What opened as a pick’em has tilted significantly toward the visitors. I hate to buy late when the price goes up. But as long as the line is south of three, the Redskins are appealing. Eagles QB Carson Wentz has had a tough time lately with a nearly full complement of skill position guys. He faces the prospect of missing RB Ryan Matthews and WRs Jordan Matthews and Dorial Green-Beckham, all of whom are questionable. Washington is worried over an injury to TE Jordan Reed but believes that QB Kirk Cousins’ favorite target will answer the call.
According to Sportsinsights, over 84 percent of the spread tickets are on Washington and this line is still just -1. This is great news if you trust our projections that have the Eagles covering a field goal in 57 percent of simulations. I will gladly back the home dog in December in a trap spot for the Redskins knowing that Jordan Matthews is expected to return for the Eagles.
The Eagles have lost three straight, but they're coming home to take on division rival Washington in what amounts to their season's last stand. My projections show Philly winning by a field goal and covering 57 percent of the time. Play the dog.
