Can we say rematch? Eagles and Falcons get a chance to replay last season's NFC Championship game tomorrow night in Monday Night Football. With the two of the best quarterbacks in the league, this game is bound to be good. Who do I think is about to win? Let's take a look at the teams individually.


Philadelphia Eagles
Looking at last season's stats, the Eagles were amazing. Donovan McNabb threw 300 completions for 3875 yards with 31 Touchdowns. Their running back, Brian Westbrook, rushed for 812 yards and had 3 touchdowns. My favorite player, the great Terrell Owens, had 1200 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns. Pretty ridiculous numbers. They have a lot of talent and their offensive is just about unstoppable. However, they do have some factors working against them in tomorrow's game. Although both players say that their conflict has been resolved, McNabb and Owens did have some preseason drama when Owens blamed their lost last year in the Super Bowl on McNabb saying he "wasn't the guy who got tired in the Super Bowl." Furthermore, Brian Westbrook isn't getting a long-term extension on his contract after signing a one-year restricted free agent offer. More importantly, McNabb has to fight off the Madden curse in this first game and hope no major injuries come out of the game. There's a lotta drama going on over there in city they call Philly.


Atlanta Falcons
With Michael Vick as their quarterback, the Atlanta Falcons are definetly one of the most entertaining teams in the NFL. Last season Vick almost rushed 1000 yards. That's almost twice the amount of yards their backup running back T.J. Duckett rushed! It's a good thing Vick can run like hell cause he really doesn't have any receivers to catch some of his crazy passes cause the Falcons cut their top receiver Peerless Price and now they've got all their money on Alge Crumpler and Dez White. Great...

My prediction? The Eagles are going to win 28-14. Although the Eagles have all that bullshit behind the scenes, they're going to win strictly based off talent. Vick is an amazing quarterback, that's undeniable, but now that Peerless Price is gone, he just doesn't have anyone to throw to. Sure, it can be argued that Price didn't do too much last year, but regardless, I highly doubt Crumpler and White can hold their own. Of course upsets can happen like today when the SF 49ers beat the St. Louis Rams 28 to 25. SF DYNASTY IS STARTING AGAIN! Watch the game tomorrow and see the Eagles fly into victory.
