The Philadelphia Eagles may have finished in last place in the NFC East last season, but at least they were able to develop a quarterback that should take them into the future. Carson Wentz arrives for his “sophomore” season in a game against the Washington Redskins, which will begin at 1 PM ET on Sunday at FedEx Field in Landover, MD.

Online NFL Odds – A Look at the Philadelphia Eagles:
Wentz was put in a difficult position when, having lost some time in rookie training camp with injuries, he was virtually anointed as the starting quarterback with the trade of Sam Bradford to the Minnesota Vikings. And he was not only handcuffed by a ground game which did not produce enough, but also lacked genuine receiving talent. Some of that will change this season. The Eagles went out and acquired Alshon Jeffrey, who was a standout wide receiver with the Chicago Bears, and they also have LeGarrette Blount, the bruising running back who played for New England last season, in the backfield. Also, a couple of promising rookies in Corey Clement and Donnell Pumphrey led depth of the backfield.
It is very important that the Eagles protect Wentz. Obviously that goes without saying, but there are some things that have to come together on the offensive line, including the idea that left tackle Jason Peters might be on the decline. And if Lane Johnson can come back from a rough 2016 season in which he had to sit out a drug suspension, that helps the running game immeasurably. Wentz also has Torrey Smith, a big-play threat, as a new addition, so he should be more productive. Last year he threw for 16 touchdowns but was intercepted 14 times, and his passes went for only 6.2 yards per attempt. He had to get rid of the ball quickly, but this season he might be able to move down the field with more strikes.
Online NFL Odds – A Look at the Washington Redskins:
The Redskins have a well-conceived offense that has allowed Kirk Cousins to put up some big numbers. Cousins threw for 4917 yards last season, with an 8.1-yard average. But here’s the thing – he loses both of his 1000-yard receivers, as Pierre Garcon and DeSean Jackson have left. Can the Redskins get the same kind of effort out of people like Terrelle Pryor (with Cleveland last year) and second-year man Josh Doctson? These are genuine questions to be asked by VietBet patrons. And let’s not forget that Philadelphia got stronger in the secondary by acquiring the outstanding cornerback Ron Darby from Buffalo. He will cover either Pryor or Jamison Crowder.
The Washington ground game was adequate last season, and they hope that Samaje Perrine, who looked like Superman in his freshman season at Oklahoma but then went into a bit of a decline, can provide some answers. Frankly, we are not sure what to expect out of this year’s version of the Redskins, but we do know that it’s a good thing the Eagles have a couple of threatening wide receivers this season, because otherwise Josh Norman might be able to shut the whole passing game down.
