Redskins v/s Eagles Predictions

[SBXVII]

Skins win.

I always figure we will split the division against the other rivals, at the beginning of the year I thought we would beat Dallas twice now I'm at about 50/50 that happens. However the Eagles are another story. I was worried about them at the beginning of the season, now not so much.

Out of the 7 games left I could see us going 9-7 but that is a lot of work and luck. I think we can beat the Eagles twice, Dallas twice, Browns, and for the split of the division we beat the Giants at home. Our loss would be to the Ravens.

but I could also see us being 6-10, beating the Eagles twice, and Dallas once, and losing the rest. So who knows.

You may want to reconsider that line of thinking. Skins are 19-42 against the division since 2002. In fact, the Skins are significantly better against non-divisional foes (49-59 in that time). I've made the point before that this is an indication of apathy among the players, as the difference between those numbers shows that the Skins don't step it up against rivals (to which I was accused of looking too much into statistics...)

That being said, because this is a divisional game, the Redskins are far more likely to lose.
