Apparently, winning a number of NFC East titles and taking the team to one Super Bowl in his tenure wasn’t good enough for QB Donovan McNabb to keep his job. Now that the Philadelphia Eagles are clearly under the direction of QB Kevin Kolb, we have five questions related to football odds for the City of Brotherly Love.

1: Is QB Kevin Kolb the real deal? The few looks that we have gotten at Kolb in his brief career have been solid. He threw for 741 yards and four scores essentially in just two starts with the Eagles last season, and that brief look was good enough for the franchise to trade McNabb to the Washington Redskins this past offseason. The Houston product clearly has a big arm and has the pedigree to be a great QB in this league, but until we see it, we don’t necessarily believe it.

2: Is this the final go around for HC Andy Reid? If it is, the Eagles could be in for a season’s worth of change. Reid, McNabb, and RB Brian Westbrook were the rocks of this franchise for years, and now, he is the only link left. There has been a ton of speculation that the Eagles and Reid have been ready to cut ties for years, and dealing McNabb might just be the straw that broke the camel’s back.

3: Can DE Brandon Graham give DE Trent Cole the pass rushing mate he’s desperately been seeking? Probably – The Michigan product was a fantastic steal for the Eagles at pick No. 13 overall in the NFL Draft, as he has a high motor off the end and can really cause a lot of problems; especially if the attention shifts to Cole on a regular basis. Cole had a team high 12.5 sacks last season and clearly will be a concern to offensive tackles across the entire league.

4: Is LeSean McCoy ready to be an every down back in the NFL? McCoy only started four games last season for Philadelphia, and he looked suitable in doing so. He’ll probably have to improve upon a 4.1 YPC average from ’09 to make it in this league, but he will also have to prove that he is able to carry the rock 225+ times as well. A 1,000+ yard season is expected from the back out of U-Pitt, and anything less will be a brutal disappointment.

5: Bottom Line: How many games will the Philadelphia Eagles win in 2010? An over/under of 8.5 wins is what the Eagles have to beat this season. We don’t think so. A second place schedule, the NFC East (most notably two games against McNabb and the Redskins), and the AFC South is just too much for a brand new quarterback to be able to overcome. The Eagles will inevitably be quite exciting this year once again, especially with WRs DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin catching passes and returning kicks and punts, but there isn’t enough firepower to make the playoffs or finish better than .500.
