Philadelphia Eagles vs. Cincinnati Bengals
This game pits the 5-4 Philadelphia Eagles against the 1-8 Cincinnati Bengals. The Eagles will likely come out throwing the ball against a Bengals’ defense allowing 193.7 yards passing per game. Look for Donovan McNabb to have a lot of time to throw the ball in this game as the Bengals only have 9 sacks this season. The Eagles will probably throw the ball deep much more than usual in this football game. The Bengals allow 138.1 yards rushing per game and 4.2 yards per carry so Brian Westbrook and Correll Buckhalter will likely get there share of carries in this football game.
The Bengals must run the ball effectively this week to have any chance of scoring a upset. That means Cedric Benson will have to get off against a Eagles’ defense that is only allowing 103.4 yards rushing per game and 3.8 yards per carry. The Eagles will be bringing the heat against Ryan Fitzpatrick as they already have 28 sacks on the season while the Bengals have allowed 30. Fitzpatrick gets rattled when he gets hit so look for him to make some big mistakes in this football game.
PREDICTION: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES 28, CINCINNATI BENGALS 10
