The Eagles have
- scored more points and allowed less
- more 1st downs
- a better conversion rate on 4th down
- less fumbles and less interceptions
- less rushing plays than Carolina, but have gained more yards
- Mcnabb, whose stats outstip all Carolina QB's... more yards, more TD's, better completion rate.
by the stats, it is actually quite lop-sided in favor of the bEagles.
Of course all that means nothing until one team actually steps up and owns the other. We'll see in a few hours, but as for pre-game talking about why so-and-so will win/lose, you best be looking at the stats before saying anyone is "overrated".

these games will be close no doubt, i called Philly to beat Packers last week and barely did, i feel Philly's lack of D against the run game may be there downfall.
Mcnabb ran 100+ yards himelf against Green Bay last week, the panthers D will not allow that i can tell you.
