Those of you who checked the blog on Saturday might want to gloat.

I will once again this season attempt to pick the Eagles game each week. As I said Saturday, I will base my expertise – if you want to call it that – on a lifetime of unfulfilled Philly sports passion, along with more games than I care to remember from the 700 level of the Vet.

I was not kind to the Birds on Saturday. If my foggy memory serves me correctly, I said they would fall 19-16, and post a thoroughly mediocre 7-9 on the year.

Not exactly on the money. But don’t buy those Super Bowl tickets just yet. We’ll get a better read on this team next Monday night against the Cowboys in Dallas.

Then again, if they smoke the Cowboys, I reserve the right to take a mulligan on that 7-9 forecast.
