So, this is my first attempt at writing an article on B/R...It took me damn near 10 minutes to find out how!
This is my prediction for the Philadelphia Eagles' 2009 campaign. Please read, and comment!
Week 1: Sept. 13 at Carolina Panthers (12-4)
The Eagles are notorious for getting off to a slow start.
Not this year.
This is a game featuring the surprise second-place finisher after the regular season and a team that limped into the playoffs but made a miraculous run.
I personally think that the Eagles are a much improved team, and I do not feel the same about Carolina. Furthermore, I think that Carolina’s season last year was fluke-ish, and I do not expect them to win the NFC South this year.
The Eagles will utilize a balanced attack, but focus more on the passing game and squeak this game out. It will be a close, but Donovan McNabb and company will not allow themselves to lose the first game of the year.
Eagles 31 Panthers 28.
Record: 1-0
