Philadelphia Eagles (-4) @ Detroit Lions Over/Under: 41

Kevin Kolb’s debut as Philadelphia’s new starting quarterback was a forgettable one, especially by Kolb himself when he left the game late in the first half with a concussion. Backup QB Michael Vick put on a show in the second half that not only almost won the game, but instantly created a quarterback controversy for the Eagles.

Detroit also would like to forget its opener as not only did the Lions lose their QB Mathew Stafford with a separated shoulder, they lost the game to the Bears 19-14 after an apparent game-winning touchdown reception by WR Calvin Johnson was declared incomplete when the ball touched the ground in the end zone.

In a battle of the backups, the Eagles Michael Vick gets the nod over the Lions Shawn Hill as Vick will look to add some fuel to the fire with a monster performance this week.
