The Philadelphia Eagles (7-8) will be visiting the Washington Redskins (5-10) in an NFC East divisional competition in their final game. Both teams have been eliminated from playoff contention this season and are at the bottom of the division rankings. Philadelphia had a ton of media hype prior to the start of the season being labeled the dream team with their splash in the free agent market.

Nevertheless, they have not quite lived up to the incredibly high expectations and have had their fair share of struggles this season with accidents to crucial competitors such as qb Michael Vick. They still have something to play for as Eagles head coach Andy Reid is possibly on the hot seat for remaining the squad’s coach next season.

Washington Redskins running back Roy Helu is doubtful to play one time again with an injury to his toe. Their lack of depth at the running game combined with their vulnerable offensive line will be challenging to get over with crucial Eagles defensive competitors doing well such as defensive ends Jason Babin and Trent Cole. It will be up to Redskins qb Rex Grossman to have an excellent passing game for them to have any type of chance. The Eagles are averaging around 400 yards on offense per game and it is possible to anticipate them to do just as well with the team of a well Michael Vick at qb and running back LeSean McCoy. Philadelphia cornerback Asante Samuel isn’t likely to play with a hamstring injury.

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