Les Bowen's Eagles-Redskins Pick
TWO 3-6 TEAMS starting rookie quarterbacks. I guess I'll take the QB who has been starting all season over the one making his first start, especially since Robert Griffin III is at home, and Nick Foles will be working in a hostile environment, behind a bad offensive line.

I like Foles. I think he'll throw at least one touchdown pass. But I also think he's likely to throw at least one ill-timed pick, and that will be the point where the Eagles' fragile defense crumples like Kleenex. If you're tempted to pick the Birds, just picture this scenario: RG3 flushes from the pocket. There's plenty of open space ahead of him, since Jason Babin's rush took him 5 yards past the QB, but Nnamdi Asomugha has an angle to make the stop . . .
Yeah.
Prediction: Redskins 20, Eagles 16.
