The Philadelphia Eagles won both meetings against the Washington Redskins in 2013<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Washington has split its first two games of the season, as it comes off a 41-10 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars as five-point home favorites Sunday\u2014winning the statistical battle by 301 yards.\u00a0 The Redskins will be led by quarterback Kirk Cousins due to an injured Robert Griffin III, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your Week 4 NFL predictions, but he\u2019s a capable replacement after completing 22-of-33 passes for 250 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions last week.\u00a0 Washington is 1-7 SU and 3-5 ATS as road underdogs of 3.5 to 7 points since 2012, with the UNDER going 5-3 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Redskins are allowing just 234.5 yards per game, which is important to consider when looking over the NFL betting lines, while it ranks fourth in giving up just 13.5 points per game.\u00a0 Washington is going to have a hard time matching those numbers in this matchup, with Philadelphia having LeSean McCoy and Darren Sproles.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that the team dropped both meetings last year\u2014allowing 57 combined points in its first go around against Chip Kelly\u2019s offense.<\/p>\n

Philadelphia has won and covered the spread in its first two games this season\u2014winning the statistical battle by a triple-digit margin in each of those affairs.\u00a0 The Eagles still have some things to work on, especially in the red zone due to scoring three touchdowns and four field goals in eight opportunities.\u00a0 Starting quarterback Nick Foles has put together a dismal 45.8 passer rating inside opponents\u2019 20-yard lines.\u00a0 Philadelphia is 2-2 SU and 1-3 ATS as home favorites of 3.5 to 7 points over the last two-plus seasons, with the UNDER cashing in three of those contests.<\/p>\n

The Eagles are 9-1 in regular-season contests since Nov. 3\u2014averaging NFL bests of 33.0 points and 437.7 total yards, which includes a 5-0 mark at home.\u00a0 Sproles has been truly dynamic since being acquired in the offseason from the New Orleans Saints, which includes seven catches for 152 yards last week.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely play the total, as the OVER is 4-0 in the Redskins last four games following a SU win of 14 or more points.<\/p>\n
