Why Philadelphia Will Win

The Football Team’s offensive line should be more than okay. It’s not going to dominate the Philadelphia defensive front, but it should be able to hold its own.

Adrian Peterson has been released, and Derrius Guice is done after alleged off-field incidents in his past. Gibson is a flash of lightning out of Memphis who’ll work behind a decent Washington line, but the pressure is on to take the pressure off Haskins from the start.

What’s Going To Happen

Washington will be good enough on the lines to hang around, but Philadelphia’s defense will hold when it has to, and a healthy Carson Wentz will rise up and be sharp with the fan base wanting to see what Jalen Hurts can do. It’ll be a good-looking performance for the Eagles.
