Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Football Team odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Football Team odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

Both the Philadelphia Eagles (8-7) and the Washington Football Team (6-9) meet with their playoff hopes on the line Sunday in Week 17 at FedExField in the nation’s capital. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET and the game airs on FOX. Below, we look at the Eagles vs. Washington odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Eagles are seventh in the NFC and can clinch a postseason berth with wins in their final two games. Washington needs to win out and several teams to lose as it ranks 11th in the NFC standings.

Philly has won five of its past six games (4-1-1 ATS) including three straight victories, one of which came against Washington 27-17 in Week 15. The Eagles are 8-6-1 ATS and 9-6 O/U.

The Eagles-Washington in Week 15 meeting got pushed back to Tuesday of the following week due to a COVID outbreak within Washington. However, the Football Team was without QBs Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen who couldn’t clear health and safety protocols in time.

Washington has lost three straight (0-2-1 ATS) to the Dallas Cowboys in Weeks 14 and 16 and to the Eagles in between. Washington is 5-9-1 ATS and 7-8 O/U.

Eagles at Washington odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Washington 24, Eagles 20

Money line

SPRINKLE on WASHINGTON (+205) for a small wager — if at all — with the plan of betting the Football Team plus the points heavier.

However, this is a good buy-low spot for Washington who was just embarrassed on national TV this past weekend and has its season on the line.

Washington also just lost to Philly two weeks ago and we’ve seen teams bounce back in the second meeting with a divisional foe several times already this season.

The Browns beat the Ravens in Week 14 two weeks after losing to them and the Bills got revenge on the Patriots in Week 16 after dropping their first meeting in Week 13. Also, I don’t put much stock into Philly’s Week 15 victory over Washington.

Not only was Washington missing its first-and second-string QBs. But, Washington was also without seven assistant coaches and All-Pro guard Brandon Scherff and five defensive starters missed the whole week of practice with COVID.

Again, the Football Team’s spread is the preferred wager, but I’ll SPRINKLE on WASHINGTON (+205).

Against the spread

Definitely BET WASHINGTON +5.5 (-103) heavier than or instead of the money line.

More than 75% of the cash is on the Eagles according to pregame.com at the time of writing, which has steamed Philly up from a 3-point favorite on the opener.

The bottom line is I made this game a pick ’em — maybe you could make the Eagles a slight favorite — and I’ll take the additional 2.5 points worth of value on the home underdog with their season on the line in a division game.

Over/Under

PASS because my prediction aligns too closely with Tipico’s projected score so there’s no value in me betting the Eagles-Washington total.

If anything, I’d “lean” towards the Under 44.5 (-112) because I think Washington’s run defense shows up this game and makes Philly’s attack one-dimensional. Plus the Under has cashed in Washington’s past four home games.

Washington Football Team at Dallas Cowboys odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Washington Football Team at Dallas Cowboys odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Football Team (6-8) and Dallas Cowboys (10-4) will clash in a pivotal Week 16 matchup with huge playoff implications. Washington will try to stay in the playoff hunt, while the Cowboys are in a chase for the No. 1 seed. Kickoff on Sunday night will be at 8:20 p.m. ET from AT&T Stadium. Below, we look at the Washington vs. Cowboys odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Washington has lost two in a row after ripping off a four-game winning streak, crushing its playoff chances. Its most recent loss came to the Eagles Tuesday night in a game that was postponed from Sunday due to the team’s COVID-19 outbreak. Fortunately, QB Taylor Heinicke is back from COVID reserve and should start Sunday in Dallas.

The Cowboys have gotten hot at the right time, winning their last three games. They crushed the Giants Sunday, 21-6, after also beating Washington and the Saints in their previous two games. As of now, the Cowboys hold the No. 2 seed in the NFC, but they’re in a tie with the Cardinals and Buccaneers at 10-4.

Let’s Make This Interesting

Washington at Cowboys odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Cowboys 24, Washington 17

Money line

The Cowboys and Washington just squared off two weeks ago, a game Dallas won 27-20. But Washington was able to not only keep it close at the end, but it had a chance to tie the game in the fourth quarter after falling behind 24-0.

The Cowboys have won three in a row, but with the money line offering very little reward for the risk, I would PASS here.

Against the spread

The Cowboys covered the spread in each of their last three wins and are now an incredible 11-3 ATS. However, the offense has really struggled as of late and Washington’s defense is underrated when healthy.

With Heinicke coming back, along with several other starters, I think Washington will keep this one relatively close – at least within 10 points. I like WASHINGTON +9.5 (+100) to cover, especially at even money.

Over/Under

In the last 10 games for each team, the total has only gone Over three times. Neither Dallas nor Washington is scoring at a very high rate on offense, though the Cowboys have gotten plenty of help from their defense scoring points.

