NFL Playoff Picks: Taking Michael Vick And The Eagles Over The Packers

The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Green Bay Packers on Sunday evening in the final game of wildcard weekend in the NFL playoffs. The Eagles are favored to win this game and, if Michael Vick plays well, that should be the case.

I said it’s hard to pick against the Eagles here because of the way Vick and Co. have played at times. On that same note, Vick has also struggled lately. He completed only 58 percent of his passes for one touchdown and one interception in a loss to the Minnesota Vikings two weeks ago and then took Week 17 off with a slight injury.

Will we see that Michael Vick? Or the one that can throw for four touchdowns and rush for two more? That’s the key question here because if Vick is on, I don’t think the Packers can stop him and the Eagles win. But if Vick isn’t on then this game leans in favor of the Packers.

I’m going to stick with the Eagles. I see them winning this game 30-23 over the Packers in Philadelphia. A combination of the home crowd and aa lack of mistakes by Vick will help them get it done.
