Philadelphia Eagles
Washington hosts Philly in this NFC East rivalry, and if we’re being fair, this one’s a toss-up. Oddsmakers are giving the Eagles a three-point edge, but after the way Chip Kelly’s crew played the first two games of the season nobody really knows what to expect on Sunday.
Washington’s defense is sound up front and has an excellent chance of shutting down Philadelphia’s eerily-inept rushing attack. Should this occur, then does anyone have faith in quarterback Sam Bradford to win this one with his arm? In three games, he’s been downright atrocious, passing for 678 yards with three touchdowns and four interceptions.
And, while it’s true his counterpart Kirk Cousins isn’t exactly the next Peyton Manning, Washington’s ground-and-pound rushing attack — featuring Alfred Morris and Matt Jones — should be able to make hay at home, despite the outstanding run defense of the Eagles. If Cousins manages to minimize his mistakes, then the home team will come away with the victory.
