Pittsburgh Steelers vs Jacksonville Jaguars
These are two of the most physical teams in the NFL and you should look forward to a smash mouth game. Defense will be the name of the game and the game will be one by the QB who manages to move the ball in key situations. The Steelers are banged up in the back field, which will force Rothlisberger to beat the Jags through the air. The Jags win games with defense and a solid running game, and they will have to follow that game plan to win this week. Both these teams have had a tough start playing a lot of close games and being in stressful situations. This will be a low  scoring game and if you like to watch good defense this will be he game for you this week. I am concerned about the running game in Pittsburgh and I think if Jags QB David Garrard can avoid big mistakes the Jaguars will win this game. The game will be low scoring and will be won in the fourth quarter. My pick is the Jags, by maybe just a field goal.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs Denver Broncos
An NFC South match up, both team are 3- 1 and will be looking to be first in the division at weeks end. This is a game about momentum, the Bucs are coming off a big win against Green Bay while the Broncos had a surprising loss last week. Both the teams QB’s have been playing very well and they will be looked at lead there respective teams to victory this week. Denver is off to a good start, but not because of there defense who are near last in almost every category. Denver will have to be extremely better then they were last week, if they want to have a chance on Sunday. Look for the Bucs to run the ball with Graham and Dunn all day, and make Denver’s poor defense try to stop them. For Denver to win they will need a big game out of Cutler and some turnovers on defense. I am not sold on Denver and think Tampa will win this game easily. Look for Ernest Graham to have a big game, but the key for the Bucs will be whether or not Griese can take care of the ball at QB. The Buccaneers will win and take control of the NFC South for the rest of the year.

Tennessee Titans vs Baltimore Ravens
The Titans are off to a 4 -0 start and will be looking to prove to the league that they are real contenders. Baltimore is 2  – 1 and are led by one of the leagues best defenses. The Titans defense is also very good, and this game looks like it will be low scoring affair. The Titans get a lot of pressure on the QB led by Albert Haynesworth, which might mean trouble for Ravens rookie Joe Flacco. To get some pressure off Flacco look for the Ravens to run a lot and if they do throw look for short passes and bootlegs. I don’t think the Ravens will score a lot of points so the key there success will be stop the Titans on offense. The Titans will also look to run the ball a lot, but they will take some deep chances to stretch the field. I think the Titans will be 5 -0 after this week, I just don’t like Flacco playing against the Tennessee defense. There won’t be a lot of points in this one and the team that runs the ball the best will win the game.

Minnesota Vikings vs New Orleans Saints
Monday night game this week and it should be a high scoring affair. The Saints lead the league in passing yards and attempts. The Vikings defense is 17th against the pass and the Saints QB Drew Brees will look to take advantage of that. Minnesota will try and slow this game down by running the ball a lot with Adrian Peterson. Peterson should be able to have a big game, the Saints defense is 20th against the run so far. These team have contrasting styles on offense and the winner will have to figure the other one out to win. The Saints will throw the ball all over the field and Peterson will have a great day. Look for Peterson to have a fantastic day along with Brees from the Saints. My pick is the Saints to win in a shoot out, if you like offense you will like this game. If the Saints want to win they cannot allow Minnesota to have any success throwing the ball, Peterson is going to get his yards, but do not let them get big plays threw the air.

After a drought of ten seasons the Eagles return to their championship ways they had in the 1940′s by defeating the Green Bay Packers 17-13 in the NFL Championship game in 1960. After their championship win the Eagles went on their worst stretch in franchise history only having two winning seasons in the eighteen seasons. Coach Dick Vermeil once again brought winning back to the Eagles and his third season as coach the Eagles reached the playoffs but lost to the Atlanta Falcons 14-13 in the first round. The Eagles would make the playoffs from 1978-1981. In The Eagles made it to Super Bowl XV but eventually lost to the Oakland Raiders 27-10. There 1980 season ended with a 12-4 record, their best regular season ever up to that point.

From 1988 to 2006 the Eagles made the playoffs twelve times with six division titles and a Super Bowl XXXIV appearance and became one of the more consistent teams in the NFC. Also, from 2001 to 2004 the Eagles played in four NFC Championship games.

The Eagles have had their share of Hall of fame players and coaches who made their franchise successful which include defensive end Reggie White, wide receiver Tommy McDonald, Head Coach Earle “Greasy” Neale, and current quarterback Donovan McNabb. McNabb has been one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL for the last decade with over 25,000 passing yards, a five time Pro Bowl selection, and second in the Most Valuable Player award in 2000.

The Eagles play in most would consider the toughest division in football, the NFC East with the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and Washington Redskins. In winning that division would surely make the Philadelphia Eagles a favorite to win the NFC and maybe even the Super Bowl.
