The Eagles (7-8) will be visiting the Redskins (5-10) in an NFC East divisional game in their final game. Both squads are at the bottom of the division rankings and have been eliminated from playoff contention this season. Philadelphia had a huge amount of media buzz previous to the start of the season being labeled the dream team with their impact in the free agent market.

Nevertheless, they have not quite lived up to the particularly high expectations and have had their fair share of battles this season with accidents to essential players such as qb Michael Vick. They still have something to play for as Eagles head coach Andy Reid is possibly on the hot seat for remaining the team’s coach next season.

Redskins running back Roy Helu is sketchy to play once again with an injury to his toe. With essential Eagles defensive players doing well such as defensive ends Jason Babin and Trent Cole, their lack of depth at the running game combined with their weak offensive line will be hard to triumph over. It will likely be up to Redskins qb Rex Grossman to have an excellent passing game for them to have any kind of chance. The Eagles are averaging around 400 yards on offense per game and you can expect them to do just as well with the pair of a healthy Michael Vick at qb and running back LeSean McCoy. Philadelphia cornerback Asante Samuel is not likely to play with a hamstring injury.

Even with both squads not earning a playoff place for the 2011 season, they still would like to end on a good note and come out on top for the final game of the year. The Eagles are faves in this specific game to the longshot Redskins with a line of -9. The over/under for points is at 46.5.
