Kansas City Chiefs at Washington Football Team odds, picks and prediction

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

The Kansas City Chiefs (2-3) will be on the road this weekend, visiting the Washington Football Team (2-3) Sunday. Both teams have underachieved this season, and another loss will push one of these teams even further below .500. Kickoff from FedExField will be at 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Chiefs vs. Washington odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

One of the biggest surprises of the season thus far has been the Chiefs’ 2-3 start. Two of their losses were by fewer than 5 points, but their performance in a 38-20 loss to the Buffalo Bills Monday night was disappointing. The Chiefs still rank fifth in points and yards, but they’ve also given up more points than any other team in the league.

Washington’s defense hasn’t been much better. It ranks 31st in points allowed and 20th in yards per game allowed, struggling to slow any of its opponents down. Washington has allowed at least 30 points in each of its last four games, most recently losing 33-22 to the New Orleans Saints.

Chiefs at Washington odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Chiefs 34, Washington 24

Money line

BET CHIEFS (-280) to win outright over Washington, getting back on track after a slow start to the year.

Despite their equal records, the Chiefs and Washington are different teams. Kansas City is led by an MVP quarterback and has arguably the most dangerous receiver in football. Washington has gotten decent play out of QB Taylor Heinicke, but this is a matchup that favors the Chiefs.

Against the spread

BET CHIEFS -6.5 (-112) to win and cover.

Both of these teams are just 1-4 ATS through five weeks. Washington has been favored three times, covering once, but failed to cover in the two games where it was an underdog.

The Chiefs have been favored each week and the only time they covered the spread was in a 42-30 win over the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 4.

Over/Under

OVER 54.5 (-115) is the play as this should be a high-scoring game.

What happens when two of the worst defenses in football meet? The O/U gets set at 54.5 points. Washington’s offense isn’t on the level of the Chiefs’, but with WR Terry McLaurin and RB Gibson, it is still capable of putting up points.

New Orleans Saints at Washington Football Team odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s New Orleans Saints at Washington Football Team Week 5 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Football Team (2-2) hosts the New Orleans Saints (2-2) Sunday for their Week 5 showdown at FedExField. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Saints vs. Washington odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

New Orleans lost 27-21 in overtime in Week 4 to the New York Giants as a 7.5-point favorite in its first true-home opener. The Saints had nearly 10 more minutes in time of possession and were better on third down and in the red zone. New Orleans is 2-2 against the spread (ATS) and 1-3 Over/Under (O/U).

Washington pulled out a 34-30 road win over the Atlanta Falcons in a seesaw battle as a 1-point favorite last week. QB Taylor Heinicke connected with RB J.D. McKissic on a 30-yard TD pass with 33 seconds remaining to key the victory. Washington is 1-3 ATS and 3-1 O/U.

Saints at Washington odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Saints 26, Washington 17

Money line

I’d argue that New Orleans’ Week 4 loss to the Giants actually provides better value for a SAINTS (-135) wager. New Orleans squandered a double-digit lead on the Giants with less than 7 minutes remaining.

There’s not a ton of adjustments the Saints need to make and they have the humiliating loss as motivation. Also, since 2016, New Orleans has the second-best winning rate following a loss at 17-7 overall with a plus-6.3-point margin of victory.

These teams are neck-and-neck in strength of schedule (according to Football Outsiders). But, the Saints have a far higher EPA differential and are better than Washington in high-leverage situations (third-down conversions and red zone-scoring rates).

New Orleans’s offense is sixth in third-down conversion rate and second in red zone-scoring rate while the defense is 10th on third down and has the best red zone-scoring rate in the NFL.

On the other hand, Washington’s defense is last in third-down conversion rate and the offense is second-to-last in red zone-scoring rate.

More to the point, Washington’s defense is overrated based on 2020 results against backup quarterbacks. Football Outsiders ranks Washington’s defense 28th in the league despite playing the 23rd-toughest strength of schedule of opposing offenses.

Lastly, Washington’s results simply haven’t been that impressive. Washington barely beat the Giants in Week 2 and eked past the Falcons last week. Also, Washington failed to cover the spread in both losses while being outgained by at least 165 total yards in each contest.

GIMME 1 UNIT on the SAINTS (-135).

