FYI - the 2nd half game thread is scheduled for 2:35pm.
Predictions: I liked the Eagles earlier in the week but the fact the line moved a full 3 points in favor of Philly (-2) made me re-consider hard. As bad as the Redskins have been the last three years, we've still split our last 6 games. The easier bet is the over/under. The Eagles are obviously going to change their defensive front, and the Redskins defense as we know is solid. Our offense will chew up clock like it always does. My prediction is the under (47) is a great bet.
