Can't believe this is delayed. What ever happened to football being played in any weather except lightning?

It would be awesome to watch a game with 50 mile per hour winds. What's next, rain delays? NFL is changing and not for the better.

is their any real motivation for Philly to risk\play thier starters and go lights out with them being division winners?

are they in cruise controll mode for the next two games?

or is their motivation for them to play to the point of crushing the vikings by 2 td?

Waiting for Beted to offer the play here @ 12:30pm EST on Monday. I'll have to take Philly and the dog murderer with the over whenever Beted gets off their ass & posts it.

I agree that there isn't a ton of motivation for Philthydelphia, but they are hot and the Vikes are in coach firing mode.

Forecasters had called for a blizzard to hit during the game and for up to 18 inches of snow to fall in the City of Brotherly Love. But the center of the storm tracked east of the city and by the time the game would have been over, there was only about seven or eight inches on the ground. In those conditions, the game could have been played.

I wonder if there's any chance with the added two days rest that Favre plays.  I know it's just 2 more days, but at the end of an NFL season that's huge.  Just saying, it would help alot with the over.

As for Philly having motivation, this game is BIG.  The difference between a 2 seed and a 3 seed is an extra week of rest...and also needing 2 wins instead of 3 wins to get to the Superbowl.  And at this point of the year all an extra game does is beat your team up more and reduce chances of being full strength. 

In Philly's case, there is a STRONG chance if they win this and against Dallas, they will win 2nd seed.  It's VERY possible if not probable that Green Bay will beat Chicago at home next week.  Yes, Chicago will playing for 2 seed, but GB is fighting for their lives and looked great this week in despereation mode.  Bottom line, Philly will give its best effort on Tuesday, no question.

WORD !

Back door cover!!!!.....the public has a short memory, Minn looked pathetic and the eagles pulled a win out of thier ass to knock the giants out of the playoffs.

Philly has to have a emotional let down after last week, and minn cant be as bad as they were last week...that minn defense is ranked in the top ten still after last weeks smashing by the bears.

I think minn covers!!! +14 for me. Especially if peterson is playing.

cool thanks for the insight, gonna run with what my gut says, ( feed me ), actually it says eagles and the over 3 units each and making it a 2 teamer as well.
