3-3?

Andy is going to earn his paycheck this year.  Giving East teams 3-3 records I have a lot of 9-7.  Skins/Cowboys/Eagles (didn’t do Giants).

 

On the positive side – Cowboys play their presumed “easy” games at home – Texans/Titans/Lions  while the Eagles play their “easy” games on road – Niners/Texans/Saints.  That’s a huge advantage because we play Carolina and Jags at home instead of the road.  I figure thetough games on road are automatic L’s, but at home you can win (in my Eags 9-7 I gave them L’s at home vs. Carolina and Jags)

 

Falcons added John Abraham – if we’re excited about Howard then they should be equally, if not more, excited about Abraham (and his 20 sacks over the past 2 years).

 

The Offense will be the offense – they’ll put up some points in some games when it’s all clicking, they’ll struggle sometimes and more times than not it’ll get you 20-23.

 

The Defense will decide the season.  We were 27^th in the NFL in points allowed last year (2^nd in 2004).  When was the last time before last year that we got torched??  I say Colts at home (at Vet) when Vincent couldn’t stay w/ Harrison and we lost something like 35-7.  Also, Pats game in ’03 to start season 0-2.

 

Last year we got torched by Cowboys, Chiefs and Broncos – all of those were with T.O. and McNabb still playing.  I think we gave up about 130 points in those 3 games. 

 

D back to form and we win East.
