Baltimore 20 Cleveland 10
Eagles ?pick?The Eagles are coming off of an emotional OT loss to the Giants in a game in which they led and dominated for the first 3.5 quarters?this week they will be facing a Niners team that is coming off of a minor home upset of the Rams last week and a team that is improving but is not ready pull a BIG upset at this time?the Niners dodged a bullet last week by being able to run the football against a poor Rams run defense with Frank Gore and limit Alex Smith to just 22 passes?this was a key to the Niners win because the Niners offensive line was and is banged up and QB Smith would have been a sitting duck had he been forced into obvious passing situations?this week the Niners won?t be so fortunate as they face an Eagles team that is one of the leagues BEST units against the run allowing the Texans just 70 yds in week one?the Giants to just 86 last week and if you can recall all the way back to last year they stuffed L.Tomlinson at home and held him to single digits in Philly?what this will do is force the Niners to air it out especially if they are behind which I expect?the Eagles lost DE Kearse for the season with a knee but they won?t miss a beat with DE McDougle stepping in?oh by the way they sacked Eli Manning 8 times last week!...on the flip side I expect the Eagles and Donovan McNabb to exploit a weak Niners secondary and put points on the board?the Eagles beat the Niners last year in 2005 42-3 at home?in that game Mr. McNabb threw for 443 yards in the air and had 5 TD passes?the Eagles dominated the Niners last season in a colossal mismatch in which they had 583 total yards to the Niners 142 and controlled the ball 37:57 to the Eagles 22:03?the game is all about matchups and I like the Eagles offense to exploit the Niners secondary and the Niners banged up O-Line (OG Larry Allen is OUT and OT Jonas Jennings is Questionable at this time) will be vulnerable against the type of Defensive scheme that Eagles DC Jimmy Johnson will present to the team this week?the Eagles secondary is a bit banged up (waiting on official injury report) but I expect DC Jonson to compensate for that?An angry Eagles team bounces back this week.