This will be a defensive battle, which is why I like the UNDER 46.5 (-103) on Sunday night.

Washington Football Team at Philadelphia Eagles odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Washington Football Team at Philadelphia Eagles odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Football Team (6-7) take on the Philadelphia Eagles (6-7) Tuesday. Kickoff from Lincoln Financial Field is set for 7 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Washington vs. Eagles odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Washington and Philadelphia were both crippled by Covid-19 protocols keeping players sidelined and had their game rescheduled to Tuesday from its original Sunday timeslot. Those absences will headline this crucial game.

Both teams have a chance to make the playoffs, with Washington surging toward a potential wildcard spot over the last few weeks, going 4-1 over its last 5 games.

However, they’ll be without star DE Chase Young who is sidelined with an ACL tear suffered in Week 10, and many other key defenders. Philadelphia’s league-best rush attack will look to capitalize. QB Jalen Hurts will lead the way for Philadelphia.

Washington is 5-8 against the spread (ATS) this season while Philadelphia is 7-6 ATS.

Let’s Make This Interesting

Washington at Eagles odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Eagles 24, Washington 20

Money line

PASS on the money line.

I like Philadelphia with home-field advantage but there’s no value at betting them -475. Washington at +340 here is the only possible play but I’d rather look toward the spread.

Against the spread

BET on the WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM +8.5 (-110).

There should be hope that the Washington offense can get going with WR Terry McLaurin — who was questionable to play during the week — active and off the injury report.

Washington is holding opponents to the fourth-fewest rushing yards per game. Its defensive line has been a dominant group despite missing key pieces. I’d favor them to tame a lethal Hurts in this one.

Washington’s defensive weakness, their pass defense, won’t be put to the test as Hurts has been more of a rushing QB than a passing one. Philadelphia ranks 28th in passing yards per game.

Despite QBs Heinicke and Allen both being sidelined due to COVID-19 protocols, an offense with RB Antonio Gibson and McLaurin leading the way should be able to consistently drive against Philadephia. More than a touchdown is far too many points to not take Washington here.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the OVER 40.5 (-108) as both teams have dynamic offenses and both weak third-down defenses. One note about both defenses is that they’re in the bottom half of the league for opponents’ third-down conversation rate.

Neither has consistently been able to get their opponent off the field. Three of Philadelphia’s last four games have eclipsed 40 points, and two of Washington’s last four have done the same. I expect this one to as well.

Dallas Cowboys at Washington Football Team odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Dallas Cowboys at Washington Football Team Week 14 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Dallas Cowboys (8-4) and Washington Football Team (6-6) will square off for the first time this season, pitting the top two teams in the NFC East against each other Sunday. Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. ET from FedExField as Dallas tries to pull further ahead in the division. Below, we look at the Cowboys vs. Washington odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Cowboys should be well-rested after getting some extra time off following their win over the Saints last Thursday night, snapping their two-game losing streak.

Dallas is still only 2-3 in the last five games with those losses coming against the Broncos, Chiefs and Raiders, though the Cowboys did win comfortably against the Saints and the Falcons.

Washington has caught fire as of late, winning its last four games after losing four in a row in October. The Football Team’s most impressive win came Nov. 14 vs. the Buccaneers, blowing them out 29-19 at home.

Washington’s numbers aren’t all that impressive, ranking 21st in scoring offense and 23rd in points allowed, but it has found ways to get it done in order to claw back to .500.

Cowboys at Washington odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Cowboys 24, Washington 17

Money line

Dallas has not played well as of late, and even in its win over the Saints, the offense looked broken. The Cowboys will now face a defense that’s playing well, holding each of its last five opponents under 22 points.

But the Cowboys should get back on track with WR Amari Cooper closer to full strength and RB Ezekiel Elliott having 10 days to rest his knee injury.

Even being on the road, I really like Dallas in this game, but I would PASS on the money line and bet on the spread instead.

Against the spread

This is where the real value is. The Cowboys are 9-3 ATS this season, four games better than Washington, which started the year 1-7 ATS.

Washington’s defense could give the Cowboys some trouble but its offense will also struggle against an underrated Dallas defense.

Bet the COWBOYS -4.5 (-112) giving the points on the road.

Over/Under

The Cowboys scored 27 points against the Saints but they went three-and-out on four of their last seven possessions and six times overall. It was not a very good performance, with the offense only scoring 20 points on its own; Dallas also had a pick-six.

Washington’s offense isn’t moving the ball very easily right now, either, and its defense deserves more credit than it’s gotten.

I like the UNDER 47.5 (-105).

