Kickoff: Monday, Sept 18th at TBD

Spread: Redskins(-15)
The Redskins took care of the Eagles in week 1 of the season by a score of 33-10 in which the Redskins converted on 60% of their third downs while sacking Carson Wentz 3 times. The Eagles look for payback as they welcome Washington to Philadelphia this time around.
Three Things To Watch 4:
1. The Colt McCoy Show
With the injury to Kirk Cousins, the keys are turned over to Colt Mccoy on the offense. The Redskins currently have the 2nd ranked scoring offense(36.0 ppg) in the league, and one would certainly expect a bit of a decline with McCoy running the show. McCoy did play well against the 49ers last week after Cousins went down completing 6 of 9 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown.
2. The return of Terrelle Pryor.
Terrelle Pryor managed to catch just 2 passes on the year before going down with broken ribs that sidelined him up to this point. McCoy will certainly welcome Pryor back as will the other receivers who have, at points, been double covered due to the lack of respect to receivers further down on the Washington depth chart.
3. Will one of Washington's running backs step up to the plate?
Washington has had decent production out of 2 of it's 3 running backs that it has used routinely, but nobody has gotten concrete carries with the split being nearly 50/50 as Chris Thompson has 49 attempts and Robert Kelley has 58 attempts. Samaje Perine has 26 attempts and 5 touchdowns on the year, 3 of which came in week 1 against the Eagles. Thompson & Kelly combine for 5 touchdowns between the two of them. Will the Redskins continue to rotate this three back system, or will one step up and force the teams hand on giving them more carries.
