Eagles' RB Brian Westbrook hopes to be back at full strength and continue his dazzling start when Philadelphia faces the Green Bay Packers on MNF. Despite battling a nagging knee injury the last two weeks, Westbrook has been playing and his presence has been felt, as his 420 total yards from scrimmage and five TDs lead the NFL.
While he is among the league leaders with 256 rushing yards and 5.8 ypc despite being limited to 44 attempts, Westbrook remains one of Donovan McNabb's top targets. He has 15 receptions and tops all non-wideouts in the NFL this season with 164 receiving yards.
The highest rushing total of his career came against Green Bay in last season's 19-14 victory on Nov. 27 when he ran for 120 yards and a TD on 20 carries.

Including a playoff matchup in 2004, the Eagles have won four in a row SU over the Packers and have won eight straight home games against them since 1962.
Those streaks are likely to continue if McNabb keeps up his hot play. He has a 105.3 passer rating, throwing for a league-high 960 yards and seven touchdowns this season with one interception.
The Eagles lead the NFL in total offense with 436.0 ypg. They have a good chance to at least maintain that pace when it meets a Green Bay squad ranked 31st in both passing defense, allowing 301.0 ypg, and overall defense, giving up 388.3 ypg.
Prediction: Philadelphia 31 Green Bay 17
