From a point spread perspective It's the correct side. Good luck. I see Philly is the favorite now. Imagine the Skins home a dog. From the odds perspective the Skins are the right side they shouldn't be a dog at home to a pathetic 1-4 team with no strategy and does nothing well but run the ball, unfortunately Reid doesn't run the ball.
From the motivation perspective the Skins are the right play. If the Eagles were legit they would have won last week against a disgusting defense in Buffalo after saying they were done with Dream Team idea and were simplifying anything.
People seem to forget Vick shitting on the Skins in Washington 59-28 in an embarrassing game for Wash on Monday Night Football. Skins got the bye too to bury this pathetic fraud Eagles team.
When you break down the team's gameplans the Skins are the right play. Good pass rush, solid secondary and they will run the ball down the Eagles throat. No Cole to pressure Grossman who'll be in short yardage situations all day. Gaffney and Moss are veterans who'll know how to get open on short routes against Eagles good DBs.
Grossman said the Skins win the division at the beginnning of the year so they're gonna be very focused and will win in front of the home crowd come Sunday.
I've been eyeing this game for many weeks and I really think the Boys win SU here
thanks Milt!
Ya it's sad NBA looks like it's goin down the drain miss that forum and the sport. Gonna feel real empty when NFL ends even with NHL

Redskins PK (-103) to win 20 units
Hit this right when the line came out and boy oh boy did I get dicked with the line movement. Nonetheless, I don’t think it matters whether the Skins are +3 or PK I think they win this straight up.
The past: But when it’s all said and done, I really feel like this team’s gonna win the [NFC] East.”- Rex Grossman
The present: "It's really opened our eyes to the fact that it's a real possibility to make some noise this year."
—Guard Kory Lichtensteiger on last Sunday's losses by NFC East rivals New York and Philadelphia that left Washington alone atop the division.
The Redskins are atop of the division and have had a week to prepare for this BIG matchup. Not only do the Skins want to strengthen the grip on the division lead, not only do they want to bury this overrated Eagles team, but they want some serious revenge after getting embarrassed in Washington on Monday Night Football last season. Here’s a link to the box score in case you forgot what happened https://espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=301115028. The Redskins are flat out the better team. If the Eagles were legit they would have beaten a Bills team with a porous defense. The Redskins have a top 5 pass defense so they should do well against Vick. The Skins are 4th in league scoring 14 sacks even with a bye week already. Orakpo, Bowen, Carriker, and Fletcher will be in Vick’s grill all day long. The Skins have a mediocre run D but the Eagles never run it enough. The Eagles turn it over a ton and the Skins cause a decent amount of turnovers. Hall and Buchanon are questionable but I think one of em will suit up alongside Josh Wilson, Landry, and Otogwe for their solid secondary. The Eagles are missing two key offensive linemen in Dunlop and Peters so the Skins will cause havoc on D considering the fact that the Redskins are 4th in the league in sacks.
On the other side of the ball the Eagles are among the last in the league at stopping run. The Skins can run it with Torain so Grossman should have a lot of short yardage situations to move the chains. Moss and Gaffney are veterans who will be able to get open on short routes against the Eagles solid secondary. Trent Cole and Juqua Parker will be out so the Eagles solid pass rush will be a little bit depleted so I think Grossman won’t be out of sorts in the pocket.
I love the Skins in this spot and I’m takin em.
Cowboys +7 (-106) to win 17.5 units
I have been looking forward to this play for a couple of weeks. We get the Cowboys who are coming off of a bye and boy they needed to recharge the batteries after that horrific collapse to the Lions. The Pats will be focused for Dallas but they are coming off of a physical win over the Jets and a lot of travel from previous weeks so I don’t think they’ll have their best game here. They also have 12 players questionable so they’re banged up. Now the Cowboys match up well with the Pats and they are a team that plays well with few expectations.
On offense Romo is a good QB who can make many throws against a New England secondary that is 2nd last in the league YPC given up. The Pats have a mediocre run defense as well. With Dez Bryant, Miles Austin, and Felix Jones comin back ready to go this Dallas offense will be in full gear. Dallas O-Line does a great job of protecting the QB so Romo will have time to throw against a mediocre pass rush from the Pats. I took the Pats at -7 last week over the Jets and watched a lot of that game. Brady didn’t have good pass protection and got sacked 3 times. The Pats were however able to move the ball on the ground. Unfortunately, the Cowboys have the best run D in the league and Green-Ellis is banged up. The Pats will have to be way too one-dimensional. The Cowboys secondary has been decent as a top 10 pass defense. They will finally have the whole secondary ready to go with Scandbrick, Newman, and Jenkins all back. Hernandez, Woodhead, and Edelman are all banged up for the Pats O. In a game before the bye week Bellichick might not burn out and risk some of these veterans to long-term injuries. The Cowboys have an elite pass rush with Ware, Lee, and Spencer head-manning the unit. Brady has never done well under a ton of pressure and I think Cowboys will get to him. Rob Ryan is the Cowboys coordinator on defense. Last year he was with the Browns and had a bye to prepare for the Pats. The BROWNS WON 34-14. Ryan also got see how his brother Rex Ryan attacked the Pats O last week so I think the Cowboys will be ready for this and it wouldn’t surprise me if Romo silences some critics by leading the Cowboys to a victory in Foxboro.
