Pilfo's Parlay Week 4
October 1st 2010 - Pilfo             

San Diego - 8 / Philly - 6 / Chicago +4

The Arizona Cardinals are a very very bad team. Oakland moved the ball up and down the field on them and Arizona got very lucky to escape with the win. Arizona squeaked out wins against the Rams and Raiders and got murdered by Atlanta. The Cardinals are a lower echelon team in the NFL and when a lower echelon team meets a middle to higher echelon team it is usually a lopsided game. The Chargers are a top 10 team working out the kinks in their offense and defense like they always do early in the season. The Chargers potent offense will not be able to be stopped by Arizona. The Chargers are hungry for a win and they get it.
Prediction: San Diego 38-14

The question has been debated all week. Who has the edge the coach or the player in regards to McNabb and Andy Reid. Everyone, the answer is THE COACH. The coach can change the game plan but the player can't change who he is especially when his offensive line can't protect him. Look for the Eagles to score early and often both on offense and defense in this one. The skins peaked after playing 1.75 games this year. Vick-tory goes to the Eagles.
Prediction: Philly 34-17

The Bears 3-0? I'm as surprised as anyone is but the Bears have been winning with a defense that has played well and with a passing attack that has been able to get around the weak offensive line. Cutler keeps plays alive with his movement. Devin Hester? Is he back to his old form? We will see. The Giants have not played as a unit this year and the defense is on vacation. Eli is making poor decisions but at least Jacobs' helmet didn't end up in the stands last week. I expect both teams to show up on prime time and for this to be a great game but 4 points is way too much. I had the Giants as a 1.5 point favorite.
Prediction: Bears 27-24
