Take Redskins +9 4-Dime NFL POD[/]
It's been a curious NFL start for me never have I seen more big favorites cover along with the public cashing in at the windows. Vegas got burned yesterday once again, but I think they'll make up for it tonight with the Redskins.
Monday night football will be an opportunity for the Redskins to have a turning point in their season and I'm sure that is what the coaches will be selling this team when they face the Eagles on Monday night. Jim Zorn lost his play calling duties to Sherm Lewis who has been with the team for just 3 weeks, and will now make the play calls, but he did it for years with the Lions, and I don't anticipate this being an issue. Will it improve the offense? Well it can't hurt as the Redskins are in the bottom of the league at nearly every category. Monday they will face a banged up Eagles team who are just beaten up front on their offensive line where you have back ups starting for starters and that is what led to the Eagles poor play out in Oakland as the Raiders defensive front man handled them.
Monday we have a similar match up a Redskins defense that is under rated and ranked 3rd against the pass something the Eagles like to do, and the Redskins have the personnel up front to stop the run as well even though the Eagles don't like to run much. They have always played the Eagles well and are actually 3-1-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings here. This is a lot of points to be giving a home dog on Monday night football and I'm taking the bait. Eagles are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 road games vs. team with a losing record and their front 7 is soft. They were so desperate they made a trade for aging Will Witherspoon and signed Jeremiah Trotter back this week. They are missing both of their DE including MLB Omar Gaither. Look for the Redskins to have an advantage up front and show the ability to run the ball with Portis and Betts. Redskins are 6th in points allowed this one stays low scoring as the Redskins get a shot to win at the end.
