So the team with the better record ALWAYS is favored. When you look at two teams you look at the individual matchups and general schemes. I would say TW has earned a favorable matchup against Peppers - not saying he will win every battle but he will hold his own I think. Urlacher did not practice today so I don't know their LB status, and their corners are average. That means our offense ought to have some success attacking the middle and deep parts (which Mcnabb and KS love to do). As for their offense, obviously Orakpo gives us an advantage in pass rush and if AH plays (well) he gets a push too(unless E Williams knows a secret to stopping him). The biggest threat they have is forte and he scares me a lot. If Addai can run like that up our center Forte may break rushing records.
If you look at the teams we have faced: houston, philly, indy,packers are no slouches and we have matched up well there.
