NFL Picks: Washington Redskins at Philadelphia Eagles (-3)
The Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles meet in Week 16 with both teams controlling their own destiny. The Washington Redskins clinch with a win on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Philadelphia Eagles clinch by winning out. The New York Giants need the Dallas Cowboys to beat the Washington Redskins in Week 17 after an Eagles win this week while beating a playoff team with their best player suspended and beating the Eagles to end the season. The NFC East is as hilarious in its final weeks as it was once Tony Romo got hurt.
With the way the Giants’ season has gone, it wouldn’t surprise me if the Redskins lose to the Eagles this week and the Giants keep their season alive at least one more day just so they could blow it in more “New York Giants football” fashion.
Here, I expect a close game and a playoff atmosphere. I don’t trust Kirk Cousins and his league-leading accuracy on the road in Philadelphia. I don’t think either offense is consistent. I just lean to the home team with two inconsistent divisional rivals meeting on a national stage.
Public money has been good to us lately and Vegas is calling for a Philadelphia Eagles cover. With 83% of the money line tickets and 65% against the spread coming in on Washington, it looks like the books are banking on Philly. We will too in a low-confidence prediction that does not fit the forum in the VIP Picks club but is still a solid lean.
Watch for line movement late and make sure the tickets stay where they are. If Vegas reacts, it changes the strategy.
Eagles 28 – Redskins 24
