With both the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins celebrating the 75th aniversary of their respective franchises who will emerge as a victor in their first divisional game on Monday Night Football? The Philadelphia Eagles were upset last week as -3 favorites at Lambeau Field by a surprisingly strong Green Bay Packers team. The Washington Redskins were outplayed by the lowly Miami Dolphins for much of their home opener before rallying to win 13-10 as -3 favorites.
On paper it would seem the Philadelphia Eagles as a 7 point home favorite at SportsBetting.com have this game all but won but Philly has proven to be erratic posting a 6-10 record in 2005 before bouncing back in 2006 to go 10-6. Which version is this team more likely to be the 6-10 losers or the 10-6 playoff contenders? Eagles Quarterback Donovan McNabb might never have the mobility he once had after tearing his ACL but he looks able to drive off the injured leg and deliver his passes with velocity still.
The key for Washington will be to contain big play RB Brian Westbrook and not play from behind. The key to this game for the Eagles will be to limit Washington's dynamic running tandem of Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts from running wild. For Washington Coach Joe Gibbs this game would be the 20th time he has beaten Philly in his illustrious career if he can pull off the upset.
