The Eagles are little bit like the economy - in a meltdown.
Despite my picking them to win last weekend, they went belly-up in an ugly loss at home against the Redskins.
They now stand on the edge of the abyss, peering over the precipice to what could be the flaming embers of another season if they do not turn this thing around.
As they fly to San Francisco, they do so without star running back Brian Westbrook. He's not even making the trip, saying home to nurse sore ribs.
Me? I'm nursing a seriously ugly 1-4 record at this prognostication game.
Fortunately, the 49ers aren't very good. Then again, just how good the Eagles are is open to debate. A good team goes to San Francisco and takes care of business, despite playing without several stars.
Sunday might tell us how good, or bad, the Eagles really are.
It says here they struggle mightily, but still have enough to put away the 49ers.
Make it Birds, 16-13, in the pre-game warmup to Sunday's real event, Game 3 of the NLCS later Sunday night between the Phils and Dodgers.
