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

However, they have not quite lived up to the exceptionally high expectations and have had their fair share of battles this season with injuries to crucial players such as qb Michael Vick. They still have something to play for as Eagles head coach Andy Reid is perhaps on the hot seat for remaining the squad’s coach next season.

With an injury to his toe, Redskins running back Roy Helu is doubtful to play one time again. With crucial Eagles defensive players doing well such as defensive ends Jason Babin and Trent Cole, their deficiency of depth at the running game combined with their vulnerable offensive line will be difficult to overcome. It will be up to Redskins qb Rex Grossman to have an awesome passing game for them to have any kind of chance. The Eagles are averaging about 400 yards on offense per game and you are able to expect them to do just as well with the team of a healthy Michael Vick at qb and running back LeSean McCoy. Philadelphia cornerback Asante Samuel isn’t likely to compete with a hamstring injury.

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