The Lions have such a hard schedule coming up it's not even funny: Giants, Green Bay, Minnesota, Dallas, San Diego, Kansas City and Green Bay again. If they lose today and next week, win against Minnesota, lose to Dallas and San Diego, and win against Kansas City and lose to Green Bay they'll finish 8-8.

The Eagles, on the other hand, have a fairly easy schedule except for the games against New England, Dallas and the Giants.

If the Eagles win today's game against the Dolphins, lose to New England, win 2 straight against Seattle and the Giants, lose to Dallas and win 2 more games against New Orleans and Buffalo they will finish 9-7.

Keep in mind that the Eagles won against the Lions earlier this season.

A couple other points are that Jon Kitna has been sacked 37 times already, and is on pace to get sacked 65 times this season! He's already had a concussion this season and I don't think he can last the season if he keeps on getting sacked at this rate. Him and Calvin Johnson are both getting bothered by back injuries.

P.S. The Eagles are beating Miami 10-7 while the Lions are losing to the Giants 10-3.

What school do they teach you to use three question marks instead of apostrophes?

Basically, the Giants will have one of the wildcard spots locked up when they beat the Lions today. The other spot is going to be up for grabs between a couple teams, and the Eagles are the frontrunner for that spot. If they finish 8-8 (they have a good chance) and if the Lions finish 8-8 as you say, the Eagles will get the spot because they one the season series.

Probably the most consistent part of the Eagles offense is the running game. They have a stud in Brian Westbrook and one of the most underrated backup running backs in Correll Buckhalter.

Also, get your facts straight. The Eagles didn't bench McNabb, he had a minor ankle injury. AJ Feeley did an O.K. job filling in.

The Eagles look poised for a long string of wins like last season to make the playoffs.

P.S. The Eagles won 17-7 and Lions lost 16-10.

First, you can never say WILL in any sport.

Second, they will have a shot at the Giants whose #1 option at wide reciever is out (Plaxico Burress.) that would give them a chance ,if they lose to Dallas and New England, to go 9-7. Seattle is a depleted team whose Rush D is decent. Decent means Westbrook could easily run on them for 120 yards.

The Eagles are more balanced than people might think. They have a decent recieving core and a great backfield if they need to rely on their backfield for the next couple games its okay because they have a dominating back field.

Plus, Donovan McNabb isn'r out for long - he's day-to-day

Yea, I'll seriously tell you they can win 2 games against those team, I'll even go out on a limb and say 3 games.
