NFL Week 5, 2018: 20 Bold predictions to consider
By Dan Parzych
10. Eagles finally score 30+ points
First off, the Philadelphia Eagles have no one to blame other than themselves for that loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 4 since there numerous opportunities to seal the win, and the defending champions simply blew it. To top it off, an angry Minnesota Vikings team with only one win will be traveling to the City of Brotherly Love for Week 5 with revenge on their mind from what took place back in January during the NFC Championship.
While the Eagles should be in for quite the challenge, Doug Pederson will most likely look at the game film from Week 4 involving the Vikings when Jared Goff and the Los Angeles Rams absolutely torched Minnesota’s defense with five touchdowns. Matching those numbers won’t be easy, but Philadelphia seems long overdue for an explosive game on offense after seeing how things played out in the first month of action.
When looking at all of the injuries this team has been battling with for the most part, nobody should be surprised over the fact that Philadelphia has yet to break 30+ points in a single game so far. But as mentioned before, if Pederson studies what the Rams were able to accomplish, maybe the Eagles could do the same.
