Pretty simple angle here: MONDAY NIGHT HOME DIVISIONAL DOG
The Redskins are coming off a bye week and the media has overdone the Mcnabb benching vs the Lions. The Shanahans both refute reports that they are dissatisfied with Mcnabb's laid back practice routine and ESPN reported today that The Redskins have signed Mcnabb to a five 5yr $78 mil extension. Bottom line here is that all parties at Redskins camp are competitive and want to win that elusive super bowl ring.
On another note, The money is in on the Eagles. Most lines are now Eags -3 (-125 juice). The Redskins have played very close games this year and HALF of those games have been decided by 3. Make sure you use discipline and buy the extra 1/2 point and get this game at +3.5
From a strategic point of view, SS Nate Allen of the Eagles hurt his next last week. Look for the Redskins to exploit his rookie replacement Kurt Coleman. Also, keep an eye on Brandon Banks who might return early from a knee scope to boost the Special Teams
Redskins +3.5 2 stars
p.s. Hedgie missed this angle yesterday with the Chiefs play. The Broncos coming off a bye at home was a divisonal foe underdog and showed up to play. Moving on...
