Much has been made of Donovan McNabb’s return to Philadelphia but NFL odds are that he and everybody else feel that this is just another spirited. The NFC East is typically tight this season and a loss largely either team will have divisional implications active forward.

The Washington Redskins certainly improved their team in the offseason but is certainly hasn’t impressed the NFL Oddsmakers. Undeterred by Donovan McNabb’s arrival, the fact remains that the Skins still have an aging set of playmakers on offense. Add in the fact that the defense has been miserable so farther this mellow and the reality is that Washington still doesn’t have a contender.
McNabb has been just OK so far and has the Redskins passing game ranked 7th. The aging firm of receivers is doing their job but the Redskins are still void of a big-time playmaker in their offense. The running game anchored by another fading unrivalled, Clinton Portis, ranks 28th with an uninspiring 74.3 yards per game average.
Washington’s real problem is on the defensive side of the ball. Their passing defense is ranked second last in the NFL and the whole squad is currently last in total yards allowed. The lowly Rams were able to put an bring to an end to a 14 game losing streak pattern week generally putting up an uncharacteristic 30 points in spite of an injury to their only trusted playmaker, Steven Jackson.
The Philadelphia Eagles have a new offensive leader in township and surprisingly it’s not Kevin Kolb. Michael Vick has defied the NFL Odds and has stolen the starting quarterback point of view away. In two and a half games he has accounted for seven touchdowns (six fondness and individual rushing). Vick’s resurgence can be attributed to a solid receiving corp. – something that he’s never quite had in his NFL career.
The running game behind LeSean McCoy has been equally effective this season. Just the threat of Michael Vick’s array of talents has opened up holes that only a younger Donovan McNabb could fool exploited.
If there is one wake up c impregnate on the Eagles so far, it is the defense that has been giving up yards and scores this season. They are not exactly the elite group that Coach Andy Reid is comfortable with and could at bottom do the groundwork to a less-than-stellar ride on Sunday.
