Are the Hard-Luck Eagles the New Team of Destiny?
So much for the Packers being the Team of Destiny, the team with a rabbit's foot and horseshoe wedged in their butts.
Philadelphia, with consecutive losses in the NFC title game, head back to the showdown, hosting Carolina Sunday with a third shot at the Super Bowl game.
With Donovan McNabb's performance last week, it's hard to imagine the Panthers - with a feel-good story of their own after being 1-15 two years ago - eing able to stop them.
Carolina looks to follow up last game's win at New York with another Sunday when they visit the Eagles.
Carolina brings a 11-5 overall mark (5-1 in the division) into this game vs. a Philadelphia team carrying a 12-4 Record.
The Eagles are favored, opening as 5-point chalk, with an opening total of 38. They are 11-5 ATS this season and 11-4-1 OU. The Panthers are 6-10 ATS and are 8-7-1 OU.
The Panthers come off a 37-24 win against New York, a game where they were a 5-point favorites. The game went over the closing total of 34.5.
Meanwhile, at FedEx Field, the favorite Eagles were winning against Washington 31-7. The game was a Philadelphia cover and an under play.
Some trends to consider:
Carolina are 1-4-0 ATS in their last 5 games after scoring 21 to 30 points
Carolina are 6-20-0 SU in their last 26 games after scoring 21 to 30 points
Carolina are 3-6-0 SU in their last 9 games after being 7.5 to 10 point underdogs
Carolina are 2-4-0 ATS in their last 6 away games

I think the Eagles are very overrated and Carolina will run all over them. Carolina straight up!
Did anyone see that 50 yard pass last week by McNabb to Pinkston in the first quarter. I can't believe that wasn't challenged. By the time Pinkston had control of the ball his second foot was out of bounds. Oh well.

1. Philly's been there before...this is new to Carolina.
2. McNabb is a better QB than Delhomme.
3. Staley and Buck will have a great day running on a Carolina D Line that is built for the pass rush. Ask the Packers about 9 yards a carry Staley.
4. Carolina's secondary is not as good as Green Bay's...and McNabb torched GB. Pinkston, Thrash, Lewis, Smith, Mitchell and the backs will get open and make plays.
5. Eagles were in the red zone 5 times against Carolina in Carolina. They will be in the red zone more than that at home.
6. They have no answer for McNabb's scrambling.
7. Troy Vincent feels very, very good and can cover ANY of the Carolian wideouts one-on-one. The defense will have a field day blitzing the Panthers.
8. Stephen Davis is questionable. Even if he plays he will not be 100 percent. Davis and Foster combined don't have the talent of Ahman Green. Green got his yards but was kept out of the end zone. Expect more of the same.
9. The Eagles defense was worse off in the win at Carolina than they are now. Taylor struggled in his first game back after missing the previous 5 and 9 of the previous 10. He will not struggle Sunday with his partner in crime back in the secondary.
10. Davis ran for 115 yds on 23 carries against the Birds. But when it counted Davis was stopped (4th and 1 at the 8 yard line right at the end of the first half). Eagles defense will continue to play that way...bend but don't break.
11. Dawkins is healthy. Enough said.

14. David Akers will outkick Kasay any day of the week.
15. Nobody has ever hosted back-to-back conference championship games and lost them both.
And on..and on...and on it goes.

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but I don't want to see anyone lose money.
Defense wins championships. Which team has the best one?
Ask yourself this question. If carolina can stop the running game and contain McNabb with their front 4 or 5 can Philadelphia win with McNabb throwing from the pocket?
If you think McNabb can win with the passing from the pocket then bet Philly.
If you think he can't bet carolina. It's that simple.
John Fox will stop the run and keep McNabb in the pocket. Will McNabb be the HERO or the GOAT? I don't want to GLOAT but I know the answer
I hope you get it too
