The Philadelphia Eagles failed to live up to the hype generated during an impressive pre-season, losing their first two games to Atlanta and Dallas. They bounced back last Sunday with a win over the Jets, and they face one of the worst teams in the NFL this week. This looks like a fantastic opportunity to get back to .500, with a win over a terrible Redskins team.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Kirk Cousins - The Washington quarterback threw for 316 yards in the loss to New York last week, but he was picked off twice, and threw just one TD pass. He's thrown four picks and just three TD passes after the first three weeks.

2. Washington Secondary - The Redskins defense comes in a little banged up, they could be without both their starting corners against the Eagles. DeAngelo Hall was injured last week against the Giants, and he will not play this week. Chris Culliver is listed as questionable with a sore knee.

3. X-Factor - The Redskins are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 home games, while the Eagles have covered the spread in four of their last five versus teams with a winning record.


Selection: This is a play on the Philadelphia Eagles (8*)
