The Eagles vs. Redskins Monday Night Football odds were hovering between -3 and -3.5 as of Sunday evening. More than 75 percent of those betting this game were on the favored Eagles. 90 percent were on the OVER 42.5 total.
The 5-3 Eagles will face off against the 4-4 Skins. Washington coach Mike Shanahan benched McNabb late in the game, replacing him with Rex Grossman, who was promptly sacked. The Redskins lost to Detroit. Shanahan said after the game that McNabb was pulled because Grossman had a better understanding of the team's two-minute offense.
Regarding the sore hamstrings, Shanahan said: "Right now, he's improved from last week, but by no means is he full speed yet," Mike Shanahan said. "As we go later in the week, I'll get a feel exactly where he's at, but right now I can't tell you if he could go full speed."
Though Philadelphia lost to Washington in their first meeting of the season, Eagles quarterback Michael Vick has put up better numbers than McNabb. He has thrown for 1,017 yards, seven touchdowns and no interceptions, and he has an NFL-leading passer rating of 105.3, which is the highest of his career.
