The Eagles (7-8) will be visiting the Redskins (5-10) in an NFC East divisional match-up in their final game. Both squads are at the bottom of the division standings and have been eliminated from playoff contention this year. Philadelphia had a ton of press hype before the start of the year being branded the dream team with their impact in the free agent market.

Nevertheless, they have not quite lived up to the exceedingly high anticipations and have had their fair share of battles this year with accidents to important competitors such as quarterback Michael Vick. Considering Philadelphia Eagles head coach Andy Reid is possibly on the hot seat for remaining the team’s coach next year, they still have something to play for.

With an injury to his toe, Redskins running back Roy Helu is sketchy to play once again. Their absence of depth at the running game combined with their vulnerable offensive line will be difficult to get over with important Philadelphia Eagles defensive competitors doing well such as defensive ends Jason Babin and Trent Cole. It’ll be up to Washington Redskins quarterback Rex Grossman to have a great passing game for them to have any kind of chance. The Philadelphia Eagles are averaging about 400 yards on offense per game and you are able to anticipate them to do just as well with the duo of a healthy Michael Vick at quarterback and running back LeSean McCoy. Philadelphia cornerback Asante Samuel is not likely to compete with a hamstring injury.

In spite of both squads not earning a playoff spot for the 2011 year, they still would like to end on a good note and come out at the top for the final game of the year. The Eagles are faves in this specific game to the longshot Redskins with a line of -9. The over/under for points is at 46.5.
