Wow way to go Eagles… What a terrible assessment thinking they would come out strong off the bye like they had the 13 previous years under Andy Reid. I guess all trends that are to good to be true do come to an end. This drops the record back down to:We focus on the MNF game for tonight’s selection. Which will be UNDER 39 -108 SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS/ARIZONA CARDINALSTo say the Cardinals offense is atrocious is nothing but an understatement. They are woeful ranking 31st in overall offense and 27th in PPG at just a shade over 17. The worst thing in store for them is having to go up against the 49ers defense which is the most physical and dominating in the NFL. With an atrocious offensive line limited play making ability from either QB and down to their 4th string running back this team simply cannot score. I would be shocked if they put up more then 19 points this game something that has only happened three times this season. As crazy as it sounds they don’t want to get into a shootout with the 49ers because they have far more offensive ability then them. In order to have a chance at winning this game it will require a low scoring game which is the style of play Whisenhunt will try to have his team play.As for the 49ers their offense has really struggled the past two weeks after having their outburst earlier in the year. Alex Smith has come back down to earth and has shown he’s only capable of playing great against bad defenses. Something that the Cards clearly are not ranking 4th overall in PPG allowed at just under 17 and 7th overall. The only real weakness they have is against the run at times this year ranking 20th overall. Since there pass D is outstanding 4h overall and Smith really struggling it will force the 49ers to rely on the ground game to move the chains and score which always means tick tock the clock don’t stop.Overall only 1 game has gone over the posted total of 38 for the Cardinals this year that even required overtime just to get there. 2 of out of the 3 road games the 49ers have played this year have stayed under this total. Both of these teams are far superior on the defensive side of the ball and will play extremely conservative doing whatever they can to play field the field position game and not make crucial mistakes. Even if they move the ball effectively look for red zone problems to come up settling for a lot of field goals. This division rivalry game has 14-10 or somewhere in that range written all over it.

Blame Reid in 30-17 loss to Falcons at wet Lincoln Financial Field
It’s funny: I am not angry over the 30-17 loss the Eagles suffered to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday.
