Yes, fans, it is once again Saturday, and time for the dreaded weekly Eagles pick.
A confession here. The Eagles actually surprised me last week by showing some backbone and rallying to beat the Redskins.
This week they get a bye. Actually, they play the Dolphins, which has been pretty much the same thing for most teams. The Dolphins are winless. They're getting Ricky Williams back, but he's not playing this week. You might want to look for him at some of those tailgates with a distintictive aroma wafting in the air.
The Eagles win this game and they're back to .500 and can puff out their chests for a week and talk about how "They're back" before facing the Patriots on national TV next Sunday night.
This one should be easy. The Eagles don't do anything easy.
They'll win ugly. Make it 23-16.
That puts them all even at .500 with a date at Gilette Stadium. It wil be the defining moment of their season.
I don't think it will be pretty. Enjoy this week while you can.
