[QUOTE=BDBohnzie;351410]Philly is a 7 point favorite, Over/Under is 39. Now, from that game last week, there's no way this is going to fly. I'm guessing they are trying to get people to bet on the Skins perhaps.

Philly gets the edge playing at home. They have one of the best offensive threats in the league in Brian Westbrook. McNabb is hobbled still by injuries, and they have a bunch of #3 WRs playing for them. Their defense is carried by Takeo Spikes, Brian Dawkins, and Sheldon Brown.

The Skins are coming off an overtime win at home against a less than stellar Dolphins team. Campbell showed off his youth with several 20+ yard passes along with several mistakes. The tandem of Portis and Betts will carry the load all year, as they did last week (34 carries, 157 yards, 1 TD). Randle El will not have many games this year like this past one, especially with the quality in the Eagles secondary. Cooley needs to get the ball more for this offense to be successful. The defense played fairly well, and will need a plan to contain Westbrook and make McNabb throw into our secondary.

Monday Night, Eagles at home, is a recipe for destruction. No matter what the records are, when the NFC East teams play each other, it's a war.

Eagles 20
Skins 17

Last minute FG by Akers, folllowed by a Campbell interception ends the game. Take the Skins with the points and the under.[/QUOTE

Over/under is 39, I'll take the under.
