Westy’s back! Merry Christmas Eagles fans! Chef Spouse may get to hear his 3 favorite words this weekend: “Westbrook breaks free!”

Wolverine will be back, too. Miss you much, baby. Too bad your team is gonna lose.

Yes, Eagles fans, we are in the middle of our annual December romp into the playoffs. If we can pull off the win over the Broncos at the Linc this Sunday (likely), and the Redskins can pull off the upset over the Cowboys (highly unlikely, as you’ll realize if you happened to see any of Monday night’s disaster), we can wrap up the NFC East. You know what’s funny? We could go 11-5 and be the #5 seed if we lose to Dallas on January 3 (quick, somebody knock on some goats or sacrifice some wood….wait….). In the meantime, 9-7 would win the West. No justice, man.

Anyway, back to this week: the Broncos started hot, at 6-0, had a bye, and have only won 2 games since then, losing to the Steelers, the Ravens, the Redskins, the Chargers, the Colts, and the Raiders, and beating only the Jets and the Chiefs. I can’t talk smack about losing to the Raiders (sigh), but I could beat the Chiefs. All by myself. And while the Chargers and Colts are clearly very good teams, the Steelers and Ravens aren’t living up to expectations this year. And the Skins? C’mon man!

What this game comes down to is that I don’t think the Broncos will be able to shut down our offense – particularly at home – and I don’t think they can score enough points to keep up with us. Fly, Eagles, fly!

Get the rest at Snarkin’ the NFL.
