Washington Redskins vs. Philadelphia Eagles Odds and Trends

This will be the most anticipated football betting game of the week as Redskins quarterback, Donovan McNabb returns to Philadelphia, where he spent most of his career as he Eagles gun slinger.

He is likely to get a warm reception, but with the Eagles fans, its hard to tell. The Eagles seem to have a quarterback they like in Michael Vick. He is officially the starter of the Eagles and has put up excellent numbers in an Eagles uniform.
