Since this is an "Insiders" group, I want to pick your brains about today's and Monday's games. Who is going to win? Why? What are the key match-ups, crucial injuries, or other unknown factors. I'll give you an example of what I mean. I posted a blog before the Eagles-Lions game last week. I had this sinking feeling that the Eagles would lose because of the decimated secondary. Dawkins and Sheppard were out, Considine was injured the week before. This left Brown and James as the 2 CB's with Considine and Mikell as the Safties. Not a situation you want to be in when you're facing a pass heavy team. But I also wrote the following thoughts as to how the Eagles might overcome that weakness:
However, if the front 7 can put Kitna on his back and harry him to the point where he's making bad throws, then the Eagles have a shot. Of course, McNabb will have to be much more accurate, and the run game will have to be established without Westbrook carrying a large part of the load.
I'm not playing myself off as psychic or even as a football genius. I mean even a blind nut finds a squirrel once in a while, right? But this is why I started the group, to have a group where knowledgeable people can chat about football and bring up information that would otherwise be unknown. Post your comments below if you have some ideas about a particular game and how it might go. I'm interested to see what's out there.

I was wrong about the Eagles loss, and I was also wrong about Westbrook not carrying the load. He played injured and still did great. Might do the same tonight too.
