Prediction

So the Sports Guy clearly hates the Eagles (see 10 reasons why Cards will beat Eagles).

But why is he and alot of every other people so enamored with the formerly no account Cards? Why isn't the Eagles 3rd ranked defense - which absolutely shut down the Cowboys, Vikings, and Giants - not getting any respect?

Why is Kurt Warner getting props as a comeback player but Donovan McNabb is being overlooked?

Why is the Eagles ability to score against the Vikings and Giants defenses being discounted and the Cards ability to beat a rookie quarterback making his first start on the road and Jake Delhomme's 5 turnovers being made into a world dominating defense?

Admittedly, the Eagles have not traditionally played well in Arizona. But I'm almost happy that Anquan Boldin is going to try to gut out a hammie tomorrow. Please, by all means. Dress and play and perform at 70%. Please. It will make the Larry Fitzgerald double teams that much more effective.

The Eagles are going to #1 with a bullet as Dick Clark might say.

And much like McNabb's coming out against his hometown Bears in a divisional playoff in the Windy City seven (eight?) years ago, i expect a similarly stellar performance for his winter home neighbors tomorrow.

Eagles 27
Cardinals 13
