Eagles vs. Falcons: TV Schedule, Live Streaming, Radio, Game Time and More

The Philadelphia Eagles showed they are as good as advertised in Week 1, but the glaring weaknesses that everyone said would be there did rear their ugly heads.

For the Atlanta Falcons, they were handed one of the worst beatings they had ever faced, and the predictions of them winning the NFC don’t look so stellar anymore.

This matchup will be a great measuring stick for both teams, and a possible playoff matchup if both teams can iron out their issues.

What's at Stake?

For the Atlanta Falcons, the Week 1 loss to Chicago coupled with a Week 2 loss against Philadelphia would mean the team starts 0-2 and lost to the cream of the NFC crop.

Philadelphia needs this win to vindicate all of the offseason spending and gauge itself against what was thought to be the best team in the NFC.

Fantasy: Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Sleeper

Start 'Em: LeSean McCoy, Eagles

As shown by the fantastic game he had last week, Shady McCoy has become an elite back in the NFL, and he will run all over a Falcons defense that got abused by Bears RB Matt Forte.

Sit 'Em: Roddy White, Falcons

It is a complete no-no to bench a player as good as Roddy White, but this week he will be matched up with Nnamdi Asomugha, and White will give you little to no points.

Sleeper: Julio Jones, Falcons

While Roddy White will be stifled, rookie wide receiver Julio Jones will have free reign over a mediocre linebacker group, and he will feast on the middle of the field all game long.

What They're Saying

Eagles’ offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg told the Philadelphia Inquirer about his desire to get the ball to their stellar wideouts:

"

He was, by play, the No. 1 [target] more than you would think with one catch. The ball went in some other ways. And then it's my responsibility getting him the ball just a little more. He's too good a player to have one catch.

"

Falcons’ offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey told the Atlanta Journal Constitution about the way he attacked the Bears game in Week 1:

"

I don’t know what that means. When they’ve got guys down there and they are taking away the deep ball; you throw it underneath. You can force it down there and turn the ball over more possibly; which we obviously don’t want to do. There were a number of times where we tried to get the ball deep, but that’s Tampa-2. That’s the scheme of things and that’s probably the most check downs that I can remember that I’ve ever been involved with.

"

Eagles Player to Watch: Michael Vick

The Philadelphia Eagles are driven by Michael Vick and they go as he goes, but it won’t be that easy for Vick against a Falcons team that is feeling like their back is against the wall. The Birds need Vick to be smarter in the pocket for them to have the success they need to beat a solid team.

Falcons Player to Watch: Matt Ryan

Matt Ryan played like garbage against the Chicago Bears and will be looking for serious redemption on a NFC foe that is favored to be a Super Bowl contender. Ryan will have a hard time against a stellar Eagles secondary, so expect a ton of short passes.

Key Matchup: Falcons’ Defensive Line vs. Eagles’ Offensive Line

The Philadelphia Eagles' biggest weakness is their offensive line, and if they can’t fix the issues that are costing them big with constant hits on Michael Vick, they will lose their $100 million man to injuries. The Falcons revamped their defensive line, and the Eagles should be shaking in their boots for this matchup.

Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles 24, Atlanta Falcons 16
