WEEK EIGHT PREDICTIONS
XENA AND TANNER CHEW ON THE WEEK’S BIG GAMEA very attractive set of match ups this week. So here we go.
Falcons @ Eagles -- This feels like a season make/break game for the Eagles. A loss adds to the chaos that swirls around Eagle land these days and could topple the Reid regime for all practical purposes. Vick also on the hot seat. This is a good test for Atlanta. They play a talented, desperate team on the road. I don't think the Falcons are a super team -- but I don't have confidence that the Eagles can play a complete game. Falcons in a mild upset.
Giants @ Cowboys - Once again I fall back on the adage that NFC East games are tough to gauge. Giants are on a mini roll, but they are still only 1-2 in their own division. Cowboys always seem to play just well enough to lose. I don't see the Giants losing twice to a division foe this early in the year - -even though Jerry Jones promised a little Giant butt-kicking.
Redskins at Steelers - This is the game I most want to watch this week. Great contrast in styles between RG3 and Big Ben. The Steeler defense showed me something in the second half in Cincy last week. Just a hunch that a young Redskin team
still learning how to win will fall a little short this week.
Saints @ Broncos - How many punts do you think we will see in this one? I doubt either punter will need to shower before that post game meal. The Saints rival Buffalo for the worst defense in the league. The Broncos D has had trouble getting off the field against quality offenses. Team that maximizes possessions by limiting turnovers will win this one. If Broncos fall behind early this one is over. I think they learned a lesson in San Diego and will not put up another zero in first half. Broncos win and defensive football takes the night off.
