Not too bad, really.  Donovan McNabb threw for 269 yards and the Eagles committed only 1 turnover as opposed to the Raiders\u2019 2 turnovers.  The problem was that Philly couldn\u2019t punch it into the end zone against the Raiders.<\/p>\n<p>McNabb and the Eagles now travel to Washington to take on the Redskins who might be worse than the Oakland Raiders.  Washington is 2 and 4 on the season and 1-4-1 against the spread.  The \u2018Skins have only beaten two teams in 2009 and both of those teams haven\u2019t won a game yet.<\/p>\n<p>Washington beat the St. Louis Rams 9 to 7 and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 16 to 13.  In both games, Washington played just as badly as their two opponents, but somehow found a way to pull out a victory.  Against any team with a semblance of respect, the \u2018Skins have failed miserably save for a 20 to 17 victory over the Carolina Panthers on the road, their one win against the spread as they were 5 point underdogs in that game.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are the NFL betting odds for this game.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Philadelphia Eagles                           -7 -110             -300     O 37 \u00bd -110<br \/>\nWashington Redskins                       +7 -110            +250    U 37 \u00bd -110<\/p>\n<p><strong>Below are a few online wagering trends for this game.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Philadelphia Eagles are 5 and 1 ATS in their last 6 games on field turf.<br \/>\nThe Philadelphia Eagles are 13 and 6 ATS in their last 19 games on the road.<br \/>\nThe Washington Redskins are 2-9-3 against the spread in their last 14 games overall.<br \/>\nNow, let\u2019s see how the offenses and defenses matchup. [soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eagles\u2019 Offense vs. Redskins\u2019 Defense<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Eagles\u2019 12th ranked offense is fairly balanced with 250 yards coming through the air, on average, and 101 yards coming on the ground.  They score around 27 points a game.<\/p>\n<p>Forget Michael Vick, the Eagles\u2019 offense is all about McNabb and his pinpoint throws to DeSean Jackson and tight-end Brian Celek.  Jackson leads the team with 3 touchdowns while Celek leads the team in receiving yards with 384.<\/p>\n<p>This offense revolves around Donovan McNabb.  If McNabb is clicking with Jackson and Celek, then you can be assured the Coach Andy Reid is going to find a way to get the ball into the hands of rookie LeSean McCoy and Brian Westbrook.  It will be tough to keep the Eagles out of the end zone again if that happens.<\/p>\n<p>Defensively, the Washington Redskins are solid.  They haven\u2019t allowed a team to put up more than 23 points against them in 2009 yet and more often then not it\u2019s been Washington\u2019s defense that has kept them in games, not the offense.<\/p>\n<p>Washington can be susceptible against the run, allowing 117.5 yards per game on average, but Philly\u2019s offense starts and ends with McNabb.\u00a0The Redskins could have some success keeping Donovan and Co. under control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Eagles\u2019 Defense vs. Redskins\u2019 Offense<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Eagles\u2019 defense is ranked 4th in the league and has been close to outstanding in 2009.  They allow less than 180 yards, on average, through the air and less than 105 yards rushing on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>Save for the debacle versus New Orleans, where the Saints racked 421 yards, the Eagles have been solid.  Of course, look at who the Eagles have played and all of a sudden their lofty ranking makes sense.  Philadelphia has played against Carolina, Kansas City, Tampa Bay and Oakland.  Those teams are a combined 5 and 18 straight-up.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, Washington\u2019s 24th ranked offense probably won\u2019t strike fear into any defense.  The \u2018Skins average only 13 points per game.  That\u2019s ridiculous for an NFL team and more often than not it\u2019s just not going to be enough in this day and age of the spread formation.  Quarterback Jason Campbell has a decent 84.3 quarterback rating, but what was that all about last week?  Campbell threw for 89 yards against Kansas City before getting pulled for Todd Collins who threw for a whopping 75 yards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Best NFL Bet Is\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Under the total of 37 \u00bd points.  The Redskins average only 13 points and their defense allows only 16 points a game.<\/p>\n<p>If the Eagles were at home in this one, I\u2019d probably go with them straight-up ATS, but they\u2019re in D.C. for this game and Washington should be up to take on the Eagles.  Philly is much better than what they showed against Oakland last Sunday, but Washington\u2019s defense is much better than Oakland\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>That means that the Redskins probably stay in this game, but why worry about that when it\u2019s obvious that the \u2018Skins will try to control the clock with Clinton Portis and keep the ball out of McNabb\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n<h3>MNF Eagles vs. Redskins Predictions<\/h3>\n<p>Even if McNabb gets the ball, he will need to do something against a very good defensive backfield.  This game could be close, and a swing for the fences football bet on the Redskins to win straight-up at +250 isn\u2019t a bad idea, but the safe wager is on the game to go under 37 \u00bd.<br \/>\n<strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/go\/bovada\">NFL BETTING SEASON PROMO FROM BETUS: A 100% match play bonus for 1st Time players Up To $500.
