The Washington Redskins are averaging 466 yards over their last two games<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Washington has alternated wins and losses over its last four games, as it picked up a 45-41 victory over the Chicago Bears as one-point home underdogs last Sunday, while going OVER the betting total of 47.5.\u00a0 The Redskins must create pressure against Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning if they wish to pull off an upset, which means Ryan Kerrigan and Brian Orakpo are key figures on the defensive end.\u00a0 The duo should have some type of success considering that Denver\u2019s starting offensive line tackles are likely out for this affair.\u00a0 Washington is 3-7 SU and 4-6 ATS in October the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER going 7-3 in those 10 opportunities.<\/p>\n

The Redskins have played their two best games all season long in the last two weeks since the bye week, as they\u2019ve gained an average of 466 yards and scored seven total touchdowns.\u00a0 Washington has gone over 200 yards rushing in back-to-back weeks for the first time since the 1984 campaign.\u00a0 Second-year quarterback Robert Griffin III recorded a season-high 105.2 passer rating last week, as he prepares to take on a defensive unit that allows a league-worst 339.1 passing yards per game.<\/p>\n

Denver will look to bounce back from its first loss of the season, as it suffered a 39-33 setback to the Indianapolis Colts as six-point road favorites in Week 7.\u00a0 The Broncos\u2019 298 points scored this season represents the highest total in NFL history through seven games, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the pro football odds page.\u00a0 Offensively, the team is the first in league history to have four players total at least 35 receptions through seven games.\u00a0 Denver is 21-5 SU and 14-9-3 ATS as a favorite since 2011, with the OVER going 17-7-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Broncos are averaging 42.6 points and 469.3 yards per game, with Manning throwing for 2,565 yards.\u00a0 Since the beginning of the 2012 season, Denver has outscored its opponents by a 469-231 combined margin in the second half\u2014getting outscored just three times in that 23-game span.\u00a0 Through seven games, the team leads the NFL in converting 52.8 percent of its third-down opportunities.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Redskins due to their 7-3 ATS record following a SU win.<\/p>\n
