Skinsfan69 is right about what these "experts" are thinking. I myself don't agree, but that's how it stacks up on paper. Thank god we actually get to PLAY the games!
As for the iggles, they will be good on D, McNabb will make some big plays, as usual. But Westbrook is the key. Stopping him is tough, no doubt, but that's the gameplan for every team the iggles play. More of a concern for them, I think, is Westbrook's durability. If he goes down, they fall off pretty dramatically. And he's been hurt quite a bit.
I'm certainly not sold on the gints. They'll win some games in their usual lack-luster way, pissing us all off as usual. But they are not sneaking up on anyone this year, and the D-line is not the same.
God I hate the cowroids.

Good analysis on the Eagles, but Westbrook's injury history is deceiving. It seems like he always has a knee problem, and he's always listed as "questionable", yet he always plays. Look up his games played in his player profile at Yahoo. The last two seasons he's played 15 games.
He doesn't get enough credit in the national media for his toughness, just as Portis doesn't get enough credit for his blocking. Westbrook is a tough cookie.
