Can David Akers kick Craig Fritz into an 0-2 hole? Can Reno Mahe field a punt? Can Andy Reid call any creative offensive plays? Tune in tonight and find out!! Tonight is Monday Night. And it's also Redskins-Eagles night. It's certainly the most tame out of our division rivalries, but still, one to take seriously. And any time we could be two games behind the Cowboys and the Redskins in the division by Tuesday morning, well, it's time to nut up or shut up.

It's also nut up or shut up time for two fantasy squads tonight. One game is still hanging in the balance, and we'll break it down to see who's got the edge.

Game 1: Craig (Brian Westbrook and a 7.9 point lead) vs. Melvin (Donovan McNabb and David Akers)
Game 1: Craig (Brian Westbrook and a 7.9 point lead) vs. Melvin (Donovan McNabb and David Akers)
Analysis - McNabb and Akers will certainly have their chances in this one. The offense should be embarrassed and motivated after the debacle at Green Bay, so I'm not sure we'll see Philadelphia struggle to put points up tonight. The question for this game though, is who will be the recipient of McNabb's tosses? If Reggie Brown and Kevin Curtis can establish a rhythym against the Redskins corners, than Melvin wins this game. But if McNabb has to rely on dumpoffs to Westbrook, then McNabb's points are negated. My prediction is that the David Akers points make the difference here and Melvin steals a win.

All of the other games appear to be set in stone. Jordan could upset Slimmy if the defense pitches a shutout and returns some picks for touchdowns, but realistically speaking, Slimmy with a 21.4 point lead and Clinton Portis should roll to victory. Let's just hope our Birds can do the same. My Monday Night Prediction: Eagles 24, Redskins 14

My only comment is a question in personal reflection. Why the eff did I keep Olindo Mare after that week 1 effort? My kicker has scored 1 point in 2 weeks. EFF HIM. This one should be locked up.
The only way I can win Pick 'em is if the 'skins win. So: 23-21 'Skins.
How cold and calculating of you, Craig. Your team spirit reminds me of your hairy team's previous efforts - weak to begin with, and taking the night regardless.
Well damn, my inability to post any sort of hate upon others is constantly marred by postings rife with typos. P.S. any of you guys coming to PSU sometime this season/year. There's a free floor at my place open for sleeping on more or less whenever.
I'd rather eat Adam's egg stuff than stay at your place, Slimmy.
Eagles 3, Skins 2.
That actually works out for the best because I forgot to mention earlier that only people who don't suck at life are allowed at my place - immediately disqualifying you.
And no, Slimmy, I will not trade you Gates for Portis, Ladell Betts and Heath Miller.
