Eagles vs. Colts: Viewing Info, Predictions for 'Monday Night Football' Showdown

Two of the best teams in the NFL are set to take the prime-time stage on Monday Night Football, and it promises to be a high-flying affair.

The Philadelphia Eagles feature an explosive offense that includes Nick Foles, LeSean McCoy, Riley Cooper and Jeremy Maclin. As for their opponent, the Indianapolis Colts are led by Andrew Luck, Reggie Wayne and T.Y. Hilton.

Indianapolis comes in on the heels of a disappointing Week 1 loss to the Denver Broncos but remains a contender in the AFC. An up-and-down game against the Jacksonville Jaguars left the Eagles 1-0 but still having more to prove.

In anticipation of the Week 2 matchup, here's a look at the viewing information and a prediction for the game.

MNF Prediction

A strange week in the NFL saw several stars go down, but Monday provides a look at some of the most notable names in the league.

Wayne is one of those players following a knee injury in 2013 that ended his season after playing in just seven games. In terms of fantasy football, the veteran receiver is already looking like a star again, as Michael Fabiano of NFL.com points out:

For the Colts, Wayne has picked up right where he left off last season. He hauled in nine receptions for 98 yards against Denver but will be looking to make his first trip to the end zone on Monday night.

The other leader on the offense is Luck, who looked poised under pressure yet again in Week 1. After going down 24-0 in the first half, Luck's two passing touchdowns and one rushing TD helped the team claw back late.

Unfortunately, the huge effort wasn't enough as the Colts dropped their opener. But if Luck's recent record holds up following a loss, Indy is in line for a win on Monday night, per ESPN Monday Night:

On the Eagles side of the ball, the offense is facing a less than ideal situation with two offensive linemen in Evan Mathis and Allen Barbre out for the game. Thanks to the talent they have, though, the Eagles still have several ways to get the job done.

One of the biggest weapons for the Eagles is McCoy, who was a brute force in the opener with 115 total yards. Jon Gruden of ESPN noted the back's supreme ability, via ESPN Monday Night:

McCoy has the ability to break out at any point but will need Foles to be a more consistent quarterback. In Week 1, Foles had one interception and three fumbles against the Jaguars but balanced that out with two passing touchdowns.

The opener for Foles may have Eagles fans worried, but Gil Brandt of NFL.com notes he might be better on the road:

It might not be one of the best defensive games in Monday Night Football history, but the offense will more than make up for it. Given the two dynamic sets of weapons for both sides, the edge has to be given to the Colts at home.

Having Luck under center, a dependable receiver in Wayne and a playmaker in Hilton, Indy has the tools to take advantage of Philly. If the Colts can find ways to stop McCoy and force Foles to drop back, they can apply pressure up front to slow down the offensive attack.

In a matchup of two explosive offenses, look for the Colts to be the ones coming out on top as both teams move to 1-1 on the young season.

Prediction: Colts 27, Eagles 23
