The Philadelphia Eagles must be the biggest disappointment in the NFL so far? While they aren't the only team that has started the season 0-2, the way they have lost has given Chip Kelly more reason to be concerned than his fellow 0-2 coaches. His prized running back DeMarco Murray has a total of 11 yards on 21 carries so far. As bad as things look for the Eagles, I am not ready to give up on them yet, and I'll take a shot with Philly in this "must win" game.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Jets Offense - While the Jets have looked impressive on defense, their offense is still fairly pedestrian. They rank 23rd overall averaging just 211 passing yards per game, and if they somehow find themselves playing from behind, things could start to look a lot like they did last season.
2. Eagles Pass Rush - They sacked Tony Romo three times last week, knocking him out of the game with a broken colar bone. They only got to Matt Ryan once in a Week 1 loss, but forced him into a couple of ill advised passes that led to two interceptions.
3. X-Factor - The Eagles are 6-0 in their last six versus the Jets, covering the spread in five of those games.
Selection: This is a play on the Philadelphia Eagles (7*)
