The Eagles will run over a poor Vikings team who somehow found it's way into the playoffs.

Maybe not run over, but definitly pass over. Philly, by a fair margin.

Go Eagles!!

They're playing their best football at the perfect time, are rolling and I expect them to beat the Vikings by two scores.

Plus it's Brad Childress, come on.

I wouldn't call a team with the best rush D in the league and the best runner in the league poor. Philly will win though, unfortunately for Minnesota, the Eagles don't run a whole lot and the Vikings dont stop the pass too well.

I think the Eagles will win this game. You have to give credit to the Vikings defensive line. It's going to be tough for the Eagles to run the ball.

It brings me great joy to see the Cowboys sitting home. Glad the Eagles pulled of the win today.

muahuhahahahahahhahahahaha

I think is a tough match up for the Vikings. The Eagles have put up some stinkers tho as well and lost/tied to teams they had no business doing that with. However with that said I have to take the Eagles. I think the emotional win over the Cowboys will vault them in a win against the Vikings. As somebody mentioned tho, don't overlook Purple Jesus.

Eagles 31 Vikings 21

If Pat Williams is healthy and Peterson holds on to the ball, the Vikings can play with anyone in the NFC. Of course those are two pretty big ifs right now.

vikes need to get after mcnabb, hope TJax can handle the blitz better than he did in the giants game and give the ball to AP A LOT

and hope he doesn't fumble

GO VIKINGS

Eagles cruise in this one.

Eagles have been so inconsistent with wins over the Giants, Cowboys, Cardinals and then they go and lose to Washington and tie Cincinatti. I would expect that since it is a playoff game they will be ready so I'm taking them in semi-blowout win.

Eagles 27
Vikings 14

This game is all Eagles, whoever is starting at QB for the Vikings is going to be harrased and confused by the defense Philly uses.

Post #16 » by **HMFFL** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 6:07 am

Philly favored to win by 3 points. O/U 42.

Mr Awesome · Post #17 » by **Mr Awesome** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 3:02 pm

In that case, Philly and the over. 31-13

Post #18 » by **Worm Guts** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 4:07 pm

The Vikings aren't losing 31-13 at home unless Adrian Peterson dies or something.

Mr Awesome · Post #19 » by **Mr Awesome** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 4:43 pm

No, if AP dies, they lose 31-0.

hermes · Post #20 » by **hermes** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 4:48 pm

the vikings defense isn't that bad, the additions of jared allen and madieu williams have improved the pass d considerably

and the vikes pass rush, is significantly better at home

Who wins?
