Monday Night Football: Eagles Favored by 6 1/2

The 0-1 Philadelphia Eagles are favored by 6 1/2 points at home against the 1-0 Washington Redskins.  The Eagles, coming off a subpar performance against the Packers last weekend, look to rebound against a team they have dominated in recent years.  The Eagles have won 9 of the last 11 meetings between these two teams, including a 27-3 blowout win last season in Philadelphia.  Since that loss, Jason Campbell has taken over the starting QB position for the Redskins and has posted a record of 3-5, including an overtime win against the Dolphins last week.  The Eagles are  generally overrated as is their quarterback, but I believe they have enough firepower and defense to cover the spread at home against a below-average opponent.  The Redskins were 1-5 against the NFC East last season.  I don’t see much improvement this season.  Take the Eagles -6 1/2.
