This should be a 7ish point spread, IMO.
As for your bolded statements, keep in mind those numbers are from a different team. Without McNabb and Owens, this team is still capable, but they are not the same team that they were when they went 4-1 at home.
The home wins, btw were: SF (big deal), Oakland (by 3 points), Chargers (they completely shut down LT), and the Packers (barely won, and big deal - it's the Packers).
Here's a better stat for you, IMO: Including last week's come from behind win over the Packers, the Eagles are 1-4 in their last 5 games.
They just aren't the team they were last year, or even early this year, for that matter.
