These may fall into the zany category if you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan.

Please make no mistake about this game, the Birds absolutely have their work cut out for them, but they have the talent on this roster to win. The question remains though. Will they pull it all together? The Iggles might just be able to, especially if jobs are possibly on the line. Alrighty, now that we have covered that, let’s talk about the game.

1. The Philadelphia Eagles will have over 200 yards rushing.

The Green Bay Packers defense is well rounded, but their major weak spot on their defense has been stopping the run. With running back Miles Sanders and Boston Scott leading the charge and if somebody else can step up or Wentz totes the rock a few times (might Philly elevate Jordan Howard), Philly’s backfield can easily make the Packers’ defense pay and keep the Eagles in this game.

2. Cornerback Darius Slay will hold Davante Adams under 70 yards.

70 yards may seem like a lot to give up, but given that Adams averages over 100 yards a game, keeping quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ favorite target under 70 receiving yards would be a huge accomplishment for ‘Big Play’. It will also help give the Eagles a better chance of pulling out a win. The best part of this prediction is this, Slay has kept Adams under wraps before.
