Take the Skins +6.5 @ the Eagles (Vick vs. McNabb)

aman86 · 10-01-10, 01:38 AM

So this one falls into the "it's due theory"
Just bc it's in division means Philly can't cover, come on get real, perhaps if the underdog was at home but these teams r on two diff levels

Safe pick, quite

Not touching this game. Washington has the worst defense in the league right now, but Philly notoriously plays down to the opposition. I have no clue which way this one goes, but my gut (as a Skins fan) says PHI covers.

I'm not a fan of either team but I agree with you.

Eagles are too fast for the aging and slow Skins...-5' is a bargain. Lock it in now or pay a higher price later.

Baxter Man13 · 10-01-10, 02:26 PM

mcnabb vs reid, not vick

eagles -5.5 is a steal

dont say I did not warn you

VIC THREW THE BALL ON 2 OF THE WORST PASS D's IN THE NFL!!!!

1) stop saying the eagles d is amazing, look who they played and almost lost to.

2) If you are so concerned with skins losing to rams, then ask yourself this, if you were about to play the biggest game of the year a week after you play the shittiest teams, do you really think you would be as focused??? rams really arent that bad.

3) Mcnabb has been playing against philis d for years! The eagles D is not very good hate to break it to you. Not to mention they are 20th verses the run.

im not saying skins d is much better, but these 2 teams are even if anything. giving 6 to the skins is a joke. its that high because everyone is riding the vic bandwagon train

Eagles D is improving...but yet, explain game one VS the packers when Vick came into play with no game plan and almost brought a W into the eagles locker room....

SBR_John · 10-01-10, 03:05 PM

I like the bet but like the Over even better.

McNabb can't do it all. The defense keeps wash in poor field position. I could see another 400 yard passing game in a losing effort. Vick will love going against this clammy defense so cant get overly excited about the +6.

yes but...the jags were and they still got slammed...Vick is the real deal, people need to just deal with it and think outside the box

Exactly. This isn't a fan forum, it's a betting forum. And since yur low on points, I'll give you 20 points if PHI don't cover.

Here is my write up on the game.

All week people will be focusing on Mcnabb vs Vick. This is a great storyline that will sell a lot of papers and receive a lot of hits, but a closer look at this game reveals quite a few mismatches in PHI's favor. Perhaps the most important will be the PHI passing game against the WSH passing defense. A lot more was expected out of this defense this season, but so far they have been inconsistent at best. There is still time to turn it around, but losing to a rebuilding STL team on the road is embarrassing.

Now WSH have the reward of going into a hostile environment and slowing down one of the NFL's hottest offenses. They will have to pick their poison because if they want to load up on DB's in coverage, Vick and McCoy will shread them up the lanes. Spying Vick will leave one on one mismatches elsewhere on the field. WSH should have a special teams advantage in this game, but they lost their punter to injury in STL. I've already lost 3 picks this season thanks to special team play so I'm not about to overlook this aspect of the game, but WSH don't have the benefit of playing at home. Any big plays they get in the return/coverage game won't give them the kind of momentum it would behind a home crowd. Instead, WSH should be worrying about sustaining drives and coming away with points. They are horrendous on 3rd down, can't control the clock, and Portis is going to the ground instead of taking hits to protect his bad hand. Expect to see more of rookie Ryan Torain.

Vick may get all the headlines after PHI win this game, but the real story should be their defense. Mcnabb will be alone on an island trying to exercise his demons. He'll be playing 11 players that have patiently waited a long time to see him in a game jersey instead of a red practice jersey. The blitzes will be coming every other play and Mcnabb will wish he had half the escapability that Vick does. They will also be praying that LT Williams is healthy enough to start. If not, Mcnabb's blindside will be overloaded all day.

good write up.

AmpleGamble · 10-01-10, 05:05 PM

Skins + the points for the win

Nomocino · 10-01-10, 05:14 PM

yea thats to many points these teams always play close games

DaProfessor23 · 10-01-10, 05:19 PM

i wouldnt take the redskins unless the devil himself made me...eagles win by atleast 7

scarp · 10-01-10, 05:31 PM

Still think they will keep it within 7

mike1814 · 10-01-10, 05:32 PM

oh yes.

i'll take mcnabb over vick all day.

knelson · 10-01-10, 06:40 PM

Like the write-up but hopefully the skins can win this not just cover the spread

stealthyburrito · 10-01-10, 06:55 PM

great write up bro, i'm with ya on this one

emoney · 10-01-10, 08:08 PM

I have a system that produces one play each week.

It is 3-0 so far.

This week the play is Washington.

EBDOGGN · 10-01-10, 09:06 PM

I know its a bit off topic but what do you guys think of skins +16 on a tease?? imo thats pretty safe, even if your leaning eagles.

lakerboy · 10-01-10, 11:45 PM

skins play well in philly most of the time

phillybadboy · 10-01-10, 11:52 PM

43 Under looks allright

jayroy25 · 10-02-10, 12:05 AM

The last few times these teams met i believe the underdog covered

fox sixers · 10-02-10, 12:57 AM

does anybody actually think redskins win this game? I am thinking of putting eagles in a parlay ml...

fox sixers · 10-02-10, 01:00 AM

just saying. I really do not feel you can go by past trends for this game.. this is a totally different redskins team with a 3-4 defense and mcnabb.. and with vick and up and coming young eagles defense.. totally diff eagles than past years

LostBankroll · 10-02-10, 04:47 AM

Skins pull out the win 17-13

krazey47409 · 10-02-10, 12:27 PM

mike vick show tommoroww skins suck

Crayzee · 10-02-10, 07:23 PM

if your gonna play a +6.5 you really should buy up to 7

r8rrich12 · 10-02-10, 09:00 PM

The Redskins rank dead last in the NFL in converting third downs.
Redskins opponents have only been forced to punt 2 times through three games.

You can thank Vick's ribs for these 20 points.

Enjoy.

It wasn't a great start, but WSH did nothing the rest of the way. Who knows what would have happened if Vick didn't get hurt, but it's all irrelevant now. Cheers.
