PICK: EAGLES
Running back
Eagles: Brian Westbrook averaged 5.6 yards per carry vs. the 'Skins in Week 2. But they've tightened up their run defense considerably. With injuries at cornerback impacting Washington's coverage ability, Westbrook likely will be used a lot in the passing game to force the 'Skins out of the Cover-2.
Redskins: The Redskins clearly would like to pound the ball on the ground. In their five wins, they've averaged 37 rushing attempts. Clinton Portis is coming off his best game of the season, a 36-carry, 196-yard performance vs. the Jets.
PICK: EAGLES
Receiver
Eagles: The Redskins' corners had success jamming Kevin Curtis and Reggie Brown in Week 2, disrupting their routes and forcing Donovan McNabb to look elsewhere. With the 'Skins depleted at cornerback, Eagles likely will go with a lot of three- and four-wide receiver sets.
Redskins: WRs don't have a TD catch yet. Santana Moss has been slowed by a groin injury, but is starting to get healthy. He had his best game of the season in Week 2 (6 catches, 89 yards) vs. Eagles when he was able to exploit the taller Will James with his quickness.
PICK: REDSKINS
Offensive line
Eagles: Donovan McNabb's lack of mobility and reluctance to get rid of the ball has put added pressure on this unit and it has not responded all that well. The Redskins blitzed McNabb quite a bit in Week 2, and had success, registering three sacks and five pressures.
Redskins: The Redskins are without their starting RT (Jon Jansen) and RG (Randy Thomas). The replacements, Todd Wade and Jason Fabini, have struggled, which has had an impact on both the running and passing game, and forced them to use TE Chris Cooley as a blocker more than they'd like.
