Here’s where the Philadelphia Eagles may be able to attack and a prediction.

Inside The Iggles: What are the Chiefs’ biggest weaknesses on offense and defense? Where should Philly attack on both sides of the ball?

Matt Connor: The Chiefs are missing another weapon to keep defenses honest, but they hopefully addressed that with the signing of Josh Gordon. However, he needs time to get back into game shape and to get up to speed in Andy Reid’s offense, so Philly won’t have to worry about that. Blanket Tyreek Hill as best as you can and pray for the Chiefs to make mistakes trying the move the ball methodically.

As for the Chiefs’ defense, I would actually push that same agenda. The front seven is getting no real push at all and the linebackers are so bad in coverage, that any quarterback should be able to have enough time to find someone open underneath. Running the ball also works. Offenses have just moved through the Chiefs like a hot knife through butter for three weeks straight. I’d expect the Eagles to earn a few long drives on Sunday.

Inside The Iggles: What’s your prediction for how this one plays out? 

Matt Connor: At this point the Chiefs have weaknesses and the NFL’s best teams have learned how to exploit them and play opportunistic football. The results speak for themselves.

I think there’s a serious talent difference here at work and the Chiefs feel the pressure from the division already. It’s hard to imagine they don’t come into Philly focused enough to put up a pretty big win.
