TOTAL OF THE WEEK (NFL) 23-11 O/U Run!
(NFL) Washington vs. Philadelphia,
Total: 45.00 | -103.00 Under
Result: Loss
The set-up: This is a big game for both teams. The winner of this divisional contest will remain on the fringes of the wild card spot, while the other will officially be eliminated from contention. With so much on the line, I'm expecting each side to open up the playbook The Redskins lost starting QB Alex Smith to injury and Colt McCoy was unable to to lead Washington to a win on Thanksgiving Day, eventually falling 31-23 to the Cowboys. Philadelphia's stagnant offense will have its opportunities today against a Redskins unit which allowed Dallas to score three of its four TD's by covering at least 16 yards. The Eagles kept their slim hopes alive in last week's come from behind 25-22 win over the Giants and I think they carry that confidence and momentum over here.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Washington has seen the total go "over" the numb run eight of its last 11 as a road underdog, while Philadelphia has seen the total go "over" in ten of its last 15 vs. the division. This number is low, play the "over."
