Week 15:

Eagles at Redskins, Sunday, December 15th at 1 PM EST, FedExField

These rivalries just go in cycles. Prior to the 2017 regular season, the Redskins had the winning streak over the Eagles, and Philly couldn’t seem to solve the riddle. Fast forward, and the Eagles now have a four-game winning streak over their foes from our great nation’s capital city.

Philly extends that winning streak to five games in this one as ‘The Birds’ are starting to show signs that they’re, again, getting hot at the right time.

They also begin to take a stranglehold on the division as the Cowboys, who, as we mentioned, have a history getting hot early and cooling down the stretch, are following that same formula again. They’ll drop their Week 15 game versus the defending NFC Champion Los Angeles Rams.

Prediction: Eagles 31, Redskins 17

Projected team records: Eagles (10-4), Cowboys (9-5), Redskins (5-9), Giants (5-9)

Projected divisional records: Eagles (3-1), Cowboys (4-0), Redskins (1-3), Giants (0-4)
