2. Philly’s defense forces two turnovers.

Style points don’t matter here. Naturally, every Eagles fan would rather this be a blowout victory, but knowing these two teams, doesn’t it just feel like this one’s going to be close?

Thankfully, the Eagles’ defense is improving after seemingly taking a few weeks off here and there. Their performance versus the Dallas Cowboys was very encouraging. In this one, with Jim Schwartz looking like he’s found new life and with everything on the line for this Philadelphia Eagles team, the ITI staff is pushing all of the chips to the middle of the table here.

This will be the best one of those games where the Eagles give up a couple of big plays but do just enough to win this one. They’ll force two turnovers that will wind up being the difference.

Again, style points don’t matter, and none of us care how they do it. It can be two fumble recoveries, two interceptions, or an interception and a fumble recovery.

Just get it done guys. We need this one.
