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.

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.
