Dont bet against Redskins tonite.

Domestic · 10-26-09, 09:38 AM

I hear what you are saying but I find it so hard to take any under that is in the 30's.

UnderDog_Philip · 10-26-09, 09:40 AM

I like the Redskins, they have always play the eagles tough. They won't lose by more than 8 points.

He was on the cards last night so now what does that mean?

HoulihansTX · 10-26-09, 09:45 AM

Redskins six games have all had totals set in the 30's. 5 UNDER, w/ 1 OVER against Giants.

I say UNDER b/c Eagles are a finesse team, and they can rough up Eagles on both sides of ball.

Redskins home game final score totals; 20, 29, 16

tblues2005 · 10-26-09, 09:55 AM

Redskins haven't played anyone either Houlihan's. There is a reason why the Eagles are favored by this much and that is why I think they win by at least two td's tonight. Redskins cannot score and they are a mess in the coaching staff also. All the Eagles have to do is score 21 tonight and I do think they will cover because the Redskins cannot score.

infamousbacardi · 10-26-09, 09:59 AM

Yeah...I mean, you can't disagree with what your angle is here...but I can justify almost any bet in any angle, ever. I mean, If you want to look at why the Eagles SHOULD cover, you can make a long list too...mainly, they will be pretty heated off of last game debacle to Raiders...plus, if it comes down to Zorn v. Big Andy....Andy is one of the best coaches in the league for my money...I don't disagree w/ you, but I'd proceed slowly either way. Nice write up though! You can't argue with the stuff you laid out really...just saying, you could also approach from a different angle too....

HoulihansTX · 10-26-09, 10:23 AM

thanks fellas. As intelligent people, we can all agree that an argument is subjective in nature. It is only as good, as one wants to believe it is, seeing as their are always differing sides.

This is for those looking for a reason to back the Redskins tonite, as I am.

I like reading your writeup's HoulihansTX.
You do bring Logic to the Table.
And from there it's up to us as a Gambler to use our own judgement when we pull the Trigger and Wager.
Good Job!

Brewdogmike · 10-26-09, 10:42 AM

If the Redskins manage to score a touchdown, it will be a miracle.

I am leaning on teasing
wash +15
under 44

think it could be somewhat of a sloppy division game

chopperocker · 10-26-09, 11:08 AM

Washington Redskins +7½ 600 to win 545

Washington Redskins ML +255 600 to win 1,530

Redskins four losses have been by margins of, 6, 5, 3 ,8.

Their Defense is stout, and Haynesworth is supposed to come back tonite. He will be facing a Eagle O-Line that has one starter from its opener playing. The reson Eagles didn't play well against the Raiders was due to the Eagles O-Line being subpar, and Andy Ried not being able to establish a running game.

Redskins O-Line is a mess too, but they are facing a weak Eagles front seven.

Add the fact Redskins have been outgained by only 50 or more yards twice; Giants & Panthers. Given the ineptitude Redskins O has displayed this season, that stat is very impressive.

Redskins are home, and will refuse to be embarrassed on National TV.

Last 4 meetings margin of victory; By 7 Redskins, By 6 Redskins, By 8 Eagles, By 8 Redskins.

Another angle I've cooked up is the fact the favs went 8-3-1 Sunday.. Don't you guys think Vegas gets money back on SNF & MNF???

Redskins +9 w/ 37.5 UNDER

Gl to all

GREAT write up, good info, thanks!
Do you think the change in the Redskins play calling will be a plus or a minus or what?

docrocker · 10-26-09, 11:48 AM

Eagles Def will have at least one scoring drive...

Will the Skins go on a few drives, sure. They are a decent between the 20's ... but when they get into the red zone is where the play-caller and signal-caller both experience a rare, but devastating medical phenomenon ... tightening of the brown-eye.

No different tonight boys:
Eagles - 23
Skins - 11

ASH0479 · 10-26-09, 01:19 PM

Skins games have been close, but when your playing against garbage like

St. Louis
Detroit
Tampa
Carolina
Kansas City

These teams have a combined 3 wins on the season, 2 of them coming at the expense of the Skins

How hard can it be to keep a game close. 4 of those 5 defenses are ranked 22nd or worse in the NFL and the Skins scored a total of 62 points in those games...Philly is 3rd against the Rush in the NFL so I do not see the Skins having that much success in the running game, I honestly dont think they will score more than 10 points in this one...Offensive Line is terrible, QB position is a question mark, they have no Recievers...but they are a home dog on Monday night, but even with that, I dont think they have a chance here

I wouldnt call the 3rd ranked rushing defense a weak Front Seven....they are obviously doing something right...sure they gave up 40+ to the Saints, but who hasn't

so who have the eagles beaten so far?

Sharkl11 · 10-26-09, 01:31 PM

I'll do a small play on +8 Redskins, but will wait near the start of game to bet. I'll go the Underdog Monday Night route to justify my reason. I would have picked Eagles if they were fully healthy, but it is a divisional game and Redskins I hope can keep it close because they have good D.

DwightShrute · 10-26-09, 01:41 PM

Same opponents except they destroyed them 105 - 38

cs11787 · 10-26-09, 01:47 PM

Im fading the public tonight also and taking the Skins and the over. Afterall, it is MNF and we know teams can score on Monday nights! Good luck fellas!

og4667 · 10-26-09, 01:56 PM

How do the Eagles loose to the Raiders. AFter seeing what the Jets did against the raiders, how can you be comfortable backing the Eagles??? I know the redskins are BAD, but this line is up to 9 in some places. Can you really trust the Eagles to cover more than a touchdown?

DwightShrute · 10-26-09, 01:58 PM

who knows what Eagles team will show up tonight. The one that never gave a shit last week in Oakland, against the most pathetic excuse for a football team I have seem in over a decade?

They have lost to 2 good teams so far and destroyed 3 lousy teams. Whoopdy doo!

Divisional game, new offensive guy calling the plays and McNabb is one hit away from retirement and perhaps he is the most inconsistent QB this century. Looks like a Skins victory.

BrownTown · 10-26-09, 02:03 PM

Skins backers will overthink your way to a loss.

jellobiafra · 10-26-09, 02:08 PM

I'm a Redskins fan and I got on PHI -7 as soon as that line came out. I'm also on the under.

The Redskins may be the worst team in football right now. I don't know who they would beat. They lost at home to KC last week. I can understand thinking this might be a tight game, but how you can put money on a dogshit team like this is beyond me.

ZBOIZ · 10-26-09, 02:10 PM

Houlians Im thinking the same way but I like the OVER!

LOL, my Browns would kick you're Skins ass.
I can think of 5 teams the Skins would beat (Browns included). Only problem is the Eagles are not one of them.
