NFL Week 2 2009

The New Orleans Saints and Philadelphia Eagles dominated during week 1 and earned convincing wins over their opposition. These two teams will face off in what some predict may be a preview of the NFC championship game.

All eyes will be on the Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb who limped off the field with was later determined to be cracked ribs. Before he left, McNabb completed 10 of 18 passes for 79 yards with two touchdowns and 1 interception. McNabb also picked up 27 yards on four carries and scored one rushing touchdowns. Though McNabb is not ruled out, there is no certainty that he will be somewhat productive if he does play.

The big match up in this game will be between the Saints offensive line and the Eagles pass rush. We know if Saints quarterback Drew Brees has time, he will find someone to throw the ball too. The Eagles will need to bring the pressure and keep it up for success. The Eagles defense was able to produce five sacks before the Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme was pulled from the game with five interceptions.

Keep an eye on Reggie Bush"s performance during this game against the Eagles. He will need to do a better job of holding onto the ball if the Saints are going to win. Remember, the Eagles have already scored one defensive touchdown when they returned a fumble against the Panthers.

In the end the Saints offense is going to be too much for the Eagles to handle, especially if they are without their leader, McNabb. The Saints will continue to march on go into week 3 of the NFL with a 2 - 0 record.

Prediction - New Orleans 31, Philadelphia 10
