Oddsmakers currently have the Eagles listed as 8½-point favorites versus the Redskins, while the game’s total is sitting at 51.
Griffin threw for 236 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 46 yards on five carries, but was also sacked seven times in last week’s 24-13 loss to the New York Giants – Washington’s sixth consecutive defeat. “It’s not been a fun year,” Griffin said. “We’ve had a lot of turmoil, a lot of things going on. At the end of the day, you suit up and when your number’s called, be ready to play.” Wideout DeSean Jackson, released by Philadelphia in the offseason before signing with the Redskins, had five receptions for 117 yards and a touchdown versus the Eagles in September but insisted he has no extra motivation for the return matchup.
Washington lost its last outing, a 24-13 result against the Giants on December 14. The Redskins failed to cover in that game as a +7-point underdog, while the 37 combined points took the game UNDER the total.

Philadelphia rallied from a 21-point deficit before fading late against the Cowboys to suffer back-to-back defeats for the first time since October 2013. Quarterback Mark Sanchez threw for only 96 yards in a home loss to Seattle on Dec. 7 and was intercepted twice against Dallas – the fourth time in seven games he has been picked off two times. Consistency continues to be an issue for the running game, with LeSean McCoy averaging 57 yards rushing in the past two losses after amassing 289 yards and a pair of scores in the previous two games. Jeremy Maclin had 10 catches for 154 yards in Week 3, his fourth 100-yard game in five meetings versus Washington.
Philadelphia was a 38-27 loser in its last match at home against the Cowboys. They failed to cover the -3.5-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 65 sent OVER bettors to the payout window.
