The Green Bay Packers find themselves in a significant funk and will try to avoid losing their fourth straight game Sunday night when they butt heads with the 5-3-1 Washington Redskins, who have covered in six of their last seven games. If G-Bay wants any shot at the playoffs, this is a game they really must win as it’s looking like just one team from the NFC North will get into the postseason.
- The Packers are 2-8 SU and 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games as road underdogs.
- The Redskins are 2-0 SU and ATS in their last 2 games as a home favorite.
- The total has gone OVER in 12 of the Redskins' last 14 games with a closing total of 50.5 or less.
The one thing the Packers had going for them before their embarrassing performance in Tennessee was their run defense. Before Week 10, Green Bay had the No. 1 rush D in the league. After getting 162 rush yards put up on them by the Titans in their 47-25 loss, the Packers now have the sixth most efficient run defense and their average yards given up per game skyrocketed.
Why is that significant? The Redskins are 3-0 when they’ve gotten more than 130 rushing yards in a game and they’ve rushed for 100 or more in five of their last six games. The Packers, however, are 0-4 when they’ve given up more than 69 rushing yards. Additionally, since their bye week the Packers are 0-4 when they’ve given up more than 170 passing yards – the Redskins have failed to breach 170 passing yards just once this season.
The 35-18 loss Kirk Cousins and the Redskins suffered to Green Bay in the wild-card round last year seems like a distant memory at this point and if the Packers remain underdogs, remember they are a horrendous 3-15 in the last 18 games they’ve gone into giving points.
