Eagles will head into Minnesota to face The Vikings, after that dismal loss last sunday against the Bears. Both of these teams are 2-4 and need this win to have nay hopes at a late push to make the playoffs. Eagles who are ranked 10th in the run defense will have a lot on thier hand with rookie Adrian Peterson. Peterson is leading the league in rushing with 670 yards and 5td's on 180 carries. He has looked like the next real deal in the NFL but Eagles should be up for the challenge.
One good thing for the Eagles is the return in L J smith. The eagles have had many problems in the red zone the past few games, but The Tight End has been Mcnabb's main target in the past when they get to the red zone. Therefore look for Mcnabb and LJ to hook up in the red zone a bunch and get atleast one score.
Westbrook should have another big game, where the vikings are 27th in passing defense, so westbrook should gain many yards out of the air. I believe Westbrook will find the end zone twice in this game once through the air and once on the ground.
This is a must win game for the Eagles if they have any shot at the playoffs. There is no way they can drop to 2-5 in the division they are in. I believe they will win this one in a close hard fought battle, 17-13, improving to 3-4.
