The Redskins (3-7) lost at Dallas 6-7 in Week 11 and sit last in the NFC East. QB Jason Campbell made 24 of 37 passes for 256 yards with one interception; overall he’s thrown for 2,126 yards with 10 TD’s and nine interceptions for a 86.1 passer rating. RB Rock Cartwright had 13 carries for 67 yards and he made seven catches for 73 yards. WR Antwaan Randle El made five catches for 45 yards. The Redskins are the only club with fewer points over the past two seasons in the NFC than Washington is St. Louis — which has gone 3-23 over that span. The Redskins have only broken the 20-point barrier once this year, and if they don't do so in Philly, it is highly unlikely they will emerge victorious. The Eagles average 26.6ppg and they average 29ppg at home. Their offense is ranked 24th overall with a 21st ranked pass game that’ll be up against a tough Eagles defense that is ranked eighth best with a ninth ranked pass defense. RB Ladell Betts has taken over ground duties for RB Clinton Portis, who’s doubtful for Sunday’s game, he has 418 yards (combo) with two TD’s in three games. It’s all about defense for the Skins; they’ll put the league best pass defense up against the Eagles 12th ranked pass game. LCB Asante Samuel has five interceptions for the Skins and he’ll be looking to pick off QB McNabb who’s thrown an interception or more, in four straight games . QB Jason Campbell is 2-0 in his career at Philadelphia. The Redskins have averaged 16.7ppg and allowed 18.3ppg in their last three games. They are 0-5 SU on the road where they average 14.2ppg and allow 20ppg. They are 3-6-1 ATS and 4-6 over/under.
The Eagles (6-4) won in Chicago 24-20 in Week 11 and still sit second in the NFC East. QB Donovan McNabb made 23 of 32 passes for 244 yards with two TD’s and one interception; overall he’s thrown for 1,929 yards with 14 TD’s and five interceptions for a 95.9 passer rating. RB LeSean McCoy had 20 carries for 99 yards with a TD, while DeSean Jackson made eight catches for 107 yards with a TD. WR Jason Avant also chipped in with a TD. The Eagles enter this game with serious concerns at the linebacker position. On one side they are starting Will Witherspoon, in the middle they are going with Joe Mays, who has never started a game in two seasons and Chris Gocong is established on the other side. But their backups are veteran Jeremiah Trotter, who was signed in Week 5 after missing all of last season, and rookie Moises Fokou. This crew will have to perform well against a Redskins team that prefers to attack the middle of the field with screens, slants and quick outs. The Eagles offense is ranked 11th overall with a 12th ranked pass game and an 18th ranked running game. RB LeSean McCoy leads the Eagles with 482 yards on the ground with three TD’s, while DeSean Jackson leads with seven TD’s. TE Brent Celek has a touchdown in three of his past four games . The Eagles have averaged 21ppg and allowed 23.7ppg in their last three games. They are 3-2 SU at home where they average 29ppg and allow 22.6ppg. They are 6-4 ATS and 7-3 over/under.
