Coming off another 2-0 Sunday in the NFL, the pros at FiveStarPick.com look forward to another winner tonight as we give our members the against the spread winner of tonight’s Monday Night Football game between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Washington Redskins.  Most Las Vegas sportsbooks opened the Eagles as 6-point road favorties with a total of 38.5.  As of this morning, most books have moved the Eagles to a 7-point chalk with the Total coming down to 37.

The Redskins have had their fair share of problems this year under headcoach Jim Zorn.  After spending mega millions on All-Pro Albert Haynesworth, many thought the Redskins were making all the right moves for a title run. However, the season began with a loss to the Giants in the Meadowlands and hasn’t gotten much better since.  A week later the Redskins pulled out an ugly 9-7 decision over the winless Rams and then managed to give Detroit their first victory since 2007 losing to the Lions 19-14 on the road. Redskin fans wanted blood!  Both of Washington’s victories have come over teams that are still winless, with the other being the Tampa Bay Bucs.  After the 16-13 win over the Bucs, the ‘Skins lost 20-17 at Carolina.

The Redskin offense has really sucked this year, failing to score more than 17 points through six games. Jason Campbell was benched last week and although he’ll start tonight, he could once again be on a short leash.  Campbell has a 65.6 percent completion rate, has thrown for 1,197 passing yards and has a 6/6 touchdown-interception ratio. Backup Todd Collins wasn’t much better completing 6-of-14 passes for 75 yards, with no TD’s or interceptions. Santana Moss seems to be the only playmaker with 22 receptions for 379 yards and two TDs this year. Clinton Portis is recovering from an ankle injury, but he went at full speed in Saturday’s practice and will start according to sources within the Redskin organization. Portis averages 4.2 yards per carry and has 447 rushing yards and one rushing TD this season.

Philadelphia is coming off it’s worst game of the season, a 13-9 loss to the Raiders as 14-point road favorites.  Donovan McNabb was sacked six times by Oakland and only threw for 269 yards.  The offense had to settle for five field-goal attempts, but converted only three.

McNabb cracked a rib in the season opener with Carolina, but appeared to be back to 100 percent in practice this week.  For the season, McNabb has a 5/1 touchdown-interception ratio and his team leads the NFL in passing yards per game (340.7). The Eagles are 3rd in the league in total offense (409 YPG) and will be facing a Washington pass defense that is ranked 24th, giving up 241.3 yards per game through the air.

Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth is listed as “questionable” with an ankle injury for tonight’s game and offensive lineman, Chris Samuels, is out for the year with a neck injury.

Now let’s talk trends…the ‘Skins are 6-2-1 against the spread in their last nine games against the Eagles. The ‘over’ is 4-1 overall for the Eagles, 1-1 in their road games.  Washington has seen the ‘under’ go 5-1 overall, 3-0 in its home outings.  The ‘under’ is 8-2-1 in the last 11 head-to-head meetings between these two teams.
