Here is what Ed says: Look for big plays from Michael Vick from the Wildcat. There is a 25% chance that Michael Vick will be playing QB by midway through the third quarter.
Here is what the "experts" say:
The Chiefs dropped a 13-10 decision to the Raiders at home in Week 2 and have now lost six straight games dating to last season. Kansas City is now 2-25 in its last 27 games overall (since November 4, 2007).
This contest marks Kansas City's first of four straight games vs. NFC East squads. The Chiefs are 2-5 vs. the NFC East since 1999 with both victories coming against the Redskins and they haven't defeated the Eagles since 1998 (0-2 since).
With Donovan McNabb inactive, Philadelphia lost, 48-22, to the Saints last weekend. The last time the Eagles gave up more points in a single game was October 30, 2005 in a 49-21 loss to the Broncos.
Kevin Kolb threw for 391 yards in the Eagles' Week 2 loss to New Orleans — the most by any quarterback making his first career start since 1950. Donovan McNabb (464 yards on 12/5/04 vs. GB) is the last Philadelphia QB to throw for more yards than Kolb did last Sunday.
Matt Cassel made his first start in a Chiefs' uniform last week and threw for 241 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Cassel is now 10-6 in his career as a starter and this will be his first start vs. the Eagles.
Kansas City has scored half of its 2009 points in the fourth quarter (17) - however, the Chiefs have already allowed 28 fourth-quarter points this season — most in the league.
The Eagles' leading receiver with 14 catches in 2009, Brent Celek had a career-high eight receptions last week vs. the Saints and with 104 yards, recorded his second career 100-yard receiving game as well.
With 52 yards on the ground in Week 2, Brian Westbrook is the only player in the league to garner 5,000+ rush yards and 3,000+ receiving yards since the beginning of 2004.
