Eagles at Buccaneers
The Eagles take on the Buccaneers and ageless wonder, QB Brady, this weekend in Tampa. Our
computer favors the Bucs by 8 and rightly so. Most pundits agree. Bucs bring a top-scoring
offense. And a top pass D, making it hard to score enough points to beat them. Bucs pass
D ranks 6th, allowing just 5.78 yards per pass as seen here:
killer stat, defense.
So how can the Eagles stay in this game? With their league-leading rushing game. They will
need their rushing-ball control offense to be firing on all cyliders, keeping Brady on the sidelines
with long drives ending in TDs. It's a longshot, but anything is possible in the playoffs.
Eagles led the league in rushing attempts and their weekly chart is shown below.
Stronger than league average in all but a poor 4-game stretch, the Eagles can really move it on the ground.
