The Philadelphia Eagles are coming off a dominant performance against Cam Newton and company during "Monday Night Football," but it will be tougher sledding against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. Aaron Rodgers is superior to Mark Sanchez in every way, and that will have the cheeseheads smiling a lot at Lambeau Field. Here are five other bold predictions for this upcoming game.

Mark Sanchez will not have a butt fumble, but I would expect some interceptions in this one. Clay Matthews looked beastly at inside linebacker last week, and you can bet that the Packers will consider making it a permanent change to pressure the Sanchize.

Rodgers probably should have gone for the single-game TD record against the Chicago Bears, because that would have been pretty hilarious and resulted in Marc Trestman's immediate firing. The QB won't get as many against Philly, but four touchdowns sounds about right to me.

3. Chip Kelly Will Make This a Shootout

We all know that Chip Kelly loves running a lot of plays, but he will speed things up even more in this one and should make it quite a high-scoring affair. That is also addressed in the next slide.

Can you say fun football? This game should feature a lot of TDs through the air to go along with some long runs, mostly by LeSean McCoy, as well.

If this game were in Philly, then I would roll with Kelly and his Eagles. But Lambeau Field will be bumping for a matchup crucial to the NFC playoff race, and the Packers should take another step in the right direction with a close victory.
