Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Redskins
Game Date/Time: Monday, November 15, 8:35 ET
Game Location: FedEx Field, Washington, DC
TV/Radio Broadcast: ESPN, Westwood One
NFL Football Odds: Philadelphia Eagles (-3) -125 vs. Washington Redskins (+3) +105: Over/Under 43

Philadelphia (5-3) picked up a big home win last week against the Indianapolis Colts but a late Colts touchdown following a ‘phantom’ call against Peyton Manning left many football betting backers of the Eagles disappointed and disgusted. Washington should be ready for their division rival, as the Redskins are rested off their bye week, and quarterback Donovan McNabb gets a second shot at his former team.

Donovan McNabb and the Redskins beat the Eagles 17-12 in Week 4 this season as a football betting underdog. Washington jumped out to a 14-0 first quarter lead and held off quarterback Kevin Kolb and the Eagles for a low-scoring win. McNabb was just 8-for-19 and had 125 passing yards in that contest, and he’s been battling behind a suspect offensive lines going through shuffling, changes and little continuity. Washington (4-4) has lacked an identify on offense as head coach Mike Shanahan likes to run the football, and the lack of solid line play has limited the running game. So too has the running back position, as the Redskins had to turn to a scout team running back Ryan Torain with injuries to Clinton Portis. The lack of ground game and consistent passing success will hurt the Redskins and their football betting backers this week.

Philadelphia has too many offensive weapons and Michael Vick is back to starting at quarterback to give the Eagles more mobility and playmaking options. Vick and the Eagles offense struggled in the red zone last week settling for three field goals inside the Colts 10 yard line. But more football betting success is expected this week against a Washington defense that has been among the very worst in the league allowing 393 yards per game. The Eagles should have plenty of success moving the ball with smooth running back LeSean McCoy able to slash and speed his way against a Redskins run defense allowing 4.6 yards per rush to rank #26 in the NFL. McCoy is a big threat in the passing game as well, catching short screens and passes while leading the Eagles in receptions. Big play receivers DeSean Jackson is an electric home run threat with exceptional speed and game breaking ability. Combined with wide receiver Jeremy Macklin, quarterback Vick should have plenty of options for football betting success.

NFL Insider Tip: The road team is 6-1-1 ATS the last eight meetings. Philadelphia coach Andy Reid is 31-15 ATS away with revenge, including 14-5 ATS against division opponents. Reid and the Eagles are 6-0 ATS on the division road on Monday night match-ups. Washington is 0-9 SU and ATS their last nine Monday night home games. Washington is the only NFL team to lose the stats (total yardage) in every game they played this season, and they are most likely to be out-gained by the Eagles again setting up a football betting winner on Philadelphia.

Week 8 NFL Betting Predictions: 4 NFL Picks Worth Wagering On October 31st 2010

October 30, 2010 By

NFL WEEK 8 NFL PICKS PREDICTIONS OCTOBER 31ST 2010We’re almost at the halfway mark of the Football Betting season! How’s your bankroll looking? If not to good, take a gander at these NFL Week 8 Predictions to help you add to it!

Washington Redskins vs. Detroit Lions
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 ET
Game Location: Ford Field, Detroit, MI
TV/Radio Broadcast: FOX, Sirius
NFL Odds: Washington Redskins (+3) -120 vs. Detroit Lions (-3) +100: Over/Under 45

We came away hardly impressed with the Redskins lackluster 17-14 win at Soldier Field against the Chicago Bears last week. Donovan McNabb threw for just 200 yards and was picked off twice, and it took a four interception outing from DeAngelo Hall and a terrible non-call for the Skins just to escape with the three-point win. Detroit enters this spot well rested coming off their bye, and now gets Matthew Stafford back into the mix after going down in Week 1 with a shoulder sprain. The Skins lost in this venue last season, and already went into a dome stadium on the road and got plastered by the St. Louis Rams this season. With the Lions 3-0-1 ATS the L/4 times they were installed home chalk up to three points, be sure to add Detroit to your list of NFL Week 8 predictions. Slam the Lions!

Miami Dolphins vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 ET
Game Location: Paul Brown Stadium, Cincinnati, OH
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Sirius
NFL Odds: Miami Dolphins (+1.5) -110 vs. Cincinnati Bengals (-1.5) -110: Over/Under 44

I will continue to pick on the Bengals every week until this overhyped team shows me they’re ready to hang with big boys and play to their potential. With just two wins under their belt on the year, the Bengals enter this Week 8 showdown with a very pissed off Dolphins outfit that was robbed of a potential victory at home against the Steelers last week. To make matters worse for the Bengals in this spot is the fact that Miami has won all three of its road games this season, while dropping all three at home to solid opposition. Now two games back in the AFC East and losers of both tiebreakers, this is a game the fins must have to keep pace with both the Jets and Patriots. While the Bengals aren’t entirely out of it, I just don’t see them ever catching the Ravens. Cincy might look the part of a team in an ideal bounce back scenario, but don’t let them fool you, be sure to have the dolphins as part of your Week 8 NFL predictions. Slam the Dolphins!

Buffalo Bills vs. Kansas City Chiefs
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 31st, 1:00 ET
Game Location: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO
TV/Radio Broadcast: CBS, Sirius
NFL Odds: Buffalo Bills (+7.5) vs. Kansas City Chiefs (-7.5): Over/Under 46

So, JQP opened the paper and saw that Buffalo racked up over 500 yards against the Baltimore Ravens vaunted defense last week. After reading it, they threw their money down on the Bills at (+9) and though they got a steal. Not so fast my friend! The Bills flat out stink and will by no means be up for another out of division road contest after leaving it all out on the field and still coming up short in overtime. Almost the same scenario presented itself earlier this season when the Bills returned home off a competitive game at New England to face the Jets. NY pasted them 38-14 that day, and the game wasn’t even as close as the final score. As long as oddsmakers continue to undervalue the Chiefs, I will be there to pounce. Kansas City must be a part of your Week 8 NFL predictions as they should be no less than double-digit favorites in this spot! Slam the Chiefs!

Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Arizona Cardinals
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 31st, 4:15 ET
Game Location: Phoenix Stadium, Phoenix, AZ
TV/Radio Broadcast: FOX, Sirius
NFL Odds: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (+3) +100 vs. Arizona Cardinals (-3) -120: Over/Under 39

Both squads enter this Week 8 NFL predictions battle in second place of their respective divisions. That said; which one of these do you truly believe has the gusto to actually win the division or qualify for the Wild Card? Neither, yeah me too. But seriously, am I to believe this Bucs squad can’t go into the desert and steal a win much like they did at Cincinnati? Zona prides itself on forcing turnovers and limiting its mistakes. With the Bucs only coughing it up five times offensively, it more than likely means the Cardinals will have to earn this one themselves. Not gonna happen, so back the Bucs as they shockingly move to 5-2 on the year. Slam the Buccaneers!

Indianapolis Colts vs. Washington Redskins Point Spread & Prediction: October 17th 2010

October 17, 2010 By

The Colts travel to the nation’s capital to take on the Redskins in a Sunday night showcase at FedEx Field. Washington picked up a dramatic overtime win at home last week to hold off the Packers 16-13 despite being out-rushed 154 to 49. When you bet on NFL games, rushing dominance is a strong indicator of point spread success.

Yet the Redskins were able to overcome that negative discrepancy last week and both these teams are among the worst in the NFL running the football. Expect plenty of passing this week from a pair of veteran quarterbacks that can find their mark.

Indianapolis Colts vs. Washington Redskins
Game Date/Time: Sunday, October 17, 8:20 ET
Game Location: FedEx Field, Washington, DC
TV/Radio Broadcast: NBC

NFL Football Odds: Indianapolis Colts (-3) -120 vs. Washington Redskins (+3) +100: Over/Under 44

The Colts (3-2) scored their only touchdown of the game late in the fourth quarter last week to win 19-9. If you bet on NFL games and Indianapolis last week, you picked up a fortunate point spread cover against KC. But late scores when needed are nothing new for Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, who should have a big day against Washington’s #31 ranked pass defense.

Washington (3-2) has struggled in the running game as back-up castoff Ryan Torain has taken over as the starter with Clinton Portis out with a groin injury. The Colts are also banged up at running back although Joseph Addai is expected to start while nursing a sore shoulder.

Peyton Manning is averaging 322 passing yards per game and 7.4 yards per pass attempt.

With 11 touchdowns and just two interceptions in five games, Manning is the best bet on NFL quarterback in the league. Manning and the Colts trio of wide receivers and top tight end should have great success against the Redskins pass defense allowing 298 yards per game and 65 percent completions.

The Redskins have grappled with injuries and turnover on the offensive line throughout the season. A lack of cohesion has hurt the running game and quarterback Donovan McNabb will be under pressure while passing often against the Colts. Indianapolis has their own injury issues in the secondary, which is depleted at the safety position.

When you bet on NFL games it’s important to find match-ups that expose weakness and both these teams should attack through the air with secondary concerns.

