Philadelphia is right in the thick of the playoff chase, but the Eagles really haven’t been that sharp recently. They may not need to be at their top of their game to get the win against the Redskins. But covering a pretty big number is another story entirely.
Washington has had a tough campaign, and they’ve already been reduced to playing out the string as far as this season is concerned. But the Redskins have shown plenty of fight lately, and they should be plenty fired up for this rematch after losing to the Eagles by 10 in the earlier meeting.
I just don’t see the Eagles playing well enough to be comfortable laying more than a TD. I’ll be surprised if the Philly offense has a big day here, so I’m basically just hoping the feeble Washington offense can put a couple of scores on the board. Off the very tough loss to Dallas last week, this might stand out as a dead spot for a team going nowhere. But because of the divisional revenge, I don’t see this as the likely flat spot for the Redskins, and I’m going to rely on their tough stop unit to keep this game tight. I’ll take the points with the Redskins for this week’s free NFL play.
