TD's
McNabb- 1 Rushing TD, 3 TD Passes

I can see the Eagles scoring 2 td's and I'm calling a DJ td return. This is the week he takes one to the house!

'Boys 27-24.
Birds 38 - 17 Faaarrrrrrgggg DallASS! T.O. breaks down on the sideline & Romo gets concussed.
Anyone want action on how many Jerry Jones eye-rolling cut-away shots there are? I'll set the line at 3, and take the over.

Westbrook goes over 100 yards yet Dmac doesn't have the greatest game. Samuels get's his first pick as an Eagle and the D carries them to a win.....
Eagles 17 - 13
Key matchups for this game.
Trent Cole vs. Marc Colombo. When Romo has been pressured, the Cowboys get beat, plain and simple. The Eagles need a big game from Cole.
Brodrick Bunkley vs. Leonard Davis. You know the Cowboys are going to run Barber on the right side behind Davis. If this team wants to go anywere in this division this year, Bunkley needs to preform well against the good teams like Dallas. Bunkley and Patterson have turned into a couple pretty good players against the run. They need to show it here. A good pass rush that will collapse the pocket and force Romo outside to the DE's will go a long way to a Eagles win. Put Romo on the move and let the DB's do their job. TO is really good at coming back to his QB. We find out how good our DB's are this week. I'd love to see a couple picks.
DeSean Jackson vs. Cowboys ST's. Good field position against a team like the Cowboys is critical. It's also something this team hasn't had in the last 6-7 years. I know the pimpman will be fired up for his first time on Monday Night Football. A return for a TD could very well be the difference in this game. I can't wait to see how DJ responds to all the hype surrounding this game.
Another key to this game I feel is the playcalling of Andy Ried and the preformance of the OL. Reid has to come up with plays that will distrupt the Cowboys pass rush. The perfect play for this is one I don't think we saw much of last week. The screen pass to Bwest, or a sweep. It is NOT a quick out or slant pattern to Avant or Lewis, which seems to be Reids favorite play on first or second down. IMO, you have to widen Dallas's defense.
I know it's a forgone conclusion, but the OL has to have a good game, and keep the Cowboys pass rush to a minimum. Give DMac time and he will burn you. We don't need him getting knocked down on his ass and getting hurt. I really don't want to see him scrambling anymore either. Last week I applauded when he ran straight out of bounds to keep from getting hit. Let's face it, after seeing Dmac blow his knee out just plain running to the sidelines a couple of years ago.........well, his scrambling days are over I hope.
Bwest had a alright game last week. A TD and 90 some yards. Thats fine for most RB's in this league, but not Bwest. Reid didn't call his number much for some reason, or so thats the way it seemed to me. He must be more invovled in the offense for an Eagles win. Get him the ball in the flat, or in space past the line of scrimmage. The Cowboys have two good linebackers in Zach Thomas and Bradie James, but I've seen Bwest make them miss numerous times before. They will be overmatched. Between passing and running, Bwest needs to have the ball 25-30 times for the Eagles to win this game, imo.
I hope it's different:

other team-24
last year eagles went from 56 to 3....this time there will be no winston justice and a healthy donovan mcnabb so i dont think they will look that anemic but i still believe going up against a real defense with very good corners will present a problem
24-13 dallas
you drunken bastich.
Both teams off to hot start, but Dallas beat a much better team, and beat them bad. Not sure whats up with the Browns? The Rams win proves nothing, our season starts tomorrow at Dallas. This is a huge game. If we can protect McNabb all day, look for another record day, but once that pressure gets on McNabb he turns into the 50/50 guy. Westbrook needs to be solid all day if McNabb is getting pressured. The O-Line needs a big day, with major protection. It all starts with them tomorrow.
Defense needs to step it up as well. Get pressure on Romo from the start and don't stop. We can beat Dallas bad with getting to Romo...plain and simple. Punch them in their mouths, get an early lead, take the crowd out...force Romo to win the game...we win.
Now the chances of this happening are slim...but we will lose one and win one against them this year...for a fact. I say we take this one from them. But it's close...its going to be a last drive game winner. Dawkins makes a game ending INT to seal the deal
Birds - 23
Pukes - 20
Westbrook scores twice, 1 running, 1 receiving. Akers goes 3/4
TO - burns us for one. M. Barber runs over a few defenders to score also.

Have your picks in by 7:30 pm. I'll tally picks and results tomorrow morning. Maybe.
I think the Eagles will be able move the ball on the Cowboys D. It's stopping the Cowboys offense I'm worried about. I'm worried about Witten tearing up the Eagles from the inside. I don't think TO will be much of factor. But I think Barber and Witten underneath will be a problem.
On offense, I see Westbrook having a big day catching the ball. Dallas is trying to keep Roy Williams on the field during 1st and 2nd downs and off the field on the 3rd downs. I'm sure the Eagles will throw a lot when he is on the field to take advantage of his piss poor coverage skills. The Cowbowys OLBs can rush the passer, but you can abuse them in the passing game and I expect LJ to have a big game.
Eagles - 31
Cowboys - 28
i think Gocong gets abused by Witten this game, and with Safety's blanketing coverage on TO, Witten will end up with over 100 yds
im so farging hyped for this game...luckily work is busy as a mofo and making the day go fast

I hope I am wrong. Also, I think this is going to be a Cowboy's love fest during the broadcast. I better not see a shot of Jessica Simpson unless she is naked.
Be prepared. It's already a TO lovefest on NFL channel.
"And here comes TO jogging onto the field!!"
"TO and McNabb were 15 feet apart, and there were no words, or even a glance at one another!!"
TO this and TO that. Everthing that happened when he left was McNabbs fault because he couldn't handle TO being bigger than him. TO can admit McNabb made him a better receiver, but McNabb can't admit that TO made him a better quarterback. bla bla bla.
Nothing has been said all week about TO's contract, or him wanting more money, or doing pushups in his driveway, or Rosenpuke and his "No Comment" interview. Nahhh, it was never about the money. It was all that crybaby McNabb.
Most of the reaction I heard from the ESPN talking heads about TO's "jealousy" comments was basically telling TO to shut up.
Yeah, I'm talking mostly about TO's view on it and how it keeps getting reported on.

E_L was closer in points scored, and is thus the winner.
Sorry, bra. Better luck next week. I think I already have it locked up, tho.
there was a guy with a trombone at my eagles bar last night. i think i may have done damage to my insides. $20 for all you can drink is not reasonable for someone like me.
I just got in from being out of town. I want to post a prediciton.
The Eagles move the ball like hell against the Dallas D in the 1st half... score some points and take a lead into halftime. Samuel and Gocong will each make a play for the D. Pimp will have a pretty damn good game, but will make one monumentally stupid mistake at some point. Luckily though... it won't cost the Eagles points. Overall it'll be more like a track meet than a football game... in the end, the Eagles can't answer a Cowboys score after a turnover (probably an INT)... and the Eagles lose a heartbreaker.

I know I'm crazy to be predicting one of the highest MNF scores ever... but what the hell... call it a hunch.
I predict the Mets will lose to the Nats last night.

The Nationals suck. Your prediction is preposterous.
I predict the Mets will lose the Nats last night and also the night before.
I'm amazed your preposterous predicitions are repeatedly proven to be true
I think I probaaably would have traded the score prediction for not having to leave Texas Stadium getting shtein thrown at me (though that may have happened either way).
