The Redskins or Washington Football team are lucky to be in the NFC East. They might not be winners, they might not get to the super bowl. They are definitely fans of a team that while being an underdog can still win their conference. Not every NFL football team can say that even as a below .500 team after week 13… they still can win enough to win the division. Any NFL week can make it happen. That’s something all Americans in the United States can get behind… win and you can stay. Yes, they are losers… but they can stop that now with some wins.
The Eagles are exactly in the same place as the Redskins. They beat the New York Jets in their last game, the cellar dwellers of the AFC… and they are still relevant if they keep winning. No one cares about the final score or if there is still a team in Oakland or how many wagers they busted… Winning from here on in can get playoffs… which can lead to dreams fulfilled. Yes, they are losers but they can stop that now with some wins.
Winning the "Big Plays" is THE goal. This 38-year vet has done "just that" these last four weekends. He won his CFB Game of the Year 11/20 (Mia-Fl), then followed with B2B "Signature" CFB wins on 11/27 (LEGEND with LSU) and on 12/4 (38-Club with Pitt). He moved to the NFL in Week 14, winning his Game of the Year on Dallas, and for Week 15, it's a LEGEND Play. FIVE in a row?! Get Larry Ness’s picks!!....