Washington Football Team at Las Vegas Raiders odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Washington Football Team at Las Vegas Raiders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

Sunday afternoon at 4:05 p.m. ET, Washington Football Team (5-6) takes the field at Allegiant Stadium to take on the Las Vegas Raiders (6-5). Below, we look at the Washington vs. Las Vegas odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Washington enters this game without star DE Chase Young, who is out for the season. However, its been one of the hottest teams in the NFL regardless of his recent absence.

Washington has won three straight games, besting the Bucs, Panthers and Seahawks in that span. They’re 2-3 on the road and 4-7 against the spread.

As for Vegas, they’re led by star QB Derek Carr. With several team-changing situations this season, Vegas being over .500 is impressive, all things considered. They’re 5-6 against the spread and 3-3 at home this season. They’ve just won one on their last four.

Washington at Las Vegas odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Washington 24, Las Vegas 23

Money line

The oddsmakers at Tipico Sportsbook have almost made this one a toss-up, with the lines changing slightly since Saturday evening. BET on WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM (+105) as the best side in this game. The ascension of QB Taylor Heinicke into a viable starter in the NFL has been huge.

He didn’t enter the season as the first-string quarterback, but having thrown five touchdowns and one interception during this three-game winning streak, Heinicke has stepped up and put the WFT into playoff contention.

He’s completed over 70% of his passes in each game. Carr, who will be without star TE Darren Waller, has been the opponent, under 72% in four straight games. He’s been under 300 yards passing in three of his last four games and has totaled four interceptions.

Despite Washington’s weak pass defense, they have the more balanced offensive attack. I’m backing one of the hottest teams in the league that’s shown the ability to contend with the best of the best.

Against the spread

PASS on the spread. For the mere two-and-a-half points, I’d rather take the plus-money underdogs on the moneyline.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 47.5 (-110) as neither team ranks in the top half of the league in points per game.

Both are under 24 per game, and while they don’t necessarily have lacking offensive weapons, they haven’t consistently been able to move the ball. For the more potent offense, Vegas, that’ll be even more true without Waller.

His absence will create a massive hole in Las Vegas’ playmaking. The Raiders just won’t have the firepower in this one.

Washington won’t blow them out, but I expect them to hang on and do just enough to win this one. This should be relatively low scoring.

The Seahawks have dropped five of the past six games, scoring 17 or fewer points in four of those outings. The Under has connected in eight straight For Seattle, and an NFL-best nine out of 10 games this season.

Washington has come alive, topping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 29-19 as a 10-point home underdog in Week 10, and edging the Carolina Panthers on the road 27-21 as 3-point dogs in Week 11. Washington is on the verge of its first three-game win streak since a four-game run from Nov. 22-Dec. 13, 2020.

Seahawks at Washington odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Washington 23, Seahawks 20

Money line

WASHINGTON (-110) is the play. It has won two in a row, and is playing much better.

Seattle is a rudderless ship lately. It’s likely head coach Pete Carroll is in his final days in the Pacific Northwest after a nice run.

Against the spread

PASS since the juice on Washington -0.5 (-110) is the same as Washington’s money line.

Over/Under

The lean is the UNDER 47.5 (-117), which has been the rule for both teams lately.

The Under is 4-1 in the past five games overall for Washington, while going 9-3 in the past 12 games at home.

The Under is also 5-0 in the past five road games for the Seahawks, while cashing in 16 of the past 21 overall.

Washington is coming off its most impressive showing of the season, a 29-19 win over the defending Super Bowl-champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. That snapped an 0-4 SU/ATS run. The Under is 4-0 in the past four for WFT.

The Panthers won 34-10 at Arizona last week as seven-point underdogs, and Carolina is now 2-1 SU/ATS across the past three. QB Cam Newton will make the start, taking over for QB P.J. Walker, who started last week in place of the injured QB Sam Darnold (scapula).

Washington at Panthers odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Panthers 24, Washington 19

Money line

PANTHERS (-180) is not terribly out of line if you just want to back Newton and the home team without worrying about laying the points.

Against the spread

The PANTHERS -3.5 (-103) welcome Newton back under center, and welcome former head coach Ron Rivera to town. There are all kinds of interesting storylines in this game, and Washington +3.5 (-117) is riding high after an upset of the Bucs last week, too.

I think the crowd is going to be electric in Charlotte with Cam making his first start with the team since re-signing, and they’ll hold off Washington. Three-and-a-hook is not a great spread, so play it lightly. I actually like the money line much better in what should be a close game.

Over/Under

The OVER 42.5 (-117) is the lean, ever so slightly. The Panthers offense is averaging just 20.5 PPG, ranking 21st in the NFL this season. And the defense is yielding just 19.3 PPG, which is sixth in the NFL. This defense is nasty, and will give QB Taylor Heinicke and the Washington offense trouble. But Cam and the Panthers should be able to do enough, and WFT likely will score late to inch this one over the finish line.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Washington Football Team odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Tampa Bay at Washington odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (6-2) head north to FedExField to take on the Washington Football Team (2-6) Sunday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Buccaneers vs. Washington odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

MVP frontrunner QB Tom Brady will take the field having already thrown for a league-high 25 touchdowns. He’s on pace for a career-high in yardage, and it’s clear that he’s among the best in the business.

