FedExField – Landover, MD
Kickoff: Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET
Line: Philadelphia -3, Total: 44.5

The Redskins will be looking for their fourth straight win when they host the Eagles in a big NFC East battle on Sunday.

Philadelphia suffered its first loss of the season last week, falling 24-23 as a three-point road favorite against Detroit. The Eagles fumbled the ball away when they were trying to run out the clock late in that one, and the Lions took advantage. Still, Philadelphia won-and-covered in its first three games of the season and has a great chance to win this one in Washington. The Redskins, have, however won three straight games (both SU and ATS) coming into this one and have beaten the Eagles in three straight meetings as well. Some trends worth pointing out when looking at this game are that Washington is 9-2 ATS versus teams with quarterbacks that have a completion percentage of 61% or better over the past three seasons. The Redskins are also 35-20 ATS versus teams that allow 90 or fewer rushing yards per game since 1992. For those interested in the total in this one, Philadelphia is 7-0 OVER when facing teams that allow five or more rushing yards per carry since 1992. As for injuries, CB Beshaud Breeland (Ankle) is questionable for Washington and OT Lane Johnson (Suspension) is out for 10 games for Philadelphia.

The Eagles should probably be 4-0, but 3-1 is still pretty good and they can really help themselves with a division win over this Redskins team on Sunday. QB Carson Wentz (1,007 yards, 7 TD, 1 INT) threw his first pick of the season last week, but that came in desperation time and he was pressing to make a big play. Outside of that pick, Wentz was brilliant once again. He was 25-for-33 with 238 yards and two touchdowns and now gets to face a below-average Redskins secondary. One guy that Philly would be wise to get involved is TE Zach Ertz (9 rec, 95 yards in two games). Ertz returned from a displaced rib to face the Lions last week and caught three passes for 37 yards in the loss. He is a big target that needs to be more involved moving forward. Defensively, the Eagles will hope to take the running game out of this one. That’s what Baltimore did to Washington a week ago, and the team was able to hold the Skins to only 16 points in that one. If Philly can keep the Redskins to a total like that then the Eagles will surely score enough points to win this one.

Washington has turned around its season with three straight victories and QB Kirk Cousins (1,432 yards, 7 TD, 5 INT) is the reason for that. Cousins threw for just one touchdown with a lousy three picks over the first two games of the year, but he has six touchdowns and only two interceptions since then. If he can come through with another big performance then the Redskins should cruise to a win in this one. Cousins just needs to avoid making the big mistake, as that has plagued him in his career. TE Jordan Reed (33 rec, 316 yards, 2 TD) will be Cousins’ favorite target in this one. Reed has caught 17 passes over the past two weeks and it should be expected that he’ll catch at least seven passes in this one as well. What would really help out the passing game would be RB Matt Jones (298 yards, 2 TD) finding some success on the ground in this one. He rushed for 117 yards and a touchdown in a win over Cleveland in Week 4, but he had just 31 rushing yards in the win over Baltimore. He’ll need to find a middle ground in this one, as the Redskins can’t afford to get nothing in the running game.
