Trap game

A lot of that success came when the Eagles were down and bad during his Washington years. Including the 2018-2019 down and bad seasons. He hasn't had success when the eagles were good. That record also doesn't include playoffs, because his Vikings were favored when they got blasted by us on our way to win the SB in 2017 season.

Cousins didn’t play for the Vikings that year.

One of our two best players on defense Friday night, Blankenship, gets to play the team that ultimately signed the guy (Simmons) a bunch of Eagles fans wanted to sign to replace him.

Case Keenum was the QB then.

Crazy. I could have sworn it was Cousins. No idea why the Vikings were getting favored in that game.

Because keenum was having a great year and their defense was #1 in the league.

Partly what @Bwestbrook36 said. They had the #1 defense, but also, up until that game, Foles had looked shaky from the Raiders game, the little he played in the meaningless finale against Dallas, and he was efficient, but not great against Atlanta. The NFCCG and Super Bowl was a coming out party for Foles. Couldn't have timed it any better.

@mattwill 31-17 Eagles

Slay with a pick

Eagles should win comfortably, but I've seen games like this before be trap games.  Eagles beat Dallas in 2000 in the Pickle Juice Game, come home next week and lose to the Giants.  Chip Kelly gets big opening win on the road on MNF 2013 against the Redskins.  Eagles come home next week and lose to the Chargers.  Siri's first year Eagles score big opening win in Atlanta in 2021.  Come home and lose to Niners.

Eagles should win, but history has shown these types of games to be trap games even at home.  More so on the road.

Do you want to reduce that down to a score prediction?

Final Game Two Prediction Results

@GoEagles5921 with a prediction of Eagles 20 and Falcons 24 gets the win, with @GoEagles614 with a prediction of 17-23 and @GrahamCracker with a prediction of 16-18 getting the runners up.  A total of 90 predictions were recorded with 87 for an Eagles win and 3 for a Falcons win.  The average predicted score was Eagles 32 Falcons 18. 

Only 3 Bonus predictions were correct.
@DEagle7 with "Dotson is outside of the top 4 for receptions despite the Brown injury"
@mattwill with "Milton Williams with a sack"
@UK_EaglesFan89 with "I think Atlanta will see this as a must win (with KC next week) and I think Coupons will be better than last week"

@Hawkeye had the most schizophrenic Bonus prediction with "Eagles feed Saquon early and often"  That was spot on ... and then it wasn't.  Sirianni and Moore owe @Hawkeye a chicken dinner.

The 90 predictions were as follows:
