Weekly upset special

Alright everybody, after last week's confusion I am back and better than ever.  I have a fearless forecast for this week's upset special, I feel really good about it, so here it is.  I want you to take the Eagles over Washington outright.  I know the game is in Washington, and the Redskins beat them in Philly, but in that game Philadelphia had 3 drives stall inside the 10 settling for three short field goals, as well as a drive end on downs inside the 10.  They were able to move the ball, just unable to convert on third down.  The Redskins were able to keep Jason Campbell pretty clean that game allowing only one sack, which I don't think will happen again, as the Eagles are averaging 2.5 per game.  Brian Westbrook was responsible for 162 total yards the first time around and there's no reason to believe he won't again be the main offensive weapon.  Donovan McNabb is swirled in controversy right now as to who should the Eagles start at quarterback and he has always come out swinging when cornered or questioned, which I think points to a big game for him.  The Redskins will be without Carlos Rogers in the secondary, replacing him with the less talented Fred "sexboat" Smoot, going against a number 11 passing offense which has had 7 plays of 40 or more yards, which is more than New England or Indianapolis(traling only Houston with 9, and the ageless one Brett Favre and the Pack with 10).  Washington would like to run it as that is what they do best offensively, but Philly is 7th against the run and Portis had only 69 yards the first meeting.  I just believe that the Redskins are catching Philly at a bad time and when it's all said and done, the Eagles will control tempo of this game and force the Redskins out of their comfort zone.  Look for the Eagles to upset Washington and win outright.

Last week's result: the pick:Minnesota over San Diego, the outcome: Minnesota 35-San Diego 17

For the year: 3-3
