AAA's EARLY 10* DIVISIONAL "ASSASSIN!" PERFECT 7-0 (100%) w/ 10* NFL Y-T-D!
(NFL) Washington vs. Philadelphia,
Point Spread: 7.00 | -132.00 Washington (Away)
Result: Win
This is a 10* ASSASSIN on the Washington Redskins.

The Washington Redskins (1-1) got back on track last week with the insertion of Kirk Cousins and I think they do enough to at least cover the spread in Philadelphia. The Redskins may have lost Robert Griffin in the 41-10 win over Jacksonville in Week 2 but the offense looked even better with backup Kirk Cousins under center. Cousins completed his first 12 passes and finished 22 of 33 for 250 yards and a pair of touchdowns against the woeful Jaguars. Alfred Morris ran for 85 yards, including two scores while Niles Paul had 99 yards to lead the team in receiving. Washington struggled in Week 1 vs. Houston's dominant defensive play, but had no problems with the inept Jaguars in piling up 485 yards of total offense. The Philadelphia Eagles (2-0) are riding high after a come from behind 30-27 win on Monday night football over Indianapolis. Darren Sproles had seven receptions for 152 yards to go along with a touchdown run. The Eagles became the fourth team in 30 years to win consecutive games in which it trailed in the second half by 14 or more points. There is a lot of hype surrounding the Eagles right now, but I think this is a few too many points for them to lay in this situation; this definitely sets up as a classic letdown spot in my opinion. I am not the only one who thinks RG3's injury is a blessing in disguise for Washington as Cousins is a far better fit for head coach Jay Gruden's offense: "He's handled being a backup like a pro," Gruden remarked of Cousins earlier in the week. "He's waited patiently, and now his time is going to come to really take this thing and run with it." The Redskins come into this contest with double revenge on their minds as well after losing both tilts to their division rivals last year (both SU and ATS). Keep in mind the Eagles are just 4-13 ATS in home games the last two seasons and only 1-3 ATS as home favorites of more than 3.5 points in the same span. Philadelphia will also be working on a short work week after the Monday Night game on the road. I think Washington has a lot to prove here and will play more desperately than a 2-0 Eagles team that has gotten away with some sloppy defensive play over the first two weeks. All signs point to a comfortable cover for WASHINGTON.
