double-dime bet 437 PHI -7.5 (-110) BetUs vs 438 WAS
Analysis: I looked long and hard at this game just trying to find some reason to pull the trigger on the Redskins at home catching this many points. Frankly I came up empty. I have a real difficult time getting past the fact that this team loœst at home to the Chiefs, ouch. I understand the Eagles also just laid a giant egg out in Oakland but I feel that works to my benefit here. Because of that very loss to the Raiders I expect a huge effort from Andy Reids guys in this showcase game. The Eagles are obviously a legitimate NFC contender and playing for different stakes than the Redskins who are basically a dumpster fire at this point. Fact is I do not trust that Skins offense, at all. The Redskins defense is capable and under appreciated but too much is expected as the offense just continues to sputter, drive after drive. I know the Redskins will be a trendy pick for the devoted contrarians, many of whom also liked the Rams and Bucs sunday. Sometimes you just have to take the obvious and those cases don't come along all that often but I honestly feel this is one of those instances. Maybe not to the same degree as the Colts sunday over the pathetic Rams, but still a strong play in my view. Eagles too sporadic for me to tag them a Triple Star but I feel it's a solid winner and justifies a Double Star release. I'll side with Andy Reid over the tag team combination of Jim Zorn/Sherm Lewis. Too bad because the Redskins fans are incredibly loyal and proven devoted fans, they deserve much better than Snyder provides.
