The Philadelphia Eagles took the NFL by storm in the first month of the season, but they’ve fallen off a cliff since mid-October. Next up on the docket for Carson Wentz and company is a date with Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins in the City of Brotherly Love. Sportsbooks opened the game as a pick’em with a total of 46.5.
The Redskins have had no issue dispatching Philly of late. In the last four matchups between the squads, the ’Skins are a perfect 4-0 SU. Washington has dropped two games in a row after falling to Dallas and Arizona in consecutive weeks.
When Washington hits the road, the OVER is red-hot. The Redskins have gone above the closing total in seven of their last nine away from D.C. They’ve been a fantastic bet in that regard this year, evidenced by 10 of their 12 tilts going OVER.
The Eagles’ fall from grace has been well documented. After starting the year 3-0 SU, they’ve gone a brutal 2-7. Philadelphia hasn’t scored more than 16 points since beating Atlanta 24-15 on November 13.
