That’s what eating too many turnovers (15 this season) will do to a good team. More bad news for the Birds: NFL teams that are 0-4 SU and ATS in their last four games, while losing all as a favorite, are 3-6 SU and 1-8 ATS in the history of our database dating back to 1980. The Eagles was a 31-24 loser in its last match on the road against the Bills. They failed to cover the 3–point betting spread as favorites on that occasion. Worse, 0-3 SU and ATS NFL teams in their last three games, with all three losses coming as a favorite, are 1-10 SU and ATS since 1987 if the last loss was by 7 or more points. Jeez, can the Eagles ever catch a break? To make matters more difficult, the well-rested Redskins have held all four foes to season low – or 2nd low – yardage marks this betting season. Further complicating things, head hog Mike Shanahan is 15-7 SU and ATS in his NFL career when his teams are playing with rest, including 5-1 SU and ATS when taking on a sub .400 opponent. Revenge from a 59-28 loss on this field from when these two teams last met last season finds the Hogs in an unforgiving mode. Now that we’ve unwrapped this Sara Lee delicacy, this Philly-buster looks pretty delectable. The cuurent betting line is the Redskins listed as 3-point favorites against the Eagles, and the game's total is sitting at 47½. Betting Pick: Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Redskins betting trends: The total has gone OVER in 8 of Philadelphia's last 9 games on the road
