Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles and Carson Wentz made all the right moves in a big win it many considered a tough opponent in the Broncos. More timely take aways and some aerial artistry from number 11 were the name of the game, as the Eagles defense was able to secure a timely pick and Wentz threw for 4 scores. The Broncos offense only produced a measly 226 yards. The Eagles now sit at 8-1 a top the entire league. And it’s no surprise Vegas has them as the odds on favorite to make it to Minnesota.
A Look Ahead
Next week the Eagles will enjoy their bye. The Birds will look to work even more with newly aquired running back Jay Ajayi. Philadelphia will try to prepare for their biggest game of the season a week 11 showdown with Dallas.
Washington Redskins
The Redskins were able to edge out the Seahawks for a week 9 win on the road. Kurt Cousins was mediocre but good enough, passing for 297 yards and 2 scores and a pair of interceptions. Chris Thompson was a big factor in the recieveing game, as he accumulated 4 grabs on 6 targets. With the 17-14 win the Skins keep pace in divison and keep their post season hopes alive.
A Look Ahead
The Redskins have a tough match up coming up Sunday afternoon against the Vikings. The Skins will have their work cut out for them as the Vikings are on a roll. As it stands they are a 1 point underdog.

Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys followed up a beat down of the Skins with another great performance, against the Chiefs. Running back Ezekiel Elliot‘s six game suspension has luckily been put off for yet another week. With Zeke in the line up he was able to eat his way to 93 yards rushing and touchdown.
A Look Ahead
Coming off a big win the Cowboys face a really good Falcons team. This should be a game Dallas could lose, evident by the fact they are a 3 point road underdog.
New York Giants
The G-Men finally got completely embarrassed in week 9. The Giants gave up 51 points and Orleans Darkwa only managed to picked up 71 yards on 16 carries against L.A. Things dont look to be getting any better in the city that never sleeps.
A Look Ahead
Coming up next on the schedule for New York is the 0-9 49ers. The 49ers are coming off another dismal loss and could be ripe for the picking. Evident by the fact the Giants are a 2.5 point favorite.
