The Eagles will take on the Washington Redskins today in their first NFC East matchup of the year, and it's a big one. After the Eagles play the Redskins, they will have the following six opponents:
Opponent | W | L |
Vikings | 5 | 0 |
At Cowboys | 4 | 1 |
At Giants | 2 | 3 |
Falcons | 4 | 1 |
At Seahawks | 3 | 1 |
Packers | 3 | 1 |
TOTAL | 21 | 7 |
The Eagles are three-point favorites today, and they need to take advantage of a banged-up Redskins team before facing the very difficult stretch of games noted above. Our staff of writers all see an Eagles win today, despite the Redskins' recent ownership of the Eagles.
The Redskins have arguably the worst run defense in the NFL. Look forward to the Eagles trying to take advantage of their run-stopping struggles, as well as these other four matchups to watch.
Here are the other games around the NFL today:

The obvious games of importance to the Eagles are Ravens-Giants and Cowboys-Packers. Despite all three NFC East rivals being underdogs a week ago, the Cowboys and Redskins pulled off wins. The NFC East standings:
