Washington Redskins vs Philadelphia Eagles 9/9/19 NFL Bettings Odd and Preview

The Washington Redskins open their 2019 NFL season by visiting the Philadelphia Eagles at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on September 9, 2019.

Washington probably had the best first round of any team in the 2019 NFL draft. They picked up Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins and Mississippi State edge-rusher Montez Sweat. Haskins should help solidify a position left vacant due to Alex Smith’s injury. Remember that the Redskins also picked up Case Keenum during the offseason. As for Sweat, he joins Ryan Kerrigan, Jonathan Allen, Matt Ioannidis and Da’Ron Payne in a front seven that was already solid.

The Eagles no longer have Nick Foles who will be throwing the football for the Jaguars this season. Philadelphia turned to Foles in each of the last two seasons with Carson Wentz hurt but now that he’s gone, Wentz’s health is a cause of concern. Wentz is healthy and if they were an Alshon Jeffrey routine catch away from making the conference title game last season, big things should be in store this year. But going back, Wentz must stay healthy as there is no more plan B this time around. Jordan Hicks is gone and the middle linebacker position may be a potential worry. Likewise, the defensive line may have holes after trading Michael Bennett.

Who Wins?

The Redskins are 3-7 SU in their last 10 games played.W ashington is 3-3 SU in their last six games played on the road. The Eagles are 6-4 SU in their last 10 games played. Philadelphia is 3-1 SU in their last four games played at home. Head to head, the Eagles are 4-0 SU in their last four games played against the Redskins. Philadelphia is also 4-2 SU in their last six home games against Washington.

The Redskins are 4-1 SU in their last five September games. Philadelphia is 7-1 SU in their last eight home games played in the month of September. The Eagles are 6-2 SU in their last eight games against NFC East Teams and 5-2 SU in their last seven games against the NFC.

The Eagles are solid NFL betting favorites here and I agree 100%. The one main issue with Philly is Carson Wentz’s health but given that he is healthy now and he will be healthy come September 9th, I don’t think the Eagles will have a problem in beating the Redskins here. They are as good and balanced as the elite teams are. Philadelphia is battle-tested and well-coached and those should already be a huge advantage over a team that doesn’t have a steady quarterback yet. Prediction: Philadelphia Eagles

Other Bets To Make

Washington is 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games played. The Redskins are 4-2 SU in their last six games played on the road. Philadelphia is 5-4-1 ATS in their last 10 games played. The Eagles are 1-2-1 ATS in their last four games played at home. Head to head, the Eagles are 4-0 ATS in their last four games played against the Redskins. However, Washington is 6-4 ATS in their last 10 games played in Philadelphia.

Washington is 4-1 ATS in their last five September games. Philadelphia is 4-2 ATS in their last six September home games. The Eagles are 2-4 ATS in their last six home games against the NFC East but 5-1 ATS in their last six against the NFC Conference. I respect these historical trends but I think a 100% Carson Wentz definitely makes the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense better. I think the Eagles win this one by a two-touchdown spread. Prediction: Eagles -8.5

The under was 9-7 in Washington’s 16 games played last season. The total has gone under in five out of the eight road games played by the Redskins last season. The total has gone under in six out of the last 10 games played by the Eagles. The under is 6-2 in the Eagles eight home games played last season. Head to head, the under is 3-1 in the last four meetings between these two teams. However, the over is 4-1 in the last five games played in Philadelphia.

The under is 3-1 in the Redskins’ last four games played in September. The under is 3-1 in the Eagles’ last four home games against the NFC East. The under is also 5-1-1 in Philadelphia’s last seven home games against the NFC.  Philadelphia ranked just 18th in scoring last season at 22.9 points per game. Washington was 29th at 17.6 points per game. I expect Philadelphia’s offense to improve with a healthy Carson Wentz but I don’t expect the Washington Redskins to keep up without Alex Smith. Prediction: Under 46.5
