Redskins v/s Eagles Predictions

Skins win.

I always figure we will split the division against the other rivals, at the beginning of the year I thought we would beat Dallas twice now I'm at about 50/50 that happens. However the Eagles are another story. I was worried about them at the beginning of the season, now not so much.

You may want to reconsider that line of thinking. Skins are 19-42 against the division since 2002. In fact, the Skins are significantly better against non-divisional foes (49-59 in that time). I've made the point before that this is an indication of apathy among the players, as the difference between those numbers shows that the Skins don't step it up against rivals (to which I was accused of looking too much into statistics...)

That being said, because this is a divisional game, the Redskins are far more likely to lose.

Interesting piece of information from SmootSmack's arch nemesis Adam Schefter:

"Redskins have lost 8 straight games vs. rookie starting QBs, the longest streak since merger in 1970, via Elias Sports Bureau."

There are so many painful stats against us.


Well, we broke the home losing streak at 8 this season...lets kill this one too.

Let's just hope that the painful stats this week are Philly's -- like 3 INTs (1 pick 6), held to less than 50 yrds rushing, and we light them up like a f_ing Christmas tree and send them into an early offseason.

There's so much to hate in the NFC East, right? The Eagles and their fans are insufferable, the Giants fans are nearly as bad (beyond just the gloating, although there's a ton of that), and Dallas is clearly the root of all evil (led by Emperor Palpatin -- seriously, has anyone taken a picture of Jerry Jones and the Emperor together? Put a hood on JJ and you'd never tell the difference.) I really don't get the sense that any other division involves these kinds of rivalries, with the exception of the AFC North -- the Steelers/Ravens/Bengals hatred is pretty real).

Foles will throw several picks and be sacked countless times. I'm not worried about a thing. This 8 game streak doesn't mean squat. If a defense can topple a veteran then it can topple a rookie.
