NFL Pick
Philadelphia at Washington 5 pm
Green Bay at Chicago 8:20 pm
PICK: 6 point Teaser: Eagles to -1 / Packers to +7.5 (-120) BetUS 1 star
The Eagles appear to have rebounded after a 3 game losing streak, against teams that were playing very well at the time. Washington has given Philly some trouble the past 2 or 3 seasons but I have watched Mariota enough in his career to know that he likely cannot beat this Eagles pass defense unless Philly just self-destructs.
-WSH defense #27 in yards per rush allowed
-WSH defense #32 in yards per pass allowed
-WSH 1.4 giveaways per game #25 in the NFL
-PHI defense #1 in QB completion % allowed\
-Mariota 54.8% completions last 3 gams
-Hurts 11 TD / 1 INT last 3 seasons vs WSH
Green Bay is battling some injuries, but still, this Bears defense, despite all of the take-aways, is giving up yards against good teams. The Bears are a bit fraudulent when you look at their wins and who they were against or when they faced the team. 2 biggest wins for the Bears were against Baltimore and Philly, both at their lowest points in the season. I can’t see Chicago running away from the Packers here.
