The Eagles will need to be successful in the passing game and all of the pressure is falling on the arm of Nick Foles in this one. The Cards are absolutely brutal to run against, and outside of an outstanding effort against the Giants in their last game, Shady McCoy has not looked as explosive as he has in the past. This will not be an easy matchup for him, so look for the Eagles to attempt to get the passing game going early.
As for the Cards, the Eagles defense has been up and down this year, but they have been able to create turnovers in key situations. The Cards do an excellent job of limiting turnovers, especially with Carson Palmer at the helm. Though Palmer has been an INT machine in the past, he has only one interception so far this season. He will have to keep that success going against this ball hawking Eagles defense. This will be an interesting game to watch between this battle of 5-1 squads. Could be a lot of points in this one.
EAGLES 30 – CARDINALS 27
