Philadelphia Eagles Add Steve Smith, Surpass Green Bay as Super Bowl Favorites


you haven't figured out that the Philadelphia Eagles are pushing all the chips in for the 2011 NFL season, including the ones they've been stashing in their pockets, this might turn on the light bulb. Without question, the Philadelphia Eagles have been the unequivocal winners of the 2011 NFL free-agency period.

You know that saying, "the rich keep getting richer?" The Philadelphia Eagles just got a little richer this evening adding another Pro Bowl player to their roster with the addition of former New York Giants wide receiver Steve Smith. This time around it was on the offensive side of the ball.

Up until this point, even with all the acquisitions, trades and utter brilliance on the part of the Eagles' front office I have neglected to say they were Super Bowl favorites. In my opinion, they were the third best team in the NFC behind the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints.

The New Orleans Saints have gone under the radar nationally, for the most part, with the outstanding business they have conducted since the new CBA has been instated. So I gave New Orleans the nod because of Drew Brees and their upgrade at running back when they exported Reggie Bush out of Louisiana and imported Darren Sproles from the San Diego Chargers.
