How did the Raiders beat the Eagles 2 weeks ago? Glad I didn't bet that game.
I see a 14+pt win for the Eagles and wonder what Big name coach the Skins try to get next year.

Ditka just ripped the Skins on TV.

I expect a very ugly game. An overrated Philly team going up against a team that hands the ball of a zillion times and takes pride in nailing its punts inside the 20.

I'm gonna say final score: Eagles 17 Deadskins 6

Aside from the "any given Sunday" cliché, I think there may have been equal parts of over-confidence by the Eagles, Oakland embarrassed from their play the week before, and the effects on Philly of travelling cross-country to play a game.

Despite the swine flu or temporary amnesia or whatever the heck must have happened to the Eagles against the Raiders, I'm still expecting a pretty one-sided snooze-fest tonight. I do enjoy the occasional one-sided snooze-fest, but only when it's the Pats doing the damage!

I'll give this game a shot anyway, you can't ever really say for sure, after all.

I'm tuning in for the sidelines action. Gonna either be high-drama or grade A comedy.

Should be a snoozer

On a side note, why is McNabb always so winded? Did he hire Rex Ryan as his personal trainer back in 2004 or something? It seems like ever since sb38 he's the only QB I ever see gasping for air pretty consistently in the huddle.

He wolfs down a cheesesteak on the sidelines every chance he gets. Would be out of breathe too!!

I actually think this could be a close low scoring game. Both D's are solid
