The Eagles have been an offensive machine so far this season, averaging 436 yards per game and 28.7 points.  The Packers have been hot on offense the last two games averaging 32.5 points.

Look for the Packers to attempt to run the ball with Ahman Green (215 yards)  and throw short passes.  The Eagles already have 16 sacks, so Favre will have to be careful and not panic.  WRs Donald Driver (269 yards) and Greg Jennings (173 yards) could have huge games if the offensive line gives Favre time to throw the ball.

The Eagles will try to utilize Brian Westbrook (256 yds. rushing, 164 yds receiving) against the Packers LBs who have played the run tough so far this season.  Donovan McNabb (960 yards) should have a great game against a porous Packers secondary that allows 301 yards passing per game.

I look for the Eagles to win a high-scoring, entertaining football game.

All I want to say is that by drafting A.J. Hawk, LB #50, is a very good start to building a better defense! Now to start looking at some more present Ohio State players, hmmm? Sorry, I’m partial to the Buckeyes.

The Packers won an offensive shootout as Brett Favre is looking like the younger versions of himself.  Favre completed 25 of 36 passes for 340 yards with 3 TDs and no INT.  RB Ahman Green had a good game for someone who’s hurtin a little bit.  Green ran the ball 22 times for 63 yards (2.9 ypc) and caught 8 passes for 68 yards and a TD.  Rookie WR Greg Jennings had a huge game catching 3 passes for 101 yards and a TD.  Donald Driver caught 3 passes for 20 yards and a TD.

The defense had a rough time holding the Lions down.  The Lions ran for 105 yards on 23 carries (4.6 ypc) and completed 25 of 40 passes for 319 net yards thru the air.  S Marquand Manuel had a huge game with 7 tackles and an interception that he returned 29 yards for a TD.  LBs AJ Hawk and Nick Barnett both had 9 tackles.

With the defense playing like they are, Brett Favre and the offense will have to continue putting up huge numbers to outscore the opposition.

You can’t blame DE Aaron Kampman for that. Kampman is playing like a man possessed as he already has 4 sacks in the first two games. Kitna is the next victim on Sunday.

This is a very interesting match-up despite the fact that both teams are 0-2.  Both of these teams have trouble running the ball, but are good at throwing it.

Look for the Packers to attack the Lions secondary immediately.  Opposing teams have a QB rating of 125.9 against the Lions!  Favre will attack the Lions with Donald Driver (249 yards) and rookie Greg Jennings.  After the Packers establish the passing game, look for Ahman Green to start carrying the football.  The Lions’ run defense has been very good, allowing only 90 yards rushing per game and 3.0 yards per carry.

The Packers have an effective run defense, but the Lions don’t run much so it won’t matter anyhow.  The Lions’ will throw alot of short passes to slow the Packers pass rush.  WR Roy Williams could have a huge game against the Packers’ secondary that hasn’t shown much resistance to the opposition.  Packers’ opponents have completed 66.2% of their passes and have compiled a QB rating of 97.1.

Unlike most, I think this will be a high-scoring game because of the weak pass defenses both teams employ.  Whichever QB plays better…Brett Favre or Jon Kitna….will be the QB on the winning team in this football game.
