To get you ready for week 2, FanHouse is previewing all 16 NFL games. Here is the Philadelphia Eagles/Washington Redskins MNF preview.

2007 Records:
Redskins: 1-0 with an OT win over Miami
Eagles: 0-1 with a tough loss to the Packers

The Eagles are coming off a terribly disappointing loss in week one to the seemingly underrated Packers. Tonight the Birds will play in front of their loyal fans in South Philadelphia for the first time this season in an attempt to get the 2007 campaign back on track. Not only is it the home opener, it's also on the biggest stage of the regular season on Monday Night Football.

Eagles fans have been out in the parking lots doing their all important prep work for the game since the sun first came up this morning. Game time temperature should be in the mid sixties, a perfect night for football.

Some keys to the game for each team as well as a few special guests, after the jump.

To get you ready for week 2, FanHouse is previewing all 16 NFL games. Here is your New York Jets vs Baltimore Ravens preview.

2007 Records:
New York Jets 0-1 (t-2nd in AFC East)
Baltimore Ravens 0-1 (t-3rd in AFC North)

Last Meeting: October 2, 2005, Ravens beat the Jets 13-3.

When the Jets have the ball: Well, they are breaking in Kellen Clemens as the QB with Chad Pennington out. Since Clemens is making his first ever start, look for a heavy dose of Thomas Jones and Leon Washington. This will keep the Ravens from, somewhat, teeing off on Clemens. Oh, boy, will they go after him! However, Clemens arm is much stronger than Pennington's ... so expect to see the Jets to attempt some big plays down the field to Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery.

To get you ready for week 2, FanHouse is previewing all 16 NFL games. Here is your Cincinnati Bengals vs Cleveland Browns.

2007 Records: (Click names for 2007 preview)

Cincinnati Bengals 1-0 (1st in AFC North)
Cleveland Browns 0-1 (t-3rd in AFC North)

Last meeting: Bengals 30-Browns 0: It was the first time Cincinnati shut out an opponent since 1989.

When the Bengals have the ball: Expect the Bengals to utilize Rudi Johnson more on Sunday than they did against the Ravens. His power running style will be a task for Cleveland's defense, who will be more worried about Chad Johnson or TJ Houshmandzadeh burning them deep. Something to watch will be Carson Palmer's accuracy, which was lacking in Week 1. Maybe a calmer atmosphere than a Monday Night stage will get him back on track.

To get you ready for week 2, FanHouse is previewing all 16 NFL games. Here is the Seattle Seahawks/Arizona Cardinals preview.

2007 Records: (Click names for 2007 preview)

Seattle Seahawks: 1-0 (1st in NFC West)
Arizona Cardinals: 0-1 (4th in NFC West)

Last Game(s):

Seahawks 20 - Buccaneers 6
49ers 20 - Cardinals 17

When the Seahawks have the ball: There's no denying that Shaun Alexander is Seattle's biggest offensive threat, and that won't change this weekend. Although Arizona's somewhat suspect defense did a great job containing Frank Gore on Monday night, it will not stop the Seahawks from running early and often. However, they'll certainly be hoping for better results than last year, in which the Cardinals held Alexander to a 3.4 yards per carry average.

For the Cardinals defense, they'll be looking for more of the same. While things weren't always statistically pretty, they were able to keep themselves in each game last year. Even if Alexander and Matt Hasselback have huge yardage games, holding Seattle to 21 points or below would be a huge moral victory, and possibly enough to steal a win.

To get you ready for week 2, FanHouse is previewing all 16 NFL games. Here is your Dallas Cowboys vs Miami Dolphins.

2007 Records: (Click names for 2007 preview)

Dallas Cowboys 1-0 (1st in NFC East)
Miami Dolphins 0-1 (t-2nd in AFC East)

When the Cowboys have the ball: Judging by the way Washington tired out the Miami front seven, expect a good dose of both Julius Jones and Marion Barber. It may not pay off immediately, but the Redskins piled up nearly 200 yds rushing ... mostly in the 2nd half and overtime... last week. That should open up the passing attack. Miami is without S Yeremiah Bell, hwho is lost for the season. Expect a big game from Terrell Owens.

Packers at Giants: Battle of the Walking Wounded and Missing

To get you ready for week 2, FanHouse is previewing all 16 NFL games. Here is the Green Bay Packers/New York Giants preview.

2007 Records: (Click names for 2007 preview)

New York Giants: 0-1 (4th in NFC East)
Green Bay Packers: 1-0 (2nd in NFC North)

Last Game(s):

Packers 16 - Eagles 13
Cowboys 45 - Giants 35

When the Giants have the ball: Will Eli Manning play or will he be replaced by Jared Lorenzen? Now that the Giants have a true fullback, will Reuben Droughns or Derrick Ward get the carries?

Due to an overwhelming amount of injuries, it's hard to grasp exactly what to expect from New York this weekend. The loss of Brandon Jacobs will severely alter their gameplan, and if Manning can't play due to his injured shoulder, it will change that much more. If you were the Packers, your best bet would be to throw all the possibilities up on a wall and go with whichever one sticks.
