Redskins open 2020 season as home underdogs to Eagles in Week 1

The Redskins have a chance to make a statement in the first game of the year as they face off against the Eagles at home.

For the second year in a row, the Washington Redskins will open up their 2020 regular season with a game against the division rival Philadelphia Eagles. Last year, Washington had a great chance to steal a win in the first week of the season, going up 17-0 before it all came crashing down.

So with the same matchup on tap to kick off the 2020 season, only this time at Fed Ex Field, what can we expect? Early oddsmakers have already set a betting line for the game, listing the Redskins as a home-dog, giving them 4.5 points. 

It’s no surprise that the Redskins aren’t favored to win, as they’ve been getting slighted by handicappers a bunch as of late. In a release of prop bets that came out earlier this offseason, Washington was near the bottom of the barrel in nearly every bet, including Super Bowl contenders, playoff teams, and division winners.

Until they can prove Vegas otherwise, they will likely continue to get the short end of the stick when it comes to betting lines, but if you put some money down on them to win, it could turn into a nice payday.
