The Eagles' season is on the line Sunday in Dallas.
Yes, I know they have already made the playoffs. But win and they not only take the NFC East crown, but they also get a week off and home field for the first game of the playoffs, and in fact home field advantage against everyone but the Saints.
I just don't think it's going to happen.
The Eagles and Cowboys have been the two best teams in the NFC, if not the NFL, for the past month. Both have been red-hot.
Tony Romo and the Cowboys seem to have gotten past their problems with the month of December. Now they face a crucial test in January.
For the Eagles, once again this game will ride very much on the shoulders of Donovan McNabb. The Eagles QB has played in plenty of big games. ThIs is another one. And it's one in which the Eagles can't afford for him to be less than at the top of his game.
Last week McNabb was on fire in the first half against the Broncos, then seemed to flip a switch at halftime and struggled for most of the second half.
The Eagles' spotty defense will likely have its hands full with the Dallas offense. If the Eagles are going to win this one, they likely will have to outscore the 'Boys.
I don't see it happening. Wild Card, here we come.
Make it Cowboys 26, Eagles 24.
Last Week: I was on the money again with the Birds holding on to beat the Broncos. That made six straihght wins for the Birds. I initially thought they might run the table. Now I see a bump in the road.
Season Record: 11-4, Looks like the Birds will be heading back to Dallas next week for a rematch in the first round of the playoffs.
