Heading into NFL Week 11 action, the Philadelphia Eagles will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a big game for both teams. What five bold predictions can be made for the game and what should fans be on the lookout for throughout the game?
1. Mark Sanchez Puts Up Big Numbers in First Start of the Season
Due to the injury that Sam Bradford suffered last week, he will be unable to play this week against the Buccaneers. That means that Mark Sanchez will suit up for his first start of the season. He is going to come through with a big performance and will give his team a chance to come away with a huge win to remain relavent in the NFC playoff chase.
2. Jameis Winston Throws for 300+ Yards and Three Touchdowns
Philadelphia hasn't had a very consistent defense throughout this season so far and Jameis Winston is going to take advantage of that fact. Tampa Bay's offense has been looking better and better throughout the season, which is due to the development of Winston. He will have a big game this week against the Eagles and throw for 300+ yards and three touchdowns.
3. DeMarco Murray Racks Up 125+ Yards, Two Touchdowns
Tampa Bay doesn't have the best defense either, which bodes well for DeMarco Murray. Chip Kelly is going to ride his star running back this week and Murray will put up at least 125 yards and two touchdowns. He is due for a big game and that big game will be in a close to must-win situation as the Eagles look to stay in the NFC East division race.
4. Tampa Bay Forces Two Key Turnovers
Lovie Smith has always coached teams who are capable of forcing key turnovers and that will show once again this week. Philadelphia still has plenty of talent, but they also have a quarterback who is rusty. Tampa Bay will put a lot of pressure on Sanchez and will force two turnovers down the stretch of the game.
5. Philadelphia Overcomes Adversity to Pull Off a Big Win
Kelly and the Eagles are in need of a big win if they want to contend in the NFC. Tampa Bay is a talented football team, but they are not going to be able to get the job done this week. Expect to see this game come down to the wire, but the Eagles are going to get the win.
Overview
There is no question that this game could be much more entertaining than many expect. Tampa Bay may not be the best team in the nation, but they are without question a better team than they have been in quite some time. Philadelphia simply is a better team and there is no question that they are expected to get the win.
