Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Redskins Prediction and Pick Against the Spread

Sunday was victorious for me as I picked the right game and avoided the bad ones. My top play this week was Bucs -6.5 over the Panthers. That was an easy winner. Thanks for the gift sportsbooks. I hope you guys took that one as well. My next biggest play was Colts/Over 40 which pushed. Good thing I teased it rather than taking Colts -7 since the Colts won 23-17 with a late Bengals TD getting them in the money. My last play was taking a chance on the Titans 1st-ranked offense on the road against the Dolphins, which didn’t hit. Thanks to my top play in the Bucs though, the week was a grand success.

PHILADELPHIA EAGLES (-3) @ WASHINGTON REDSKINS

I’m an Eagles fan, so all of this advice is 100% bias. I’m extremely confident that the Eagles will win tonight. Now that Michael Vick and DeSean Jackson are back in the Eagles lineup, their offense is clicking on all cylinders. McNabb got the victory over the Eagles in the first meeting, 17-12. However, Michael Vick was injured in the 1st quarter and that sorry excuse for a quarterback “Captain Checkdown” Kevin Kolb had to come in and throw nothing but 5-yard passes to the tight end or fullback.

However, one thing to worry about is the Redskins being at home off the bye week. It’s really a tremendous strategy betting solely on that factor. Browns beat the Patriots at home off the bye week. It was the sole reason I picked the Jaguars over the Texans this week. It also worked out for those who used that reason to pick the Broncos over the Chiefs this week. You know it’s never a great idea to pick against a home dog on Monday Night and it’s never a great idea to pick against a home team off the bye week. However, it doesn’t mean the Redskins are a lock to cover.

The bottom line is the Eagles are playing better football than the Redskins right now which is why they’re favored to win this game and the reason why 77% of the public is putting their money on them. I say stick with the public and go with the Eagles, but I’m an Eagles fan, so you’re getting 100% bias advice.

Prediction: Eagles 27 – Redskins 17

Pick Against the Spread: Eagles -3 (Confidence: 3/5)
