The defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles need a win and help on Sunday to get into the NFL Playoffs, and it starts with a showdown with the rival Washington Redskins, kicking off at 4:25 p.m. ET in the nation's capital. Philly (8-7) needs to beat Washington (7-8) and have the Bears take out the Vikings in order to get back into the postseason and defend its championship. In the latest Eagles vs. Redskins odds, Philadelphia is favored by 6.5 points with the over-under at 42. Each team is unbeaten against the spread the last two weeks, so before backing either side with your own Eagles vs. Redskins picks, you'll want to see what the SportsLine Projection Model has to say.

SportsLine's proprietary computer model went 176-80 straight-up last season and beat over 95 percent of CBS Sports Office Pool players in 2016 and '17. It also performed better than 98 percent of experts tracked by NFLPickWatch.com during that span. Additionally, it went 48-34 on A-rated picks against the spread last season and $100 bettors who have followed it the past two seasons are up nearly $4,000. 

The model has continued to nail its top-rated picks in 2018, entering Week 17 on a blistering 16-6 run. For the season, it is now 30-15 on all top-rated picks, extending its two-year run to a strong 78-49. And when it comes to all straight-up picks, the model is 159-78 on the season, ranking in the top five on NFLPickWatch.com. Anyone who has followed it is way up. 

Now, it has simulated Eagles vs. Redskins (stream live on fuboTV) 10,000 times and the results are in. We can tell you that the model is leaning toward the over, and it has also generated a point-spread pick that hits in well over 50 percent of simulations. You can only see that pick at SportsLine.

The computer knows the Eagles have been on a roll since backup QB Nick Foles took the reins, with wins over the Rams (30-23) and Texans (32-30). Foles went off for 471 yards and four touchdowns in last week's victory over Houston and will be under center on Sunday with Carson Wentz (back) out once again in Week 17.

The Eagles have won four of five, including a 28-13 win over Washington on Dec. 3. Wentz went off for 306 yards in that game, while running back Josh Adams rushed for 85 more and the maligned Eagles pass defense allowed just 150 yards through the air. The Eagles covered that game as 5.5-point favorites. Only once this 2010 has this NFC East rivalry not ended in a season sweep for one team.

But just because the Eagles are highly motivated doesn't mean they'll cover the Redskins vs. Eagles spread.

Josh Johnson gets the start at quarterback for Washington. He led the team to a 16-13 win at Jacksonville two weeks ago, but tossed two interceptions in a 25-16 loss at Tennessee last Sunday. Fortunately, he faces an Eagles defense that has just nine picks and ranks 31st against the pass at 301 yards per game. 

Meanwhile, 33-year-old running back Adrian Peterson is having a Comeback Player of the Year-worthy season. Peterson gained 119 yards last week to eclipse 1,000 on the season and had a 90-yard touchdown run against the Eagles on Dec. 3.

Visit SportsLine now to see which side of the Redskins vs. Eagles spread you need to jump on Sunday, all from the computer model that has returned nearly $4,000 to $100 bettors over the past two seasons.
