Game Overview
The Philadelphia Eagles will be having a difficult task against an Oakland side that has a very strong defense line. While the two teams have not played against each other since 2009, Raiders have emerged victorious in three of the last four meetings. The Eagles coming from a 15-7 defeat by the Giants last weekend will miss the services of Michael Vick who plays an integral role in the team’s performance. Michael Vick suffered a hamstring injury and will be replaced by Nick Foles who will be making his third start two weeks after suffering a concussion against the Cowboys. Nick Foles who has six touchdowns so far, will be looking to revitalize the Eagles attack against a Raiders side that is seeking a third straight win at the Coliseum.
Oakland Raiders won against Pittsburgh last Sunday and will be relying on Darren McFadden to score against the Eagles. Raiders’ quarterback Tarelle Pryor is in good condition and his involvement in the team on November 3 is most likely to cause havoc on the Eagles defense. Pryor’s hard work in creating passes that lead to touchdowns has seen him rated as one of the best NFL players in the Raiders side. Dennis Allen, the Raiders coach is relieved to have both Pryor and McFadden fully fit for the Sunday’s encounter. A weakness in the Raiders team that could perhaps be used by the Eagles side to make a surprise win involves the fading strength on the Raiders team as the game progresses. Oakland Raiders start their matches very strongly but fade in the second half of the game, showing lack of urgency on the pitch. If Eagles can take full advantage of this situation then there might be another shocking result in the NFL this weekend with Raiders losing to an inferior Eagles side. The sudden loss of Michael Vick through a hamstring injury by the Eagles side is certain to add up to the problems facing the side that was thrashed 15-7 by the Giants the last time out.
