2010 NFL Wild Card Game: Packers at Eagles

Location: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia
Time: 4:30 pm
Road Team: Green Bay Packers
Home Team: 2010 NFC East Champions Philadelphia Eagles
W-L Records: Packers 10-6, Eagles 10-6
Avg Points Scored: Packers 24.3, Eagles 27.4
Avg Points Allowed: Packers 15, Eagles 23.6

How the Packers will win: While the Eagles score a ton of points, they also give up a ton of points so it should be no problem for Aaron Rodgers to run the Green Bay offense. Defensively, the Packers defense needs to keep itself composed in guarding against Michael Vick. As we all know, one minor slip up and Vick is gone. Look for Charles Woodson to be used in the slot to blitz Vick and give him different looks.

How the Eagles will win: The Eagles defense is not stopping Aaron Rodgers so its up to Michael Vick to put up points against the Packers vaunted defense. Vick will need to use a good combination of the passing and running (both himself and the running backs) to keep the Packers defense on their heels.

The Pick: Eagles 30, Packers 24 Everything points to a Packers win but I think Michael Vick adds at least one more story book moment to his memorable season.
