Philadelphia 27
Seattle 14

Philadelphia although injured & dysfunctional is still a quality team. Their offense is head & shoulders above Seattle and have playmakers at every position. With Jackson still nursing a pectoral injury, I expect the pass rush of Philadelphia to get to him. He will get knocked down repeatedly & forced into making bad plays..

These bad decisions will end up with him throwing 1-2 INTs and even a few fumbles that create a short field for Philly. At the end of the day, Philly gets back on the winning side of the ledger.

Eagles 27
Rams 17

We have D Jackson making some big plays for Philly tonight

We have S Jackson injured/ banged up for Rams

We have T Jackson an QB for Rams.

I am sorry Mr Jackson's for Rams but Yale lose as won't make playoffs for your second year. Even tho thy made it last year at 7-9 wow. Both teams suck but Philly has a slim to none chance at playoff a slim went home cause he got sick of watching their pityful team.

Seahawks 24
Eagles 17

Vince Young and company will be traveling across country on a short week to play at the Seattle Seahawks. Century Link field is one of the loudest and more brutal home fields to play. Ask the ravens, ask the saints. On paper Philly wins in most categories Passing, rushing, pass d but those stats don't tell the whole truth. Eagles are playing with Young now, McCoy has a minor ankle injury that may slow him a little, Jackson is much maligned with the team, Reid is on the hot seat, Nandi and the secondary are banged up and both teams are out of the playoff race.
Seattle is historically stronger at home though since 2001 they haven't beaten the eagles in seattle (0-3) but have beaten them in philly (2-0). Now, however seattle is playing well as a team where philly is segmented. Seattle's marshawn lynch is running the ball effectively and Tavaris is actually playing ok. The key for seattle will be managing the eagle's pass rush. If they can do that this game is all theirs. I believe they find a way.

OK so i get to hear both teams sports radio talk shows also can read thier home town sports news all online free !

What i gather is one team that is in free fall right now totally depressed and coaches arguing on sidelines had to be sperated before breaking into a brawl ! Thats The Eagles !

When you have a team with players NOT happy due to not getting paid they create negativity in the room and play below thier capabilities on the field offense and defense and specail teams !

Seattle is a quirky team but they are good bounce back team ! Eagles are not a bounce back team as proven many times this year Road and home blowing games in 4th quater

DO NOT go by Seattle catching ravens in a trap game and other teams they caught flat as in @ NYG as far as Defenses go Seattle holds the edges as in yards per pass yards per run !

Offense wise YES Eagles but they rely on the BIG plays and thats where they lose the game Because Eagles do not play under the routes and keep going down field trust me V young is no passer

Seattle will play long drives using run game with marshawn lynch and be able to take shots down field because eagles top defenders are sitting on the bench Cromartie and Nanne A. PLUS eagles DO not have that strong pass rush they used to have simply because the D cooridinator has no clue !

Final score will be Seattle 23 Eagles 21

Uh, dude, you'll have a better chance of guessing a score if you realize that the Eagles are playing the Seahawks, not the Rams.

Each team is playing with a second string QB and are each down a starting WR (Rice for the Seahawks, Macklin for Philly). Both teams are going to rely on a good running game, and both are evenly matched as run defenders. Seattle is at home for the second week in a row, and Philly is going to have to travel cross-country on a short week. Take the rested home team against a Eagles squad that frankly looks dazed and confused.

Seattle 16, Philadelphia 13

Well that would help wouldn't it ? Ha. I was in a hurry and it totally slipped my mind. Wow. So I will just go over here in the corner and sit with my nose in it like I am in time out dude.

[countryboy7477]

Atleast I had the QB right. Haha. Tavaris Jackson

First of all I like the under because both teams will rely heavy on the run this game. Seattle will try to attack the gaps of the Dline and expose the Philly LBs and ball control is what gives them the best chance to win the game. They will pound Lynch alot in this game.

Same goes for Philly, they learned their lesson last week, I hope, and McCoy gets 25 carries this game. They use the run game to setup the pass. Alot of running helps an under.

Philly still the better team in my opinion. Seattle struggles to score and even with a backup Qb philly gets 17-20 pts in this game and it is enough.

Seattle 24
Philly 20


Philly on a short week, think this last loss was the nail in the coffin for them. They realize any chance at playoffs is completely gone, won't be up for game at all. Seattle on the other hand will be up for game, playing in front of a national TV audience (If you call NFL network that) for the 1st and only time all year. Seahawks get the home win.

There is more to the Desean Jackson contract talks that is effecting the team.
The young LB of philly missed valuable weeks of training camp, and are still playing catch-up.
Both teams are done, take the home team to play for pride
