Bet 4 units on the Eagles. Philadelphia is a streaking team in the hunt of the NFC playoff race. No matter what the sport is, these are the most dangerous types of teams to play against. They play at their best and in many cases they overperform. The Eagles are currently on a 3 game winning streak and won each game by an average margin of 14.7 points, scoring 29.3 points per game during that stretch. Donovan McNabb has been red hot throwing for 741 yards, 7 touchdowns and only 1 pick in his past 3 contests. The Eagles will need a strong performance from McNabb in order to win since Washington’s defense is ranked 5th in the NFL. There is every reason to believe they will get it.

One of the main reasons that Philly will cover is due to the fact that Washington’s offense has been cold as ice as of late. The Redskins have been averaging only 11 points per game in their past 6 contests. They are facing the third ranked defense in the NFL. Seeing that the Eagles limited the Giants to only 14 points on the road 2 weeks ago, it would only be logical to assume that Washington won’t do any better.

The trends are completely in the Eagles favour. The Eagles are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 versus the NFC and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 on turf. Washington is 0-5-1 ATS in its last 6 overall and 0-5 ATS in its last 5 home games. This game will likely be a blowout. The Eagles are fired up and absolutely determined to make the playoffs and the Redskins are still trying to figure out how they ended up being out of playoff contention so quickly. Philly wins this one and covers. Lay the points on the Eagles.

Prediction: Philadelphia 23 Washington 10
