Account of inconsistent play has made Green Bay and Washington teams with more questions than answers. In turn the Packers still seem to be a one-man team totally reliant upon Aaron Rodgers. Meanwhile the Redskins are totally hamstrung as always by owner Daniel Snyder. Few owners have spent so much for so little than Danny Boy. In fact, during his tenure since 1999 Washington has a record of 133-172-1. To sum up players, managers, and coaches have all come and gone. Yet only Snyder has remained. Supplementing that poor performance is Washington’s bad NFL betting reputation.

Green Bay Packers
Last Sunday the Packers had a rare 29-29 tie against Minnesota. Above all the Packers did get the money as two-point NFL betting home dogs. Minnesota outgained Green Bay 480-351 but could not finish. Most important of all the Packers surrendered a 22-yard TD pass and two-point conversion with 31 seconds to play. In comparison it is usually the Packers who pull games out at the end. As a result, Green Bay is 1-0-1 straight up and 1-1 vs. the line. Both of their games went over the total.
Washington Redskins
Conversely Washington is 1-1 straight up and against the spread. Both of the Redskins games have gone under the total. Certainly, last week was quite frustrating with a 21-9 home loss to Indianapolis. Such as the Redskins were six point chalks the game was quite a letdown. Equally maddening was that Washington outgained the Colts 334-281. Increasingly it was a rough day for quarterback Alex Smith. To begin with he was 33/46 for 292 yards passing. But he failed to finish drives.Smith was sent packing by the Kansas City Chiefs for his inability to close. Starting with his days in San Francisco Smith has been seen as a decent quarterback. Commencing with his playoff failures he has also been seen as expendable.
Stats to Consider
Green Bay has been a poor wagering value as a road favorite. Consider as an example their record of 2-5 vs. the odds in that role. Eight of their last ten as away chalks also went over the total. Balanced against that is Washington’s weak mark as a home dog. To demonstrate the Redskins are 2-4 against the line in that situation. Five of their last seven as home dogs went over the total.
Team vs. Team
Green Bay has had the offshore betting edge in this head to head series. To be exact Washington has paid in just two of the last 10 meetings. Four of the last six between these teams went over the total. However, at FedEx Field the Redskins have covered two of the last three. And three of the last four in this series at Washington went over the total.
Matchup to Watch
A clear difference in this matchup is at quarterback. Compared to Aaron Rodgers Washington’s Alex Smith is subpar. From this point the Packers hold the NFL betting advantage.
Packers vs. Redskins NFL Betting Odds Pick
In sum the Redskins are simply too unreliable. While the Packers are not perfect they will have the best player on the field.
