Will the Washington Redskins make the 2020 NFL playoffs?
Yes: +900 | No: -1667
The NFC East may not be the best division in football, but that’s partly because the Redskins are one of the worst teams heading into the 2020 campaign. They’re going to have a hard time even approaching .500, with the playoffs almost certainly out of sight for Washington.
That being said, neither line warrants a wager. Washington is too much of a long shot to bet YES (+900), while the line of -1667 on NO doesn’t leave enough room for reward compared to the risk.
I’ll PASS on this one.

How many games will the Washington Redskins win in 2020? Bands
| BAND | ODDS |
| 0-4 Wins | +120 |
| 5-8 Wins | -159 |
| 9-12 Wins | +2000 |
| 13-16 Wins | +100000 |
Clearly, oddsmakers don’t think the Redskins will win more than eight games. The favorite is for them to finish with 5-8 wins, which is on par with their last four seasons – all of which have ended with eight wins or less.
Much of their 2020 season hinges on the play of QB Dwayne Haskins, who struggled as a rookie in 2019. But there are some winnable games on the out-of-division schedule, including games against the Cleveland Browns, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals and Detroit Lions.
Washington won’t go on to win 10 games, but with a defense that should be improved and an offense that has enough playmakers to be competitive, the Redskins should finish with 5-8 WINS, so that’s my pick here at –159.
New to sports betting? A $10 bet on 5-8 WINS (-159) returns a profit of $6.29 if it hits.
How many games will the Washington Redskins win in 2020? Exact number
The Redskins only won three games last year, but they added Ohio State DE Chase Young with their first-round pick (2nd overall), signed LB Thomas Davis and drafted RB Antonio Gibson (Memphis) in the third round, bringing some more explosiveness to the offense.
WR Terry McLaurin is also a budding star and RB Derrius Guice is finally healthy again. They are two good playmakers for Haskins to work with.
That being said, I’d wager on SIX WINS (+320) for Washington in 2020, just based on the expectation that Haskins will improve and the fact that there are some easier games on the schedule. A $10 winning bet would profit $32.
