Trends

- The Redskins are 3-0 ATS in their last three visits to New England.

- The Patriots are 10-0 ATS in their last 10 regular season starts.

- Since installing Field Turf at Gillette Stadium, the Pats played 1 under that has been followed by six-straight overs. The turf first went into use before the Pats’ matchup vs. Chicago in Week 12, 2006.

WOL Playcall: New England head coach Bill Belichick didn't get his reputation by allowing his teams to look past their current opponent so the Pats should be prepared for the game against Washington. Still 16½-points is a pretty steep line, plus Washington has had good ATS numbers in the last while. Take Washington plus the points.
