Redskins vs. Eagles Prediction
PHILADELPHIA, PA (The Spread) – The Washington Redskins currently own the top spot in the NFC East but for them to stay in first place they’ll need to beat the Philadelphia Eagles today at 1:00PM ET. Can they? View Current 2013 Super Bowl Odds NFL Odds: According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Eagles are 6-point home underdogs versus the Redskins while the over/under total is currently sitting at 44.5 points. Washington is 8-6 overall and 4-3 on the road this season, while Philadelphia is 4-10 overall and 2-5 at home. Line Movement: The Eagles opened as a 3-point favorite but once it was announced that Robert Griffin III was taking first-team reps at practice again, the line soared to Washington -6, where it currently sits down.

This information is subject to change leading up to kickoff, however, so make sure you click on the link provided for the most up-to-date NFL public betting numbers. NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take Philadelphia. According to latest NFL trends, the Eagles are 5-1 against the spread in their last six games in December and 6-2-1 ATS in their last nine divisional games. The Redskins, meanwhile, are 11-26-3 against the number versus a team with a losing record. Running back LeSean McCoy (concussion) is expected to be cleared to play and if he does, he changes Philadelphia’s offense tenfold. Look for a tight Washington team to play conservatively and a Philadelphia team with nothing to lose play loose. Home underdogs are usually a value and considering the home dog in this situation is getting nearly a touchdown against a divisional rival, it becomes an even bigger value. A lot of these young Eagle starters are playing for jobs next year so look for Philly to keep the game close. 2012 NFL FREE PICK: PHILADELPHIA EAGLES +6 Want More From TheSpread.com?
