This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the Washington Redskins.

While we won't be so bold as to call for an outright upset, we will in the end recommend grabbing as many points as you can as we look for the visitors to keep this one closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. Obviously we won't try to convince you that the Redskins are a great team which has gotten some unlucky breaks and that the Patriots are over-rated, we simply feel this is a great spot bet: after lowly Washington, New England has a prime-time game in New York next week, followed by a divisional contest vs. Buffalo and then a big game in Denver the week after that. It's not too hard to imagine the home side finally having a small mental letdown today as it looks ahead to the more gruelling part of its schedule (and note that the Patriots are 1-2 ATS their last three as a home favorite in the 10.5 to 14 points range). Washington on the other hand is coming out of its bye week focused on the task at hand and with some momentum of its own after beating Tampa Bay 31-30 in its last outing. Play on the REDSKINS.
