The Philadelphia Eagles have had an impressive pre-season, winning all three of their games by a double-digit margin. At this point they have nothing to prove on the road in New York, and I think they are being asked to cover too many points.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Last Chance For Tebow - The only time the Eagles offense hasn't looked dangerous, is late in games when they've given Tim Tebow playing time. Most experts agree that his play so far this pre-season has only confirmed the fact that he's better at running the football than he is at throwing it. He should see more time tonight than he has in any of the previous game, and that's not good news for Philadelphia's offense.
2. Matt Flynn - As far as backup quarterbacks go, the 30 year old has done very well for himself. He still has a lot to prove if he hopes to lockup a job with the Jets, but you have to like his chances. He threw a pair of TD passes for Green Bay in a 34-14 win over the Chiefs in the final week of last year's pre-season.
3. X-Factor - The Eagles offense is getting an awful lot of attention, perhaps masking the fact that their defense hasn't been all that impressive. The Packers third and fourth string quarterbacks threw for 400 yards and three TDs in last weeks game.
Selection: This is a play on the New York Jets (10*)
