Washington-New York

0230 CET

Washington over New York 2.2+ Pinnacle 7 units

Great opportunity here to take advantage of public perception.This is a must win for New York to make the playoffs. Add that New York is a very public team and recently won the Super Bowl. Becasue of this oddsmakers had to open NY at -3. Sharps has bet this down under 3 now and that is very important reverse line movement.

Lets start with the results of Washington’s last 5 games. They are playing very well lately.

@OAK W 34-13

NO L 30-33 x

@PHI L 24-27

@DAL L 6-7

DEN W 27-17

These are all tough games played against good teams. Very good hard play from their part. This shows they have lots of motivation which is sometimes questionable with a team in their position. They just hired a new GM and their coach will get fired because of the bad start of the year.

This game is a huge rivalry so the players will be extra motivated. Add that wash can end the NY season by closing their playoff hopes. It’s not hard to figure out that they will give it their all tonight.

Another huge boost for Wash is that two of their best defenders are likely to play tonight. NT Haynesworth is the best in the league at his position and he will play today. This is very important since NY likes to run the ball. They have a big rb, Jacobs and Haynesworth is important to stop him. CB Hall is listed as questionable but I hear he will play. He is a great CB and obviously help to have him back. It’s worth mentioning that Wash has played without these 2 but will likely get even better with them.

New York has had problems this year. The reason they have a shot at the playoffs is that they have had a very easy schedule this year.

They have played terrible on the road this year.

PHI L 38-45

DAL W 31-24

@DEN L 6-26

ATL W 34-31 x

SD L 20-21

@PHI L 17-40

ARI L 17-24

@NO L 27-48

As you see their last 3 road games they have given up 114 points. That is terrible and they have obvious problems on defense. Their last 2 at home they have lost high scoring games. It’s pretty obvious Wash will be able to score in this game. If Wash can stop NY this should be a win for them.

Washington has the 7th best defense in the league. They have had important players out many games but with them playing today I like their chances.

The wrong team is favored here. I think fair odds are 1.75 on Wash so there is plenty value here. The HT spread is also a very good option here. I will take a significant bet there as well.
