Washington Redskins vs. Philadelphia EaglesWebsite Gambling Article by - Who2beton.com - Sep 17, 2007 Brought to you by Who2beton.com This weeks Monday night match-up pits a couple of NFC East representatives who don’t like one another very much. Washington picked up a hard fought victory in OT last week at home over Miami, while the Eagles fumbled away their game in Lambeau Field against the GB Packers. After sweeping the season series back in 2005, the Eagles returned the favor last season by beating the Skins in Washington 21-19 and at home by a 27-3 final count. Except for their success in 2005, the Redskins haven’t had much to boast about after playing the Eagles. Philly has dominated them throughout the L/5 years, but Washington will put forth a good showing tonight and let the rest of the conference know they will be a major player this season. Washington was a team just killed with injuries a season ago. They hampered them in every facet of the game, and that’s the main reason their season win total dropped dramatically from 2005. Things look to be much different this time around though as the defense has looked much quicker, and the offense much more efficient. They churned out 400 yards of offense against a very good Miami defense last week, and only limited them to 273 total yards of offense on the other side of the ball. K Shaun Suisham also nailed all three of his FG attempts including the game winner in OT. Philly QB Donavan McNabb came back from his injury last season and put forth a semi-decent performance. He threw for 184 yards on 15-of-33 passing with a TD and INT, but the offense didn’t look nearly as good with him running it as it did late last season with the now departed Jeff Garcia at the helm. Maybe it was rust, maybe not. However, we’ll get a better idea of just how far along McNabb is when playing in the comfy confines of “The Linc” against what I believe will be a much improved Washington defense. Washington Head Coach Joe Gibbs is 19-12 against the Eagles in his career, while Philadelphia's Andy Reid is 11-5 versus the Redskins since taking over in 1999. Something has to give here, so tune to ESPN this Monday Night at 8:30 ET to see which club gets a leg up in the NFC East race.
