Washington @ Philadelphia ?

What are your thoughts on this one.. IMO, which is the opinion of a Philadelphia Eagles fan, Philly should be 4-0 right now.. instead they are 2-2, at home vs. division rival Washington Redskins, who have had arguably the toughest schedule this year, playing Dallas, NYG, Arizona, and New Orleans.

Washington 1-1 on the road this season, while Philadelphia is 2-0.. Philadelphia has won 3 of the past four matchups versus Washington, and will be looking to revenge last weeks lost vs. divisional foes, at home..

Should Philadelphia be 6 point favourites?, I thought the line would be -2.5 to -3.5.. Can Washingtons offense keep up with Philadelphias offense?

Philly has had 2 very physical games in a row.. pretty banged up and their defense has been on the field lots.

Never bet on or against Philly usually these are close games with the skins winning in Philly last year on a Mon nite but I see this as a slam dunk for the Eagles who should win by DD. This is a letdown spot after Dallas and I said after the Eagles lost to Dallas they would be up for Pitts and they were and if they would have beaten Dall then Pitts was the play. I dont care if this is a div game this is a good spot for Philly coming off that embarrasement against Chicago

I think Washington is just too hot right now. Unless you can present them with a consistant solid running game. I don't see how Philly can do that. Even with a healthy Westbrook I'm not sure Philly would do what it takes and just pound and pound it down Washington's throat.

I underestimated and gave not enough credit to Cambell as a quarterback. He has proven the past two games that he likes the new system and the system fits him. he's making plays instead of misstakes.

I'm a Dallas fan but I harbor no ill feelings towards Philly I just see Washington right now as the better team in this match-up.

It certainly will be one of the two best games this weekend. Pit/Jax being the other.

Phillys six point favorites because Vegas had them high in power rankings at the beginning of season, they had Washington in the middle of the pack. If Philly losses this game, they'll get less favorable odds obviously... its just that Vegas isn't gonna do a huge quick adjustment just cause Wash beat Cowboys and Eagles lost to Bears... This is a line where maybe value is being really exposed on Washington. Im sure vegas doesnt really mind if they take a hit on it, cause they'll eventually get it back. Although Im sure Vegas doesnt mind if Eagles win too. you know what i mean?