The Bucs success has followed in Brady’s as they lead the NFC South. They’ll look to get an easy win against a disappointing Washington Football Team.

Washington is led by QB Taylor Heinicke. RB Antonio Gibson and WR Terry McLaurin and DE Chase Young on the defensive side. Washington just hasn’t been able to find success despite having talented players. Tampa Bay, although on the road, enters as a heavy favorite.

Buccaneers at Washington odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Buccaneers 31, Washington 17

Money line

PASS on the money line for Tampa Bay. Regular-season football and a -475 money line are never two things that should be put together.

Pass on the money line for Washington too. It’s just proven to be an inferior side this season and not worth the risk against one of the better teams in football.

Against the spread

“LEAN” to the BUCCANEERS -9.5 (-112) for a small wager because betting on the drastically superior quarterback should be beneficial in this instance.

Brady has been electric this season, throwing for at least four touchdowns in three of his last four games. On top of that, RB Leonard Fournette has exploded onto the scene as a top-tier back.

Tampa Bay is just 3-5 against the spread, but that’s better than the overrated Washington side that comes in 1-7. Considering they’re averaging the 25th most points per game, there is no way they can keep up with Tampa Bay.

I’d lean to Tom in this one.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 50.5 (-112) as Washington’s offense just hasn’t shown enough to be backed. Brady will get his own, but Washington is one of just nine teams averaging fewer than 20 points per game.

If that’s the case, the Bucs would have to top 30 to help cover the Over. With Young on one side, Washington should be able to limit a hampered Bucs offense at least a little.

It’s currently 21st in opponents’ completion percentage, but Washington’s home completion percentage jumps to 14th despite having let down many with its poor play.

Considering their better play at home and horrific offense along with Tampa Bay’s capable defense, I’m betting the Under.

Washington Football Team at Denver Broncos odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Washington Football Team at Denver Broncos odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The seasons have turned frightful for the Washington Football Team and Denver Broncos, who both bring losing streaks of at least three games into their Sunday afternoon Halloween matchup. Below, we look at the Washington vs. Broncos odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Washington (2-5) was looking to build on its surprise first-place NFC East finish of a season ago but lost starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick to a hip injury in the opener and has dropped four of its last five games following a 1-1 start. Fill-in QB Taylor Heinicke has held his own with 11 total touchdowns and seven interceptions, but instead of taking another step forward following a promising 2020 showing, Washington’s young defense has taken a disappointing step backwards and is surrendering a league-high 30 points and 300.6 passing yards per game.

Meanwhile, in the Mile High City, the 3-4 Broncos have dropped four straight after a 3-0 start, and head coach Vic Fangio is definitely feeling some heat with his team sporting a losing record for the third straight October. QB Teddy Bridgewater and the Broncos’ offense rank 24th in scoring with an average of 20 points per game, and even though the Denver defense ranks fourth with an average of 18.1 points allowed, it has wilted as the schedule has toughened, with seven linebackers on injured reserve and the last four foes averaging 25.3 points and 399.8 total yards per outing while losing only one total turnover.

Washington at Broncos odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Broncos 24, Washington 21

Money line

We’re going with the BRONCOS (-180) to snap their skid as WR Jerry Jeudy’s return from a six-game injury absence should help lift Bridgewater and the rest of the offense. Denver has defeated only the 2-5 Giants, the 1-5 Jaguars and 1-5 Jets so far, and 2-5 Washington certainly fits the same profile.

Against the spread

A money line bet on the Broncos is our preferred play in this contest, but with the line more than a field goal, a small-unit wager on WASHINGTON (+3.5, -115) is worth a shot as it has the potential on the defensive and offensive lines to keep things tight.

Over/Under

It’s a PASS here given the volatility of the two defenses that should be performing much better than they are.

Washington Football Team at Green Bay Packers odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Washington Football Team at Green Bay Packers odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Football Team (2-4) travel to meet the Green Bay Packers (5-1) at Lambeau Field Sunday for a Week 7 game. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we look at the Washington vs. Packers odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Washington lost its second consecutive game when it was pounded 31-13 by the visiting Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday. WFT picked up a 34-30 win in Atlanta as a two-point favorite in its most recent road outing. The Over is 2-0 in two road contests.

Green Bay was worked over in Week 1 in a neutral-site battle against New Orleans, but has rolled to five straight wins and covers since. The Under is a perfect 3-0 in the last three for the Packers.
