Kevin thinks Washington is going to beat the Eagles on Sunday. His keys to a big win, his final score prediction, and a conversation with Reuben Frank/NBC Sports Philadelphia helps get you ready for a do-or-die game. He finished up with six “Smell Test” picks and predictions on Alabama-Cincinnati & Michigan-Georgia.

Lots going on during the show today. Thom had a breaking Joe Gibbs story that was updated in progress and another story about a beer cart that killed his great grandfather. Kevin recapped Maryland’s 54-10 Pinstripe Bowl win over Virginia Tech and predicted the 2022 Terps could be a preseason Top 25 ranked team. Kevin put $50 on Washington at +1300 to make the playoffs because he believes the Skins’ chances are better than that. There was Kyle Allen vs Taylor Heinicke discussion, more on John Madden, and a Happy Birthday shout-out to a local PR legend.

Kevin talks John Madden to start and then also at the end of the show with local TV legend, Ernie Baur. In between, Kevin on why any conversation about Ron Rivera being fired is absurd and why he thinks Kyle Allen should start against the Eagles.

Kevin and Thom today with more on Washington’s 56-14 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night and whether or not the team will have any bounce-back ability. They discussed a lot of Ron Rivera’s Monday comments regarding the quarterback decision for Sunday’s game against the Eagles and more.

Kevin with his breakdown of Washington’s 56-14 blow-out loss to the Cowboys in Dallas. The off-the-field lead-up to the game was petty and embarrassing but not nearly as humiliating as the demolition that took place on the field. Kevin’s “Game Take” included one player who stood out in a positive way and several parts of the team that didn’t. He had a grade for Taylor Heinicke, a suggestion on who should start at QB against Philly this coming week, and then he spent a few minutes discussing the updated playoff picture. He talked other NFL and then brought on Gene Wang/Washington Post to discuss the increasing number of cancelled bowl games.

Would Washington have won the game in Philly Tuesday night if Taylor Heinicke had played? Kevin and Thom discussed this and more on today’s show including whether or not Antonio Gibson has good enough RB vision to be great. Also, is Scott Turner a candidate for the Jacksonville head coaching position? Plenty on “Benchgate” and a look back 25 years ago to RFK’s final NFL game.