Vikings – Bears Under 41.5 (-105) to win 15 units
This in my opinion is the toughest game to determine who’s gonna win. This is the BEARS SEASON on the line. The Packers and Lions are undefeated and if the Bears lose this they are done. At home in a divisional game on SNF the Bears D will be giving it their all. Lovie Smith benched Merriweather and Chris Harris at the beginning of the week in favour of Major Wright and Conte. Now I think this is good cause these Bears rookies are decent safeties and might give the D some life. Peppers is out but I think they’ll be okay. The Bears have been struggling covering the long ball and the Vikings are one of the worst pass offenses in the league. Percy Harvin, the only Vikings deep threat is battling sore ribs so the deep bomb shouldn’t be an issue which will allow the physical defensive backs of Tillman and Jennings to play the Vikings wideouts up tight. With the threat of the deep bomb gone the Bears can completely focus on A Pete. I know Best of the Lions had a 88 yard TD, but I just don’t see the Bears getting run over, they are still a decent D and they have a lot of pride here.
That being said the Vikings are riding high into this game. They can get revenge on a Bears team that beat them both times last year and they definitely don’t want lose again after finally ending their 4-game losing streak to start the year. The Vikings run D is terrific top 5 in the league and will make the Bears very one-dimensional. That’s bad news for the Bears as the Vikings are second in the league in sacks. Allen, Robison, and Willimas will be all over Cutler going up against that pathetic Bears O-Line. This is going to be a really competitive game and I expect points to be at a premium here.
Rams – Packers Under 47.5 (-104) to win 12.5 units
Uh ohhhh I’m taking an under against Aaron Rodgers. It’s okay I don’t expect the Packers to be fully sharp for this one. They are on a short week after a late victory against the Falcons Sunday night and they are up against the worst team in the league so they won’t be too excited. The fans will be more concerned with the Brewers game than the Packers havin to deal with the lowly Rams. Here’s why I like the Under. The Packers offensive line will be in disarray this week. Top linemen in Chad Clifton and Bulaga are out. This means the Chris Long, Bannan, and Hall will pressure Rodgers and the Packers mediocre run game probably won’t get going against the usually-porous Rams run D. The Rams are coached by Spagnuolo who is a terrific defensive coach. He’ll have the Rams D ready with a gameplan to slow down the Pack O after a bye week. The Rams are also using veterans Hood and Al Harris in the secondary so I think they’ll step up to this challenge and do a decent job on the Pack wideouts. On the other side of the ball the Packers have one of the best run Ds in the league so SJax won’t get much. The Packers have a mediocre secondary, but the Rams have god awful wide receivers and the Rams give up the 2nd most sacks in the league while the Packers are in top 5 in sacks in the league. Sleepy game here give me the Under.
Steelers -12 (-109) to win 12 units
I have had a good read on the Steelers this season. I took them last week against the Titans, faded them by taking the Texans -3.5 and Colts +10.5- winners in previous weeks. The betting action for the Steelers game against the Jaguars is pretty split. That surprises me greatly. The Steelers finally had a good performance and I don’t think they are going to stop here. The Jaguars have won their last 3 visits to Pittsburgh and that has been publicly known to this veteran Steelers team. I think Tomlin is absolutely sick of that and will motivate the troops. I don’t see a letdown for the Steelers here as they have not been playing quality football for consistent weeks. I actually see the Jaguars being very deflated for this match. They threw the kitchen sink at the Saints and Bengals in consecutive weeks at home only to lose tough games. They now head to Pittsburgh for one road game knowing that they come home next week to play in a primetime Monday night game against Balty. I don’t think any of them are looking forward to playing Pitt. The Steelers run D played great last week limiting Chris Johnson to only 51 yards of rushing. Jones-Drew is a better back but the Steelers are gonna flood the box to stop him. That will be easy because the Jaguars have no receiving threats and Gabbert has not been proficient at moving the ball through the air. The Steelers are also number 1 against the pass in the NFL and will have some blitz schemes for the rookie.
On defense the Jaguars have major issues in the secondary. Safety Coleman is out and defensive back Derek Cox is out as well. Goodness Mike Wallace and the Steelers wide outs will have a field day. The Jags have a horrible pass rush and the return of Starks and Legursky has really improved the O-Line for the Steel. Big Ben will have a lot of time to throw. Mendenhall is back for the Steelers after being out last week so he should be refreshed and ready for this one. Linebacker Clint Session is out so running the ball will be easier. The Steelers blew out a ton of teams last year and have already blown out 2 teams at home this year and I think that continues as the public notion of this team is still not good.
6.5 Point Teaser- Bills – Giants Over 43.5 and Jets -0.5 (-120) to win 10 units
Giants have the best pass rush but the Bills have given up the least amount of sacks so Fitzpatrick will have time to dissect that brutal Giants secondary. Tuck is out for the GMen so Fred Jackson will continue to have success running against mediocre Giants run D. On the other side of the ball the Bills run D is bad and NT Kyle Williams is questionable. Bradshaw should go berserk here. The Bills have a pretty bad secondary and pass rush so Eli Manning will get a lot of yards.
The Dolphins have a bad pass secondary and pass rush so Sanchez will do well this week. The Jets ran the ball well last week and should continue to do well here. The Jets secondary is very good so they can focus on crowding the box and blitzing Matt Moore. They won’t have to respect the run cause Daniel Thomas is questionable for the Phins. The Jets have lost 5 in a row at home to Miami including a stinker last year. I watched the Pats game last week and the Jets were getting their swagger back in the 2nd half. I think they come out fired up and win this game.
