***Eagles/Redskins Discussion***
Thought we could get some talk going..... Line is currently -6.5, total 38.5
I think that situationally, Philly has an advantage. Monday Night Football @ home vs. a divisional rival, & fresh off a road loss. This will be Campbell's first start in Philly, & it's a big stage for him. He's only had 3 road starts (1-2), & has been pretty good completing 50% around 190 ypg, 4td o ints. However, those were against NO, STL, & TB.... I'm not sure how he'll perform vs. a defense that can bring a ton of pressure from all different angles in a hostile environment. Last time he faced Philly it was at home. He threw for 182 1td, 2ints, & was sacked twice (Philly won 21-19). I think Philly will be throwing a variety of blitz packages at him early to get him rattled. The Redskins will likely rely on the run game, & why not with Portis/Betts. The question is can the Eagles stop the run? Really looking at last week's game vs. GB I think the D was fine. They held GB to 2.7 ypc (granted Wash's run game is much more potent), they held Favre to 54% 1 int, 0 td & sacked him 4 times. 2 turnovers made the difference, but I think Washington has a bigger chance of turning the ball over this week. Washington barely beat Miami @ home, despite averaging 4.7 ypc as opposed to Miami's 3.3 ypc. Campbell threw 2 picks. I don't think Washington holds Philly under 4 ypc with Westbrook back there.
The biggest question IMO for Philly is how will McNabb perform. This is a huge game for him, as there will really be naysayers if he can't win tonight. Last time he faced Washington @ home it was off a loss. He responded with a 257 2td 0 int game (westbrook added 170 all-purpose) & Philly cruised 27-3. Washington was off a close home win vs. Dallas & Brunell got the start. I think there's a better chance that Donovan bounces back this week with a solid performance than Campbell tearing up Philly's D. Taylor is a heavy hitter (landry too), but is also prone to getting beat deep. I have a hard time seeing the Skins go into Philly on MNF & pulling the win out. Of course I could be wrong, I'd like to hear how Washington beats Philly. Seems as if the public is slightly favoring Philly, but really not enough to signify anything.
I haven't played anything as far as total or side. Right now my favorite play is the Eagles team o22.5, as I think they can put up 23 pts minimum. Last season they went over this number @ home in 6 of 8 games played....