Washington has beaten Dallas, Philadelphia and Green Bay this season, all as underdogs. But after allowing the Packers to pile up 427 yards offense last week (395 in regulation) at 6.9 yards per play, it appears they will have trouble controlling the leagues best passer and a Colts offense capable of moving the ball all day through the air.

NFL Insider Tip: Washington is allowing 298 passing yards per game. The Redskins allowed 282 passing yards to Tony Romo, 497 passing yards to Matt Schaub and 293 passing yards to Aaron Rogers. Now they face the NFL’s most precise and best passer Peyton Manning and Redskins opponents are passing 65 percent of the time against Washington. Colts games have gone ‘over’ the total in seven of their last nine regular season contests.

Though the ‘under’ has cashed in 13 of Washington’s L/18 home games, this year’s stop unit is hardly formidable. The bet on NFL move to make in this Sunday Night thriller is on the over as both Manning and McNabb light up the D.C sky!

My NFL Predictions: Indianapolis/Washington Over 44

Indianapolis Colts vs. Washington Redskins Pick: October 17th 2010

October 15, 2010 By

Indianapolis Colts vs. Washington Redskins
Pick: Indianapolis Colts -3
CLICK HERE FOR EXPERT FOOTBALL PICKS

Washington comes into this matchup after experiencing 2 tough road battles with Philadelphia and Green Bay. The Redskins return home a tired squad. They rank 24th in PPG (17.8) and 25th in Rush YPG (88.6). QB Donovan McNabb is still a threat, but only with his arm. He is not the rusher he once was. RB Clinton Portis is out and outside of WR Santana Moss, the ‘Skins are lacking in their receiving corps. On the defensive side, Washington is ranked 30th against the pass, giving up 298 YPG in the air. They must face Peyton Manning and the 3rd ranked scoring offense in the NFL. Manning did not throw either for 300 YP or a TD last week in the squads victory over KC. A bad game is rare for the QB, let alone 2 in a row. QB Matt Schaub threw for 497 yards and 3 TDs against the Redskins a month ago. Indianapolis will have RB Addai and WR Garcon in the lineup to add to the vast offensive arsenal. LB Clint Session is also back and healthy. A spent Washington team is due for a letdown while the Colts gallop. Washington is 5-12 ATS their L17 games played at home and 0-4-1 ATS their L5 games played in week 6. Indianapolis is 11-4-1 ATS their L16 games played on the road and 7-1-1 ATS their L9 vs. teams with a winning record. Take Indy. Thank you. -Joseph D’Amico

Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins Pick & Odds: September 12th 2010

September 10, 2010 By

Dallas Cowboys vs. Washington Redskins
Pick: Under 40 Points -110 odds
CLICK HERE FOR MIKE’S EXPERT NFL PICKS FOR WEEK 1

The Cowboys return one of the nastiest stop units in the league. Head coach Wade Phillips’ defense ranked 9th in yards allowed (315.9 YPG), 4th against the run (90.5 YPG), and 2nd in points allowed (15.6 PPG). It also terrorized opposing quarterbacks dropping them 49 overall times. Where they did falter however was against the pass where they allowed an average of 22.5 YPG (#20).

Washington grossly underachieved throughout the Jim Zorn era, and because of it, Owner Daniel Snyder lured Mike Shanahan out of retirement with the hope that he can infuse some offensive magic into a unit that averaged less than 17 PPG each of the L/2 seasons.

As bad as Washington’s offense was last season, the guys on the other side of the ball represented the franchise very well. LB London Fletcher and company ended up ranking 10th in YPG allowed (319.7 YPG), 16th against the run (112.4 YPG), 9th against the pass (207.2 YPG), and 18th in points allowed (21 PPG). It also got solid pressure on opposing QBs accumulating 40 sacks on the year.

When these division rivals hook up, you’re pretty much guaranteed a defensive minded contest. The ‘under’ has cashed in four of the L/5 meetings with it coming in twice last season. Dallas’ offense struggled immensely throughout the pre-season, and I think it’s going to need another game or two before reaching its potential. The Redskins won’t just automatically get it their first time out either; especially against Big D’s stop unit. Expect a low scorer in the first SNF game of the season.

Mike Rose enters the 2010-11 NFL betting season in the midst of a 43-30 ATS streak! He’s got a HUGE day planned on Sunday with his 5* NFC GOW and 6* RABID DAWG GOW (9-1 ATS L/10). These are must NOT MISS Week 1 Positions – SLAM YOUR MAN!
