Prediction: Falcons 24, Eagles 21.
Giants, 8:20 p.m. (Sunday), NBC
Our take: I think the NFC East is about to be decided. Somebody will suffer a crushing defeat. The Eagles should have worked out all the kinks and be kicking into gear. The Birds aren't intimidated by the Meadowlands.
Prediction: Eagles 17, Giants 13.
Eagles, 1 p.m., Fox
Our take: If San Francisco were a decent team, this could be a trap game. The 49ers quarterback situation prevents them from being a good team. Expect the Eagles to be a little sloppy, but not sloppy enough to lose.
Prediction: Eagles 23, 49ers 14.
Eagles, 1 p.m., CBS
Our take: Fortunately, the Eagles will have the NFC East wrapped up by the time Brian Dawkins makes his emotional return to the Linc. Expect B-Dawk to receive a lot of love until he makes his first play. Oh, quarterback Kyle Orton can't play.
Prediction: Eagles 27, Broncos 17.
Dallas, 1 p.m., Fox
Our take: The Cowboys won't repeat their high-stakes collapse of last season. A playoff spot will be on the line for the 'Boys, and this time the game will be at Dallas. The Eagles already will have solidified a playoff spot. Jerry Jones' billion-dollar mega-stadium hosts its first significant victory.
Prediction: Cowboys 28, Eagles 17.
