NFL Week 6 Free Pick: Take Washington. Once again the public’s support for the Eagles has given bettors a chance to receive points with the better team. Last week the Bills were 3-point home underdogs against Philadelphia despite owning the better record and now the same thing has happened again. Washington may not have as much talent as Philadelphia on paper what’s the point in having the better talent if you’re not going to take advantage of it on game day? The Eagles are a mess, starting with the poor pass protection and ending with the horrendous run defense. Watch for Mike Shanahan’s zone rushing attack to eat up big yards against a Philadelphia front seven that loves to open up holes for visiting running backs. According to latest NFL trends, the underdog is 6-2-1 against the spread in the last nine meetings between these two teams. The dog should cover again today.
