These two teams go into Sunday’s game with different agendas.  The Dolphins just want to win a game while the Eagles are looking to win their second game in a row for the first time this season.  The Dolphins are going to throw rookie QB John Beck into the fire and start him in Philly.  With that in mind, the Dolphins will likely try to keep the ball on the ground with Jesse Chatman who is averaging 5.1 ypc this season.  It’s too bad that the Dolphins WR corps has stunk it up this season because the Eagles can be passed on as they allow 222.1 yards per game thru the air.

The Dolphins will be in big trouble this weekend because they don’t have a linebacker that can stop Brian Westbrook in both the running and passing game.  Look for Donovan McNabb to play well again this week after his 4-TD passing game last weekend against the Redskins.  The Dolphins secondary pales in comparison to what the Redskins had.

PREDICTION:  This is a tough place for a rookie QB to make his first start.  PREDICTION:  EAGLES 28, DOLPHINS 10

Both of these teams are desperate for a victory as the Eagles are 1-3 while the Jets are 1-4.  Donovan McNabb is still trying to get into his groove as something appears to be missing from his game.  Chad Pennington of the Jets is still trying to fight off Kellen Clemens for his starting job.

The Eagles will be getting RB Brian Westbrook back this week from injury and that should scare the Jets who are allowing 127.6 yards rushing per game and 4.0 yards per carry.  Westbrook is averaging 171.3 yards rushing and receiving per game and 7.3 yards per touch so far this season and he will be a major pain in the side of the Jets Front 7 on defense.  The Jets only have 3 sacks this season so McNabb should have time to throw against a Jets defense that is allowing 239.6 yards passing per game.  Look for both Kevin Curtis (19 rec, 323 yards, 3 TDs) and Reggie Brown (8 rec, 81 yards) to have good games against the Jets.

The Eagles blitz from all angles and that will cause the Jets problems.  The Jets have allowed 12 sacks this season while the Eagles already have 16 sacks in only 4 games.  DE Trent Cole (5 sacks) will get to have body contact with Chad Pennington early and often in this game.  The only way to slow the pass rush of the Eagles is to run the football so the Jets will attempt to run the football with Thomas Jones (290 yards rushing, 3.3 ypc) against the rugged run defense of the Eagles which is allowing only 74.5 yards rushing per game and 3.4 yards per carry.  The Jets must keep the passing game short to Laveranues Coles (32 rec, 300 yards, 4 TDs) and Jerricho Cotchery (30 rec, 414 yards) because they likely won’t have much time to throw the ball.

PREDICTION:  The matchups spell doom for the Jets in this game.  Look for the Eagles to win this game as the fans start yelling for Kellen Clemens before halftime.

The Eagles and Giants both got much needed wins last week and they clash on Sunday Night in an important game in New Jersey.  The Eagles exploded for 56 points last week while the Giants won with a goal line stand to achieve victory. 

Donovan McNabb turned back the critics last week as he exploded with a perfect game (158.3 QB Rating) and he must be licking his chops watching game film of the Giants defense which is allowing 266.3 yards passing per game and opposing QBs have a 108.9 QB Rating!  The most important thing for the Eagles is the health of running back Brian Westbrook who has 514 yards combined rushing and receiving this season with 3 TDs!  Westbrook is a total mis-match for the outside linebackers of the Giants’ defense.  WR Kevin Curtis caught 11 passes for 221 yards last week with 3 TD receptions and McNabb will likely throw to him a lot again this week against the weak cornerbacks of the Giants.  WR Reggie Brown has been really quiet this season (5 rec, 64 yards) but he could be the secret weapon in this football game for the Eagles offense.

The Giants have been pretty good on offense this season and they will pose a big test for the defense of the Eagles.  Eli Manning has been playing with a sore right shoulder this season but he has thrown for 755 yards with 6 TD passes so far.  The Eagles are allowing 256.3 yards passing per game so the Giants will likely be throwing quite a bit in this ball game.  The Eagles do blitz from all angles and they have 14 sacks already this season and Manning tends to hurry the ball out of his hand when he gets hit a few times.  The Eagles have been outstanding against the run as they are only allowing 71.7 yards rushing per game and 3.5 yards per carry.  With that in mind the Giants will likely not run the ball too much this week.  With Derrick Ward (273 yards rushing, 5.1 ypc) hurting the Giants might have to turn to Reuben Droughns as the main runner against the Eagles.

PREDICTION:  This will be a very high scoring football game but in the end I think the Eagles will be able to stop the Giants a few times and win this football game.
