PACKERS vs EAGLES

[icancount2one]

Not really, Jamaal Jackson won't be 100% coming off if torn ACL in December, that injury needs a lot more time than nine months to heal properly. I think interior of line is very suspect.

Jamaal Jackson at 75% is probably still an improvement over Nick Cole who is just not a very good center. The big deal is that they shipped out the huge but useless Stacy Andrews, got a starting caliber guard from the Cards who will compete with Cole at guard (which Cole plays fairly well) and Herremans should be healthy.

So like I said, the Eagles offense is much better than it looked in the preseason, especially when you factor in the freak Brent Celek TD drop and the TD that was called back on "illegal formation".

It's going to be nice to ride my home team to the bank this year. I'm sure when they start winning games they "shouldn't", they'll be "lucky" like the Jets or Saints to all the squares (not you, LT, but you know the crowd I'm talking about).

I cant wait till Kolb shows everyone how good he is in this Eagles system. Preseason is preseason.

A Rodgers throws for 3 and runs for 1 Greenbay 31 Philadelphia 20

NICE TO SEE YOU BACK SMOGS FOR ANOTHER GREAT NFL SEASON BUDDY. WISH YOU BEST OF LUCK ON UP-COMING NFL PICKS.. AND KEEP IT UNDER YOUR HAT BUDDY//LOL/LOL

[jonmic]

Packers are going to take this one easy, philly is just too inexperienced

[Fishhead]

PHILLY is my week #1 play of the week.........been touting this for 3 weeks now.

[koscheckbaby]

I think I'm gonna make a play as well on Green Bay. Kolb probably will end up good and Phillie will be better than expected. But what will that be? Will it be better than what the Packers are expected to be and likely will be? Unlikely. 3 points is very fair here.

I don't get how anyone could really love Phillie in this game. They got a lot to prove and you're not getting great odds to bet on them. And until further notice, no defense is shutting down Green Bay. The over might be a good play. Still ain't been impressed with Green Bay's number 2 ranked D, LoL.

[RageWizard]

I'm on the Pack as well. I live here in Eagle cuntry and as usual the fans and media are delusional as to how good the team is. As long as Green Bay takes care of the football and doesn't turn it over more than 1 time, they will win going away. The Eagle offense is so predictable. Watch for the dog killer to come out when the Eagles are in the red zone, but not to worry because he still hasn't learned to throw even with all of that off time in jail, and in the witness protection system last year.

Don't get me wrong, old Korn on the Kolb will be better than McNabb eventually, but not this week.

Go pack.

[jcadwell]

great analysis.. i couldn't agree more.. the packers will give us a show tomorrow! too bad i have kevin kolb on my fantasy team... im in trouble!

[Ricki Roma]

im betting on the packs to cover, they shouldnt have to much of a problem

[blueghost]

agree with LT rodgers should pick eagles D apart if they blitz it only gets worse..pack in this one

[t-wizzle]

As much as i hate to say it, I think Green Bay is the play here. I think the Eagles will hang with them, but the Pack's offense will be too much to handle. The Eagles are having some protection problems right now and Kolb is having issues recognizing blitzes.

[Fishhead]

SIX straight posters in disagreement with me after I state that PHILLY is my TOP PLAY.


Good to see

[jscott1586]

nice write up

[McBa1n]

I'm a Packer fan. Really think the Packers are highly overrated. Their O Line is old on the outside, 'serviceable' at best on the inside. Their D really isn't much to speak of other than they can generate turnovers. This game is going to come down to turnovers. I have a feeling the Eagles win this one, although it's too much of a toss up to put more than a small play on.

[k13]

It will be like when the Packers came to Arizona and Pitt and steam rolled them.

[Snowball]

Philly is going to finish last in the NFC East.

[demarino]

I'm stayin away from this one, i'll bet the over because i believe this will sure be a shootout. as far as the spread goes its too dangerous for me, it tells me vegas knows something we don't but then again, being an eagles fan and following them, i don't think this will be that close of a game. I think the packers will win this one by a touchdown or so. but i can't just pick against my birds either! but i do say the over is a safe bet.

[MR.HARRYtheHAT]

~LT PROFITS~ Nice Analysis Also>>>The Packers got great value with their first pick, Iowa OT Bryan Bulaga, who has a chance to start as a rookie at right tackle. Georgia Tech safety Morgan Burnett gives the Packers some depth at safety where Atari Bigby has had injury concerns. Mike Neal is really strong and spent five years at Purdue, starting as a defensive end and then switching to defensive tackle.

[big0mar]

The Packers OL is not very good. Rodgers will be In the ground a lot. This game is going to be close. I don't think I'll be playing this one, but if anyone thinks this line is anything but sharp, you are delusional.

[aznxangel19]

good luck with everyones picks! im eagles fan all the way! philly always!

[mncosoldier]

Watch out Green Bays offensive line is garbage

[lakerboy]

I just want all these guys on GB to lose so bad. NO offense to you Harry hat you had some great plays last year.

[msj0001]

the eagles blow now, they should've kept mcnabb

[Facepunch]

Eagles are a big Question Mark right now for me, Probably just watch this one with a slight lean to GB.

[PeePee]

LOL... That's how I always feel when someone goes gainst my picks...

[dollarbill]

Philly is going to finish last in the NFC East.

Green Bay 27-13

Reid was the man to get rid of......

Bengals 24-13

How many players from the NE championship season on the roster today?

Redskins 24-13

Who did Philly get rid of

[Hawk007]

Think I saw where GB is 0-9 at Philly....Staying off this one.

[icancount2one]

lol people vastly over-rating McNabb again, but I promised I wouldn't talk anymore smack on him so I'll leave it at that.

[Smogs]

Just two worries for me backing the Packers, the O-Line (which we all know about) and penalties. Both these teams are going to give up at least 100 yards today based on the last season.

[frankzig]

should be a game to see how the season will be for eagles

[Wrigley]

Nice breakdown Harry Im also a Packer backer today

[cadillac pete]

The Bird's are always tough at home. I think Kolb will have a nice season for a first yr starter.

[Fishhead]

EVERYONE and their pet parakeet on the EAGLES.


Again, the EAGLES are TOP PLAY this SUNDAY..........


GB will suffer with no BIGBY and no HARRIS, plus an 80% MATTHEWS


Many posters are correct here that have stated the PACK OL is troublesome.........TRACH AND CLIF are verteran tackles, but their age is showing, and their interior line is only '"servicable" at best as was said.

PHILLY 27
GB 24

[chico2663]

Eagles will TRY to blitz, but Packers have great OL and Philly has suspect secondary, so once Pack pick up the blitzers, Rodgers will have field day.

HOPEFULLY THIS ISN'T THE SAME O-LINE THAT ALLOWED ANTWAN ODOM TO GET 6 SACKS LAST YEAR. I actually believed you until you threw that line in!
