Washington Redskins vs Philadelphia Eagles

The Philadelphia Eagles will try and get their first win of the season as they host the Washington Redskins on Monday Night Football. Donovan McNabb and the Eagles were a little bit rusty in their opener, a 16-13 loss at Green Bay. McNabb was 15-of-33 passes for 184 yards and one touchdown. "I know that he had an opportunity to play more plays and see a little bit more pressure, and receive a little bit more pressure than he had in the preseason to have to try to make the throws," Eagles coach Andy Reid said. "I think it was good for him to be in there and get that work. If there was any rust that he's able to knock it off now and move on." SBG Global reports that early betting has the public taking the favored Eagles at Home.

Washington Redskins vs Philadelphia Eagles Betting Preview
Monday, 8:30 pm Eastern – ESPN

Philadelphia lost at Green Bay last week because they made a number of mistakes including not fielding punts. They resigned returner Reno Mahe, who they didn’t keep in the off-season. He was brought back because J.R. Reed, who bobbled a punt that led to the Packers' winning field goal last week, was cut.

The Redskins come into the game off a win against Miami in the opener. Antwaan Randle El had five catches for a career-high 162 yards. The Redskins usually keep the ball on the ground and that may be the case again tonight. Clinton Portis and Ladell Betts usually get a lot of work. Last year Betts had 20 carriers and 83 yards and then had career highs of 33 carries and 171 yards later in the year against the Eagles. Philadelphia has won nine of the last 11 meetings with Washington.