Against the spread

PASS because I’d rather just lay -135 with New Orleans’ money line than be cheap and bet the Saints -2.5 (-112).

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 44.5 (-112) for a half-unit wager if at all because I prefer New Orleans’ money line much more than the total in this spot.

The Saints’ ability to keep the chains moving and Washington’s poor third-down defense combined with its awful third-down offense means New Orleans should dictate the pace of this contest. According to Football Outsiders, the Saints play the slowest pace in the NFL and the third-slowest neutral situation pace.

On top of that, more than 90% of the action is on the Over (according to Pregame.com), which is based on Washington’s three consecutive high-scoring games.

However, New Orleans’ defense has the second-best DVOA (according to Football Outsiders) and has the personnel to make life difficult on Washington’s overrated offense.

Washington Football Team at Atlanta Falcons odds, picks and prediction

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

The Washington Football Team (1-2) visit the Atlanta Falcons (1-2) Sunday of Week 4 for a 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Below, we look at the Washington vs. Falcons odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Both teams have kicked off the season in disappointing fashion but they each have a narrow victory over the New York Giants.

The Falcons come into Week 4 with losses to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles, the latter of which was a 26-point defeat. TE Kyle Pitts has yet to be heavily involved with the Falcons’ short-pass strategy having crushed their ability to consistently move the ball. Led by veteran QB Matt Ryan, Atlanta is tied for 21st in first downs per game.

As for Washington, after starting QB Ryan Fitzpatrick went down, it became the QB Taylor Heinicke show. Washington is tied for 26th in first downs per game.

Washington at Falcons odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Falcons 23, Washington 20

Money line

“LEAN” to the FALCONS (+102) as home underdogs.

Ryan came into the season with high expectations and with RB Mike Davis, the offense has disappointed. WR Calvin Ridley hasn’t been the same caliber, but with the targets still there, expect him to eventually explode. Pitts should also start to play a larger role.

The Falcons gave up 80 points through the first two weeks. With CB A.J. Terrell a full participant in practice, the Falcons defense should be able to slow down the Washington offense and WR Terry McLaurin.

Against the spread

PASS on the Falcons +1.5 (-108) as there wasn’t a single game in Week 3 that was decided by a single point.

If you’re looking to go with the Falcons, just take them to win outright.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 47.5 (-115) as the best value on the total. While the Buffalo Bills offense dismantled Washington last week, Atlanta isn’t at that level.

Washington will have DE Chase Young going at arguably the worst offensive line in the NFL. Pro Football Focus ranked the Falcons as the 24th-best offensive line at the start of the season. It’s proven to be even worse than that.

Ryan’s experienced and can manage to avoid some of the pressure, but it’s likely Washington can consistently overpower Atlanta.

Washington Football Team at Buffalo Bills odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the Washington Football Team at Buffalo Bills Week 3 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Football Team (1-1) stop by Highmark Stadium Sunday for a 1 p.m. ET game against the Buffalo Bills (1-1) in Week 3. Below, we look at the Washington vs. Bills odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Washington beat the New York Giants 30-29 with a game-winning field goal as tied expired on Thursday Night Football in Week 2. However, Washington failed to cover as 4-point home favorites against the Giants and lost outright and against the spread at home to the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 1.

Buffalo bounced back from a 23-16 upset by the Pittsburgh Steelers in its opener as 6.5-point home favorites by drubbing the Miami Dolphins 35-0 in Week 2 as 3.5-point road favorites.

Washington at Bills odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Bills 26, Washington 21

Money line

PASS with a heavy “lean” toward Washington (+265) because Washington plus the points is one of my favorite bets of the NFL Week 3 slate and typically I like sprinkling on an underdog’s money line when betting them to cover.

However, this is Washington QB Taylor Heinicke‘s first career road start and perhaps the Bills are a sleeping tiger right now. It’s hard to argue that Buffalo should be laying more than a touchdown in this spot, but I think the Bills will most likely pull out a win.

Against the spread

GIMME WASHINGTON +7.5 (-120) for 1.25 units. This is my favorite side of this Week 3 slate and you can listen to why I like Washington in further detail on this week’s Bet Slippin’ Podcast

However, the gist of my analysis is that Buffalo hasn’t looked good enough offensively to be this big of a favorite. Josh Allen ranks 24th in EPA plus completion percentage over expectation composite, 28th in DVOA, 22nd in QBR and 28th by PFF. Granted, Buffalo’s first two opponents were tough defenses but Washington is as talented defensively as either Pittsburgh or Miami.

