Eagles

This Eagles team reminds me of the Phillies. The Phillies were 4 games behind the milwaukee brewers for the wildcard spot and 3.5 games behind the NY Mets for the division with minimal games left to play in the season. They looked dead in the water. They managed put together some winning streaks to get into the playoffs and eventually, won the world series. I'm getting that same feeling about the eagles. The eagles overcame tremendous odds to get into the post season and now i think we can go all the way. One down, three to go. The vikings are down.

The giants are next. It'll be tough but i think that they can be beaten. The Eagles have already beaten the Giants once this season and without their superstar receiver, Plaxico Burress, i see no clear advantage that the Giants have over the Eagles, having lost 3 of 5 games to end their regular season. Eagles ended their regular season winning 4 of 5. If Brian Dawkins and the rejuvenated Eagles defense play well and hold Giants' running back, Brandon Jacobs to under 60 yards total rushing, plus pressure Eli Manning into bad throws, i think the eagles can come out with a win if the offense plays a decent game. Andy Reid has committed to the run and we've seen the positive results. I think he'll stick to that philosophy throughout the playoffs.

I called it for the Phillies, and now I'm going to go out on a limb and make it two for two. The Eagles are going to the Superbowl. Again i'm hoping i didn't just jinxed the eagles!
