Eagles

[Murdock2420]

DeSean Jackson is slowing down a little as he ages, but it is also important to note that without Alshon Jeffery, who may be back in time for Cincinnati the defense has been able to double team Jackson more with Nelson Agholor now a Raider. Their best receiving threat at the moment is Dallas Goedert who is a TE which has in years past been an issue for the Bengals and of course, they still have Zach Ertz who is a great TE.

In the running game, they have had some success as Miles Sanders averaged 4.8 yards per carry against the Rams, but like week one, they got away from the running game and went into pass mode as they fell behind.

If they get a lead and can keep it, they have a running game that can gash a defense.

The two big issues for this team seem to be Wentz is getting picked off and failing to complete passes, 58% completion rating with 2 TDs to 4 INTs. And their defense has allowed a lot of yards and they seem to be having a lot of trouble getting to the QB, with only 4 sacks in 2 games.

So, on paper, this is a game there is a chance, since our weakness of protecting the QB goes up against a weaker defensive front. However, they have a running game and if the D from week 2 shows up, it will be ugly.

Gotta give the nod to the Eagles based on coaching experience and Wentz due to get out of his rut and back into the form of what he normally produces.
