Eagles Vs. Redskins: Are The Eagles The Team To Beat In The NFC?

Michael Vick and the Philadelphia Eagles put on an offensive show on Monday night during their 59-28 win over the Washington Redskins. Vick had a career night in which he threw for 333 yards and four touchdowns. Vick also ran for 80 yards, scoring another two touchdowns.

Vick's six total touchdowns was too much to handle for Donovan McNabb and the Redskins. This game was over on the first play of the game as Vick threw an 88-yard touchdown strike to the speedy DeSean Jackson. It was 28-0 in the first quarter and the Eagles never looked back.

The Eagles head back home in Week 11 to take on the New York Giants. This Sunday night showdown will be one of the biggest games of the year and it should be a fun one to watch. Both teams are 6-3 and first place in the NFC East is on the line.

The Giants are coming off a disappointing, sloppy loss to the last place Cowboys, so they will need to get back on track quickly if they want any shot against Vick and the Eagles. Vick has been mistake free this season as he has thrown zero interceptions, so the Giants' defense will have to step up in order to contain the MVP candidate.

Michael Vick alone makes the Eagles one of the most dangerous teams in the NFL and possibly the team to beat in the NFC. If the Eagles come out on top against the Giants, they will assert themselves as the best team in the NFC. It will be a tough task because the Giants' defensive line has the speed to possibly contain Michael Vick. Vick has shown his ability has a passer this season so even if he is kept in the pocket, he can beat you.

I expect the Giants to bounce back and play well, but the Eagles will be waiting for them. This should be a close one, with the Eagles coming out on top.

Prediction: Eagles 27, Giants 20
