No matter what happens Thursday night in Charlotte, NC, the Philadelphia Eagles will go home as the NFC East Division leaders. But the Eagles hope to continue the momentum they have gained with three straight wins, the latest an impressive 34-7 thrashing of the visiting Arizona Cardinals.
The Carolina Panthers, on the other hand, have had to scratch and claw their way to a half-game lead in the NFC South Division. After a 34-13 dismantling at the hands of the visiting New Orleans Saints three weeks ago, Carolina has rallied for consecutive three-point victories on the road at New England and Detroit.
