Philadelphia @ Washington
Current Records: Philadelphia 8-7; Washington 6-9
What to KnowAfter two games on the road, the Washington Football Team are heading back home. Washington and the Philadelphia Eagles will face off in an NFC East battle at 1 p.m. ET Sunday at FedEx Field. Philadelphia should still be riding high after a big win, while Washington will be looking to right the ship.
Washington was pulverized by the Dallas Cowboys 56-14 last week. Washington was in a tough position by the half, with the score already sitting at 42-7. QB Taylor Heinicke had a memorable game, but not in the way you want to be remembered: despite one touchdown, he threw two interceptions with only 5.5 yards per passing attempt.
Meanwhile, it was all tied up 3-3 at the half for the Eagles and the New York Giants last week, but Philadelphia stepped up in the second half for a cozy 34-10 victory. No one had a standout game offensively for Philadelphia, but they got scores from RB Boston Scott, LB Alex Singleton, and WR DeVonta Smith. QB Jalen Hurts ended up with a passer rating of 139.
Washington is expected to lose this next one by 4.5. Those betting on them against the spread shouldn't have high expectations for them since the team is 2-5-1 ATS when expected to lose.
Washington is now 6-9 while Philadelphia sits at 8-7. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Washington is stumbling into the matchup with the third most passing yards allowed per game in the league, having given up 280.2 on average. Philadelphia has experienced some struggles of their own as they are fourth worst in the NFL in passing yards per game, with only 212.2 on average. It's possible one of these Achilles' heels will wind up tripping the losing team up.
