Philly -3: Well one big thing that influenced this pick was a pretty telling statistic, the Eagles are 11-0 coming off the bye-week, under Andy Reid!! Im not one to advocate trends, but this one tells me A LOT about the HC, it tells me that he knows how to utilize his 2 weeks to get his team VERY well prepared for their opponent... This Colts team is VERY beatable and I think Reid will have an Awesome gameplan ready for this one. Running the Ball is how you beat this team and with Vick coming back and needing to be assimilated back into his role, i expect to see a lot of handing the ball of to LeSean McCoy, he should have a Monster Game, netting 150 all purpose yds!! While the Colts are losing players every week, the Eagles are getting Back Healthy, with Mike Vick BACK and DeSean Jackson BACK, they have all of their Weapons... One thing the Colts Defense does "GREAT" is Stop opposing teams TEs which can hurt Offenses who utilize their TE but Vick doesnt seem to look Celeks way that often so this "strength" wont really be a factor.... The Colts "Replacement Players" looked pretty good lastwk, not great, but good... Anthony Gonzalez, who is VERY familiar with their offense and had 50+ Yds is OUT this week with a PCL sprain/tear so no theyre 1 less WR. Tamme will need to stay in more this week to block and off-set the exotic blitze schemes that Reid fires off, and listening to the announcers, Tamme is described as a "WR playing TE" so I could see him struggling in pass-blocking. Remember, the Colts backups looked GOOD against the 30th Ranked Pass-Defense and @ Home... Now they travel into Philly, against a Notoriously Hostile environment... I expect the Colts "Replacement Players" to look like Replacements this week, NO more Home-Turf, NO "friendly crowd" and NO 30th Ranked Pass Defense!!
I plan on Elaborating on the KC Pick, Seattle Pick, and Detroit Pick....Infact, I'll elaborate on ALL games if I have the time, i just doubt I will... GL Guys!!
