Cowboys targets upset win vs. Eagles

Previews Comments Off
The Dallas Cowboys hopes to upset and get their fifth win in the current National Football League season when they host the high-flying Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night.
Despite holding an inferior record of 4-8 compared to the lofty 8-4 record of the Eagles, the Cowboys is still slightly favored to win against the visitor in their game.
The Cowboys is picked to win to win over the Eagles since they have beaten the latter three times the past NFL season.
The struggling Cowboys are also on a roll these days winning three of their last four games under new coach Jason Garrett, who is starting to bring back the winning attitude to the team.
The Sunday night meeting between the Cowboys and Eagles is the first of their two meetings this year.
It can be recalled that the Eagles lost by four at home to the Cowboys in 2009, but was blown out in its first two visits to the new Cowboys Stadium.
A 24-0 rout Jan. 3 ensured that Dallas would host the teams’ NFC wild-card meeting the following week, when the Cowboys ended the Eagles’ season with a 34-14 victory.
Although the Cowboys failed to live up to its billing as the favorite to win the Super Bowl crown this year, the team hopes to end their NFL season with a bang by winning their remaining games in the NFL regular season.
To beat the visiting Eagles, the Cowboys need to have a superb offence and capitalized on its revitalized running game.
Cowboys star quarterback Jon Kitna must also play superb and orchestrate right plays for the home-team so that they can beat the tough Eagles.
Kitna must also do his best no to allow Eagles superstar quarterback Michael Vick to dominate him in their game.
If Kitna can play superb against Vick chances of victory is not remote for the Cowboys.
The visiting Eagles on the other hand can avoid an upset if Vick once again will take the lead role in the game against the struggling Cowboys.
Vick had a break-out year this NFL season as he brought the Eagles to a great record and accomplish personal accolades at the same time.
After heading into this season with a career completion percentage of 53.7, Vick has completed 63.8 percent of his passes in 2010.
His NFC-best 105.7 passer rating is exactly 30 points higher than what he put up in his last full season as a starter in 2006.
If Vick and the rest of the Eagles will not be slowed down by defense or misfortune in their game, the visitor is already assured of their ninth win in the current NFL season.
To defeat the home-team, Vick must lead the attack of the Eagles and at the same time the Eagles need to impose stone-wall defense on the Cowboys who are on a roll these days.

Previews Comments Off
The Houston Texans seeks to get its sixth victory when they visit the dangerous Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday evening in the ongoing National Football League season.
Sporting a 5-6 record compared to the 7-4 record of the Eagles, the Texans are the underdog in the game which is expected to produce fireworks and excitement due to the quest of the two teams to emerge victorious in their game.
Taking charge for the Texans in an important game against the Eagles is reliable star wide receiver Andre Johnson, who is among the league leaders with 65 receptions and 869 yards.
If the four-time Pro Bowler will once again have a stellar game there is a huge opportunity for the Texans to beat the Eagles in-front of its fans.
Although, Johnson had been a steady force for his team this year, he needs to keep his emotion under control to avoid an ejection or suspension.
In the recent 20-0 victory of the Texans over the Tennessee Titans, Johnson almost got suspended after he engaged into a fistfight cornerback Cortland Finnegan.
Due to his action, Johnson was fined $25,000.
Johnson said the incident is an unfortunate one and he already moved on to it and ready to bring victory to the Texans against the very tough Eagles.
The Eagles for its part is the favorite to win their game after the team won their last two meetings.
The Eagles are also flying high in the 2010 NFL season due to the strong performance of superstar quarterback Michael Vick.
Vick is averaging 308.0 yards through the air over his last three games and could be in line for another big day against a Texans defense which has allowed an NFL-worst 25 touchdown passes and 286.2 passing yards per game – 31st in the league.
The Eagles superstar quarterback said he will do his best to bring his team to victory and avoid a second straight loss after their recent 31-26 defeat to the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
The home-team are also on a hot-streak as they won their past three games at their lair and hope to capture another one come Thursday evening.
If Vick can once again produce a great game, there is no reason the Eagles will lose against the visiting Texans.

2010 NFC East Predictions

Previews Comments Off

Dallas Cowboys—Could take 1st place and repeat as champs (10-6)—The way the team prepares in the off-season and the way the management beef-up its roster makes the Dallas Cowboys the favorite to take first place in the division and repeat as champion.

If luck will be on the side of the Cowboys they could still make it to the playoffs as most of their talented crew are back with the team for the 2010 NFL season.

To make their offense more stronger the team was able to acquire in the NFL draft talented wide receiver Dez Bryant from Oklahoma State who is a great complementary player on seasoned wide receiver Miles Austin.

The trusted tight end of the team Jason Witten is also back in action this year which could result in an all-out passing attack against their opponents.

Taking the second best defense record in the NFL the past year as far as points per game is concerned, there is no reason they could not repeat such feat and even surpass it.

New York Giants—Close second to Cowboys (9-7)—If the New York Giants can continue its superb offence in 2009 and improve their defense this year chances are they could land second in the tight race for NFC supremacy.

Despite the departure of three of its reliable receiving threats in the 2009 NFL season the Giants still surprised the professional football league with a great offensive onslaught.

In 2009, new offensive heroes emerged from the team one of whom is wide receiver Steve Smith who was able to caught up 107 passes the past year.

However, the true recognition for the strong showing of the Giants goes to superstar quarterback Eli Manning who played his best for the team in 2009.

While their defense is a still a big question mark, new defensive coordinator Perry Fewell could prove the critics wrong by creating a superb defense game plan for the team in 2010.

The addition of defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul out of South Florida is a welcome addition since he can contribute heavily on the fierce pass rush where the Giants is known for in the NFL.

Philadelphia Eagles—Third place finish is decent enough for team (9-7)—The departure of superstar quarterback Donovan McNabb is a huge loss for the team and taking third place in their division is a decent achievement for the team and its new starting quarterback Kevin Kolb.

Without Mcnabb in its roster the Eagles will suffer big-time as far as offence is concerned since the latter had been a staple part of the offensive arsenal of the NFL team.

To salvage third place Kolb, a second round draft pick from Houston must play hard and have a break-out year as the new lead quarterback of the team.

Kolb must work hard since the countless fans of the Eagles always seeks success and would not settle for a mediocre result.

If Kolb and coach Reid wants to keep their jobs for years to come, they should collaborate masterfully to carry the Eagles to success in the next NFL season.

Washington Redskins—McNabb is no guarantee for success, 4th place finish is likely (6-10)—The acquisition of superstar quarterback Donovan McNabb will not guarantee immediate success for the Washington Redskins and ending up as fourth place in the division is very possible.

Although McNabb is a heck of a quarterback he could not immediately create an impact for the team who rely heavily to its former starting quarterback Jason Campbell.

The fact that is has a new coach in Mike Shanahan is not a great news either since he prefers a 3-4 style of play over a 4-3 on defense which do not sit well on some of the Redskins player.

To achieve success unity is a must have virtue but in the case of the team it is still far cry.

While chaos could ruin the dream of a the Redskins for a great 2010 NFL finish, chances are the team could still succeed if they find way to jell and patch things up.
