The Philadelphia Eagles (7-8) will be visiting the Redskins (5-10) in an NFC East divisional contest in their final game. Both squads are at the bottom of the division standings and have been removed from playoff competition this year. Philadelphia had a lot of media hype previous to the start of the year being tagged the dream team with their impact in the free agent market.

However, they haven’t quite lived up to the extremely high anticipations and have had their fair share of struggles this year with injuries to essential competitors such as quarterback 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 year.

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 weak offensive line will be hard to get over with essential 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 Eagles are averaging about 400 yards on offense per game and it is possible to expect them to do just as well with the duo of a well Michael Vick at quarterback and running back LeSean McCoy. Philadelphia cornerback Asante Samuel is not likely to play with a hamstring injury.

In spite of both squads not earning a playoff place 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 Philadelphia Eagles are favorites in this specific game to the underdog Redskins with a line of -9. The over/under for points is at 46.5.
