I can't say that I am confident about this game at all. That may be my hurricane anxiety talking, though.

San Diego 24
Eagles 10

i'll go against the trend phreak, Birds 28-17

Good job, T.

But now I see that not only are people picking them to lose, but they're picking a significant loss.

I don't have a feeling at all this game. That's odd.

I'll go with:

Eagles 27
SD 23

This is going to be tough, but I'll be optimistic, as usual

Eagles 34
Chargers 31

Such a weird feeling all week towards the birds. 3-2 has a lot of people skeptical.

This game will be ugly, everyone will panic but birds will pull it out 27-23.

As I stated earlier if we can get through this 5 game stretch at 3-2 I'll be happy. 6-4 will put us in good shape.

Go Seahawks!

Kearse gets like a hundred tackles and 16 sacks. 'I have nothing to contribute.

Collection of useless stats:

Based on Jeff Sagarin's computer rankings: Chargers by 2 using Predictor (most accurate), or Eagles by 3 (overall rating)
The cool yards/point bendability index: Eagles 16.2, Chargers 15.7 - Edge Eagles (teams have to "work harder" to score)
Overall scoring defense: Eagles 20.2, Chargers 21 - Edge Eagles
Overall scoring offense: Eagles 24.5, Chargers 29.3 - Edge Chargers
Turnover ratio: Eagles +3, Chargers +1

My initial gut feeling was yet another embarrassment for the Eagles: 24-6
But I think Andy Reid's post bye-week mojo is going to save this one for us - Eagles win, 24-21

And the results for the useless stats predictors:
Sagarin: 0/1 - 1/0
Bendability: 1/0
Scoring D: 1/0
Scoring O: 0/1
Turnover Ratio: 1/0
C: 1/0

Interesting how some of these came into play:
- Extremely close game that could have gone either way in the last two minutes (Sagarin).
- Eagles dominated TOP, owned defense. Eagles bendability slipped a bit this week, giving up quick scores.
- Scoring D definitely kept the Birds in the game. 17 points is the key number.
- Eagles +2 on turnovers today.

We'll see which of these have any merit as a predictor as the season progresses... I'd like to think something systematic would be more accurate than my homerific wild-ass guesses.
