the eagles won't be distracted with the "will Brian Westbrook start this game?" talk... Shady McCoy will start, and run the ball well when given the opportunity.

I was at that Chargers game, and even though the Eagles lost, it was the kickoff return-man (Maclin) not following his blockers. Macho Harris should return the kicks this sunday, and he did well when he got the chance.

Special teams and Penalties killed the Eagles last week -- here's to hoping they'll correct those problems this week.

McNabb took a while to get in the groove, but once he did, he looked great out there throwing for 450 yards. Desean was kind of quiet, and Avant has proven to have clutch hands.

Eagles will bring the pain on this poor poor Bears offense, and force some turnovers. I won't bet on this game, but I think the Birds have enough in them to get this win.

GO GANG GREEN

Go Gang Green??!! Hey titomagic, that's a J-E-T-S cheer.. I think you mean to say, "Fly, Eagles Fly", and whatever the rest of those gay ass lyrics are.. 

Look, McNabb may have thrown for 400 last week, but it was a shootout..His arm is way too inconsistent to rest the team on.. He NEEDS a run game, and McCoy is good but not that guy just yet.. History repeats itself, and in a close game, I'll take the home team getting 3.5. 

Eagles in a MUST win situation.  McNabb always plays very well in his hometown of Chicago.  Wilma McNabb makes comfort food for the whole team.

EAGLES -3

like the bears even more now.

FYI---Gang Green defense IS NOT the JETS.  That def blows.

Gang Green was Eagles def back in early 90's w/Reggie, Joyner, Simmons, Hopkins, Waters, et al.

Get it straight. 

Philadelphia - 24                     Chicago - 17

Eagles -3.5                           under 44.5

I've been getting chrushed e-pics

So the idiot that I am, I'm giving the home team 3.5 on a nationally televised game....Going against you on this one ep....I'll probably regret it....

Most may disagree, but I would take Cutler over Mcnabb, any day of the week. Cutler has the stronger arm and is more of a team player. Both of these QBs will make mistakes tonight, but I think Cutler makes fewer. Both of these teams need a win and I think the home team truly has the advantage tonight.

Without Westbrook, this philly team looks one demensional. Mccoy is good, but it will be interesting to see how well he does not necessarily with the ball in his hands, but against the blitz of the Chicago defense.

Philly's D-line is the only thing holding this defense together, but I feel like Forte will have a big night and allow Cutler to open up against this Philly secondary that is severly weakened. 

Last but not least... My book has had this line @ 4 since Tuesday. With the public absolutely pounding the Eagles, why has there been ZERO movement? (Just sayin)

Final Play... Chicago +4 ($2),  Un 46.5 ($.5), Parlay Chicago ML/Un 46.5 ($.5)

Good Luck to all!!
