They are a scrappy team that really played well the second half of last year.  They always play pretty hard despite their deficiency at QB.  The Eagles are much luckier to be 2-0 than they are...

This is a tough week.  So many games could go either way... I don't feel comfortable with quite a few of these picks.

It's more that the Eagles are bad and lucked out twice. Vick isn't Tebow, so he won't be able to keep this up.

Exactly, no way he'll keep up all these turnovers.

Yeah, the Eagles are lucky to have won both of those games really.  They looked horrible against the Browns but dominated Ravens - neither of those games should've been nearly as close as they were though.  Eagles killed themselves in both game by turning the ball over at the most inopportune times and it nearly cost them.  No way that's gonna happen a third week in a row though.

I don't know about that, Ken.  The Eagles looked pretty bad most of last year.  Maybe it wasn't a mirage.  But I will defer to your expertise for now since you are currently leading the league.  For now... :p

Nah, Eagles were bad last year (save for the final four games). Thankfully Juan Castillo seems to have a handle on things now. We're still turning the ball over though >_< but the defense has bailed us out.

But I can't see them losing to the Cards, they're not the real deal. Neither are the Iggles but they're certainly closer to that real 'deal threshold' than the Cards are. Plus, Iggles are due for a clean game.

We shall see.  This is actually one of the games that I am looking forward to watching the most for all the reasons that we have debated.

Giving points to the top 5 would make it funner to check the standings on a more regular basis.
