Monday Night Football in the Nation’s Capital

Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Redskins - FedEx Field - Washington, DC                                8:35 PM EST    ESPN 

The Philadelphia Eagles, coming off of their self-granted BYE week against the Raiders last Sunday, look to bury everything about their trip to Oakland.  Donovan McNabb has historically lit up the Redskins and we expect more of the same tonight.

The Redskins are a complete and total mess.  Jim Zorn is still recuperating from Dan Snyder’s first attempt at a vasectomy in the form of new offensive play caller Sherm Lewis.  Zorn has been demoted to team manager but he refuses to quit and forfeit the huge sums of money promised to him by the aforementioned amateur Dr. Snyder.  One thing about this move though, it will result in a more effective Washington offense.  They will score some tonight.

We do like the Eagles in this one although the spread has shifted from 7 up to 9 points in the last 12 hours and that makes us pause for a moment.  We usually subscribe with the theory that if all the money is going one way, then we’ll go the other.  I won’t go that far here.  We like the Eagles a lot at -7 and they will probably cover the 9, but the strong play that your consulting team at P4P  like tonight is: OVER 37 1/2.
