This is a statement game for Donovan McNabb. It is his chance to prove the Eagles organization wrong for trading him and making him the scapegoat for the Eagles not winning a Super Bowl. No one likes to feel unappreciated and after 11 years of hard work and sacrifice the city of Philadelphia threw Donovan McNabb out with the bath water.
This game is his opportunity for redemption and although Donovan carries himself with class and dignity, deep down you know the circumstances of his departure has left a bitter taste in his mouth. His hall of fame resume goes virtually unnoticed and his accomplishments while in Philadelphia don't receive the acknowledgement they deserve. McNabb will have a Stonehenge size chip on his shoulder going into this game and the Redskins will win this contest 31-29. Here are some bonus picks from Cleavie the Greek:
Oregon over Stanford. Even without Masoli Oregon looks poised and ready to play for a national championship. Stanford is a formidable opponent, but they're a little overrated. Beating Notre Dame isn't that special these days.
New York over Chicago. The Giants are in crisis mode and this is a must win game. The emotions will run high as Tiki Barber will be inducted into the Giants ring of honor. Chicago is undefeated, but this is a tough game on the road and Cutler is due for a bad game.
Oakland over Houston. It's hard to pick a team as dysfunctional as the Raiders, but Andre Johnson is a little banged up and the Texans are still licking their wounds from the beating Dallas put on them last week. As long as it doesn't come down to a game winning field goal the Raiders will come out victorious.
