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.
