Philadelphia Eagles vs Oakland Raiders NFL Odds Week 6: Donovan McNabb had little trouble directing the high-powered Philadelphia Eagles' offense in his return to the lineup last weekend. He likely won't face much resistance this week, either. McNabb looks to lead the Eagles to their third straight win Sunday when they visit the lowly Oakland Raiders, who try to avoid losing their fourth in a row.
The Eagle offense is potent enough to cover the spread so give the points and sit back and wonder how JaMarcus Russell is a starting quarterback in the NFL and maybe a coaches fight will break out on the Raider sideline. The NFL Odds Week 6 experts at online sportsbook Sportsbook.com have the Philadelphia Eagles -14 point favorites on the road against the Oakland Raiders.
McNabb didn't miss a beat in Philadelphia's 33-14 win over Tampa Bay last Sunday, completing 16 of 21 passes for 264 yards, with three touchdowns and a 157.2 QB rating, the second highest in his career. It was the first start for the five-time Pro Bowl quarterback since suffering a rib injury in a season-opening 38-10 win over Carolina.
Despite missing two games for the Eagles (3-1), McNabb showed little rust and didn't hesitate to run. He scrambled for 13 yards on his first play from scrimmage and fired a perfect 51-yard TD pass to Jeremy Maclin on the second. "I was able to move around and be very effective doing different things, pick up a couple first downs with my legs," said McNabb, who also rushed for a team-high 30 yards. "I was able to let defenses know that can happen." The NFL Odds Week 6 experts at Sportsbook.com have the Eagles vs. Raiders Total set at 40.5 points.
The Raiders (1-4) have been outscored 96-16 during a three-game losing streak while gaining 426 total yards in that span — 57 fewer than they gave up in last Sunday's 44-7 loss to the New York Giants. The Raiders' offensive ineptitude starts with quarterback JaMarcus Russell, who lost three fumbles and was 8 of 13 for 100 yards against New York. On the season, the top pick of the 2007 draft has a 42.1 completion percentage with one touchdown, four interceptions and a 47.1 QB rating.
