It’s over. Finally. The Eagles, a team that should have been eliminated from playoff contention a month ago, cannot win the NFC East. A win against the Cowboys would have set up a win-and-in prime time matchup with Washington this Sunday night, but that did not happen. Instead, the Eagles will have to decide to play for an all-important 5-10-1 record or lose and ensure themselves of a more favorable draft pick. While the Eagles should not even think about winning this game, Washington can win the NFC East with a victory in Week 17. Despite getting the best of the first meeting and holding a clear edge in terms of motivation, Washington opened as a short road favorite. Let’s take a look at the Washington vs. Eagles line ahead of this Week 17 matchup.

The Washington Football Team vs. Philadelphia Eagles line is currently set at Eagles -1.5. The over-under is not set. The Eagles are a -124 moneyline favorite, while Washington is a +102 moneyline underdog.

Things looked good for the Eagles early on at Dallas as they quickly built a 14-3 lead. However, they were unable to maintain the momentum and were methodically dismantled by the Cowboys during a 34-3 run to close the game. Jalen Hurts struggled with turnovers and the Eagles had no answers for Andy Dalton and the Dallas passing attack. For the Eagles, it was perhaps the most disastrous and disheartening effort in a season filled with them, bringing about the merciful end to a wasted season this Sunday night.

Hey, speaking of disastrous, Washington will come to Philly fresh off a 20-13 clunker in which it failed to seize an opportunity to win the division. Football Team will get another shot at it this week.

Here is the current betting line, odds, spread, and total for the Washington vs. Eagles Week 17 matchup on the PA online sports betting market as of [current_date format=’F j, Y g:i A’].

Moneyline

The Eagles moneyline is priced at -124, while Washington is +102 over at FanDuel Sportsbook.

The Eagles were a public favorite last week against the Cowboys and the public was burned. Badly. This week, Washington should draw some considerable action given it has something on the line– even if it is a team that doesn’t inspire much confidence.

Total

The over-under for the Washington vs. Eagles game is not yet set at DraftKings Sportsbook.

After staying under the total for six straight weeks, the Eagles have now played back-to-back games over the total. A late fourth-quarter touchdown by Dallas busted the number of 49.5 points.

Washington features one of the better defenses in the league. The Eagles cannot say the same. A once respectable unit has been shredded by injuries, leading two consecutive performances in which it surrendered over 500 yards of total offense.

The under is 8-7 in games featuring the Eagles this season. It is 10-5 in games featuring Washington.
