Washington Redskins vs. Philadelphia Eagles Gambling Prediction & Week 16 Preview

Redskins vs Eagles NFL Football Spread/Handicapping

Washington needs to keep things going to remain in the playoff hunt.  They are lucky to be getting a team in as bad shape as the Eagles are even if they are a division rival.  RGIII is still iffy at this point.

Washington

When Robert Griffin got hurt many wondered if that would be the end of the Redskins renaissance this season.

Last week proved otherwise and now there is debate in the value of rushing him back after replacement Kirk Cousins performed so well in the last week.  Griffin is practicing but as this is being written no final call has been made on his availability…

No matter who starts at QB for the Redskins, Washington will have an advantage .  In their previous game against Philly this season Griffin had one of the most impressive stat lines I have ever seen but Cousins was pretty great in his first start last week too.

Plus they have fellow rookie runner Alfred Morris around to take off some of the pressure.  Its a nice problem to have so many talented rookies…

The Redskins have won 5 in a row and covered all 5 games too.  They were the underdog in 3 of those 5 contests and this is the biggest chalk they will be laying all season.

They are in a dogfight to make the playoffs so they should be highly motivated to take advantage of the Eagles.

Philadelphia

It is hard to believe that the Eagles were once 3-1 this season.  They have lost 9 of their last 10 games and become a complete mess with injuries and poor play leaving  a lot to clean up in the offseason. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

Coach Andy Reid has been very successful in his tenure there but the mess has gotten so bad it is probably time for him to go…

With Michael Vick struggling and hurt the Eagles have tried to kindle their own rookie QB magic with Nick Foles.  He has not succeeded the way that others in his cohort have.  To be fair he has been playing shorthanded as this week marks the probable return of running back Lesean McCoy – a real difference maker.

Shifty receiver desean Jackson has been out too.  Philadelphia gains yards but has a hard time putting points on the board…

The Eagles have absolutely terrorized bettors this year with a 3-10-1 record.

Early on you didn’t want to believe this team wasn’t good than late you couldn’t believe how bad things had gotten.  I would stay away from these guys over the last couple of game
