Redskins at Eagles 12/3/18 - NFL Picks & Predictions

NFC East Division rivals will clash on Sunday night, when the Washington Redskins invade Lincoln Financial Field to battle the Philadelphia Eagles. The Redskins are a game above .500 overall and tied with the Cowboys for first place. On Thanksgiving Day, Washington turned the ball over three times during a 31-23 loss at Dallas.

On Sunday, Philadelphia rallied from an eight-point halftime lead to score an important 25-22 home victory versus New York. Zach Ertz caught seven passes for 91 yards and a touchdown for the Eagles, who allowed 402 yards of total offense on the day.