We have a significant “reverse line move” (RLM) in the betting market. More than three-fourths of the cash and nearly 90% of the action is on Buffalo laying the points according to Pregame.com at the time of writing, but the Bills opened as a 9-point consensus favorite and have come down to the current price despite the one-sided action.

Over/Under

PASS on the total because it could go either way in the Washington-Bills game. Both teams play at a top-eight neutral situation pace (seconds per play). On the other hand, we have RLM in the total market also as far more action is on the Over but this total has come down from the 47-point opener.

Furthermore, Buffalo looks less explosive offensively and Washington looks less formidable defensively than expected through two weeks. However, the Bills have been awesome defensively thus far and Washington has a ton of weapons for Heinicke to work with.

New York Giants at Washington Football Team odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the Week 2 New York Giants at Washington Football Team Thursday Night Football odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

Both the New York Giants (0-1) and Washington Football Team (0-1) will be seeking their first wins of the season Thursday night when they square off at FedExField. Kickoff will be at 8:20 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Giants vs. Washington odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Giants were blown out at home in Week 1, losing 27-13 to the Denver Broncos. The game wasn’t even as close as the score indicates, either, considering QB Daniel Jones scrambled for a touchdown as time expired to pull New York within two scores after trailing 27-7. New York allowed 420 total yards to Denver, including 165 yards on the ground in its Week 1 loss.

Washington also lost at home, falling 20-16 to the Los Angeles Chargers. The game was decided by a 3-yard touchdown pass from QB Justin Herbert to WR Mike Williams in the fourth quarter that put the Chargers up by 4. Washington played most of the game without QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, who suffered a hip injury and has since landed on injured reserve, so it’ll be QB Taylor Heinicke under center on Thursday Night Football.

Giants at Washington odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Washington 20, Giants 14

Money line

Neither of these teams looked particularly good in Week 1, but Washington was facing a team that could contend for an AFC West title in the Chargers, and it nearly pulled out a win despite losing its starting QB. The Giants were especially bad against the Broncos, failing to move the ball with any sort of consistency.

Washington’s defense is even better than Denver’s and should give New York trouble. Bet WASHINGTON (-180) to win outright at home.

Against the spread

As tough as it will be for Washington to play this one without Fitzpatrick, Heinicke is a capable quarterback and played relatively well in spot duty last year. Jones has yet to improve for the Giants and continues to turn the ball over, so I’m expecting Washington to take it away a couple of times.

I like WASHINGTON -3.5 (-105) to cover the spread and win by 4 or more points.

Over/Under

The total went Under the projected line in the season openers for both the Giants and Washington. New York scored just 13 points against Denver and Washington was limited to 16 against the Chargers, finding the end zone only once.

Even with the total being on the lower side for this game, I like the UNDER 40.5 (-105) Thursday night.

Los Angeles Chargers at Washington Football Team odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the Los Angeles Chargers at Washington Football Team Week 1 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Football Team meet Sunday at FedExField in Landover, Md. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET and the game is televised on CBS. Below, we look at the Chargers vs. Washington odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert begins his first full season under center after taking over the job early in 2020 and going on to win Offensive Rookie of the Year.

L.A. went just 1-4 straight up in five trips east of the Mississippi River, including a visit to the New Orleans Saints in Week 5, but they were a solid 3-2 against the spread in those games.

Washington had a rough preseason, going 1-2 SU and 0-3 ATS, but those games do not count. They went just 3-5 at home last season but posted a solid 5-3 ATS mark, including a 3-1 ATS record against the AFC. WFT also hit the Under in its final six regular-season home games.

Chargers at Washington odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Washington 24, Chargers 20

Money line

Sign me up for WASHINGTON (-125) and a little Fitzmagic to start the 2021 season.

I don’t like the fact the Chargers will either be without Ekeler or he’ll be somewhat limited. I expect the Bolts will be forced to go to the air a little more, and Washington was No. 2 in the NFL against the pass last season. WFT won its home opener last season against Philadelphia, and I think it starts out strong Sunday, too.

