Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Redskins
Monday, 8:35 pm Eastern – ESPN
NFC East rivals meet on Monday night as the Washington Redskins host the Philadelphia Eagles. The Redskins had a bye last week which allowed them to put some of the controversy regarding Donovan McNabb’s benching behind them while the Eagles beat Indianapolis 26-24. The Eagles are looking like a Super Bowl contender with Michael Vick at quarterback while the Redskins could be ready to come apart if they lose this game.
Philadelphia is a 3 point favorite with a total of 42.5 at SBG Global.
The Redskins were able to beat the Eagles in their first matchup this NFL betting season by a score of 17-12 as Donovan McNabb got some revenge against his old team even though he didn’t play that well. Vick was hurt in that last meeting but since coming back from that injury he has looked good. The Philadelphia offense looks explosive with DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy providing excellent options. Vick is leading the NFL with a 105.3 passer rating as he has thrown seven TD passes this year with no interceptions.
Washington will look to run the ball on Monday night. Ryan Torain is expected back and he had a very good game in the first meeting against the Eagles. When the Redskins win it is a low scoring game as all four of their wins saw them score 17 points or less and still win. When the game is high scoring the Redskins lose. It is possible that Washington head coach Mike Shanahan knows something because McNabb has the lowest passer rating since he was a rookie.
