WASHINGTON REDSKINS
NFC L-East: Over the last 4 seasons, the Redskins are 9-21 SU against the rest of the NFC East. That is the worst record between NFC east teams over that time span. They are 11-17-2 ATS during that 5 year run, and they managed to play at or under the total in 19 of the 30 contests. Last season, the Redskins were 1-4-1 ATS against the NFC East, and only 1-5 SU. Needless to say, they finished at the bottom of a division that staked claim to 3 playoff teams in 2006. Over the last 5 seasons, the Redskins surely are the Least in the NFC East.
Over or Under: The Washington Redskins are 29-34-3 O/U over the last 4 seasons. Washington was 7-6-3 O/U last season, going up and down most of the year with no real trends to speak of. One trend that might be relevant is the Redskins ability to finish at or below the total in conference games last seasons. The Skins were 1-2-3 O/U against division foes last season. Over the last 4 seasons, when playing a conference rival, the Redskins are 8-13-3 O/U.
Against the Spread: The Redskins are 31-32-4 ATS over the last 4 years. The Redskins had a down year in the NFL rankings in 2006, and it showed up in the ATS record book as well – the Skins went 5-9-2 ATS last season. The Skins were 1-4-1 ATS against the rest of the NFC East last season. Considering that, they weren’t too bad against everyone else, as they went 4-4-1 against no NFC East squads. Last year’s 5-9-2 ATS mark was the worst ATS record for Washington in any of their last 10 seasons.
Straight Up: Washington was 27-39 SU from 2003-2006. Last season, the Redskins were 5-11 SU, winning 2 games in a row only once all season. The Redskins went 3-9 to end the season, struggling to their 4th losing season in the last 5 years. Washington won 3 of their 5 games at home last season, going 3-5 in Washington. The Redskins have made it to the playoffs once in their last 7 seasons.
Coin-Flip Favorites: The Washington Redskins haven’t done much for the term “favorite” over the last 4 seasons. The Skins have been as close to a straight up coin-flip as you can get since 2003, going 13-12 when listed as the favorite. That means almost half the games Washington is expected to win, they lose. Even worse, the Skins are 10-13-2 ATS when listed as a favorite. It sounds like they’re only favored to do very little. The Skins were favored 3 times last season, they lost one to Minnesota and one to Tennessee while taking down Houston to go 1-2 ATS and SU as a favorite in 2006. That’s just about average over the last 4 years.