Against the spread

WASHINGTON -1.5 (-115) isn’t much different against the number than the money line, but if you want to save a few pennies, lay the point and a half.

Washington will be missing a big-play option in Samuel on the outside, but WR Terry McLaurin is a beast, and he’ll make the first start of QB Ryan Fitzpatrick successful. TE Logan Thomas is an underrated option in the pass game, too.

As mentioned above, RB Justin Jackson might be forced into a larger role if Ekeler is inactive or limited and the Chargers could have an unbalanced attack with more air work. Washington is a no-fly zone, as it really put the clamps on opposing pass attacks last season.

Over/Under

The lean is to UNDER 44.5 (-105), which Washington saw frequently down the stretch in home games in 2020.

The Under is a perfect 6-0 in the last six regular-season home games for WFT and also a perfect 6-0 in the past six games in September for Los Angeles.

Baltimore Ravens at Washington Football Team odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Baltimore Ravens at Washington Football Team preseason Week 3 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Baltimore Ravens (2-0) meet the Washington Football Team (1-1) Saturday for a 6 p.m. ET kickoff at FedEx Field. Below, we look at the Ravens vs. Washington odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Ravens defense has been on point so far in the preseason posting a 17-14 win over New Orleans at home Aug. 14, and a 20-3 victory on the road against the Carolina Panthers Saturday. They have covered each preseason game while hitting the Under in both outings.

Ravens at Washington odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Ravens 20, Washington 12

Money line

The Ravens (-200) will cost you two times your potential return in this Beltway preseason battle. That’s just a little too expensive for an exhibition game – especially for a road team.

AVOID and play the spread instead.

Against the spread

The RAVENS -3.5 (-107) have covered the spread in each of their first two preseason games, while Washington +3.5 (-115) has failed to cover in either of its outings. Look for a low-scoring defensive battle in favor of the visitors.

Baltimore has won 19 consecutive preseason games dating back to 2015, and they tied Vince Lombardi’s streak with the Green Bay Packers set back in 1959-62. Look for the Ravens to make history in this road battle.

Over/Under

UNDER 33.5 (-120) is the lean in this final preseason battle for these neighbors. Both sides have hit the Under in their two preseason battles so far, and there is no reason to believe something will change Saturday.

Cincinnati Bengals at Washington Football Team odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing the Cincinnati Bengals at Washington Football Team preseason Week 2 matchup, with NFL odds, lines, picks, predictions and best bets.

The Cincinnati Bengals (1-0) visit the nation’s capital to take on the Washington Football Team (0-1) Friday in Week 2 of NFL preseason action. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET at FedExField. Below, we look at the Bengals vs. Washington odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

Bengals star QB Joe Burrow will not play Friday, but he is set to travel with the team. His absence will give QB Brandon Allen, who was underwhelming against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week, the start for Cincinnati.

Expect at least some of rookie WR Ja’Marr Chase and standout RB Joe Mixon. The Bengals beat the Bucs in their first preseason game, while Washington lost to the New England Patriots last week.

Washington QB Ryan Fitzpatrick should play at least one series, but he also wasn’t overly impressive in his short time against New England. Washington managed just 13 points last week.

Bengals at Washington odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Bengals 17, Washington 13

Money line

“LEAN” to the BENGALS (+180) as they should have the more better threats offensively. With a trio of talented receivers, the Bengals will be allotting snaps to many high-profile players.

While Washington will have arguably the best receiver on the field in WR Terry McLaurin, it’s unknown how much he’ll play, and regardless, he may not get many drives with Fitzpatrick.

Washington’s offense struggled in the first week with its star-studded defense not playing many series. Expect a similar story which would be beneficial for Cincinnati.

PLAY: Try our new, free daily Pick’em Challenge and win. Play now!

Against the spread

BET on the BENGALS +3.5 (-105) as the best bet in this entire game. The Bengals easily covered their Week 1 spread against the Super Bowl-winning Bucs.

On top of that, Washington’s backups on defense looked awful against New England, struggling to do anything against the ultra-accurate QB Mac Jones. WFT failed to cover the spread against the Pats.

Over/Under

BET on the UNDER 34.5 (-105) as the Bengals shouldn’t have their starters in past the first quarter and are already down Burrow. Neither team hit 20 points in their first action of the year.

Expect another low-scoring game.
