2.  Kirk Cousins vs. Eli Manning 

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins will have a second consecutive high-profile duel at quarterback in week 4.  Last week it was against the Eagles Nick Foles and this week it’s against two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning.  These two faced off late last season and neither one performed particularly well.

But now with each others teams facing either getting to a .500 record or going 1-3 the quarterback who performs the best will put their team into position to get the victory.  So far on the season Kirk Cousins has played better than Manning but Eli is capable of getting hot at any time.

But turnovers will play a big part in this one as well.  Manning has already thrown 4 interceptions in three games so if Cousins can just take care of the football then that my give the Redskins the advantage they need to win the game.
