PREVIEW
Week 10 of the season and we have a classic division game set for MNF. Donovan McNabb gets set to face his old team just hours after inking a MASSIVE contract extention with the Redskins. Enough storylines there? McNabb came out the winner in the first meeting between the two teams but has struggled as of late. Vick on the other hand missed games due to being injured. The injury came vs. these Redskins and he is looking to get back on track. This game has all the makings of a memorable MNF game… let’s just hope it lives up the the billing.
The Eagles are one of the surprise stories in the NFL this season. No one knew what to expect from this team yet Vick has the fans and the city believing in a deep post season run. LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson are just two of the bright spots on this team that for all intensive purposes is overachieving. Vick once written off by most is saying all the right things and has his coach believing that he is the right guy to take this team to the next level. On the defensive side of things, expect the Eagles to pressure McNabb early and often. That O-Line has holes and Philly will look to get through them.
McNabb has had quite the eventful week. He was benched for the overtime period last week and now inked a contract extension. The Redskins run game has suffered with Portis out. McNabb has to hope his O Line protects him tonight or he is going to be doing a lot of scrambling. Those legs are not what they used to be. He has some long threats on the field but has yet to show he can make the right passes consistently in the Shanahan offensive system.
Prediction: The Eagles are favored -3 on the road. I expect that line to move maybe closer to game time. I am an Eagles fan to the core so I am not going to roll out a prediction on the winner. But, if the Skins win it will be thanks to a great performance from McNabb who has several reasons to be fired up for this one. Oh and I like the Under (going with my gut)
