Green Bay is a 3-point underdog at FedExField at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. In their last seven games played in the month of November, the Packers are 1-6 SU and ATS.
The Packers came into the 2016 season as one of the favorites to win the NFC and the Super Bowl, but their playoff hopes are in doubt heading into the stretch as the team has a 4-5 SU and 3-5-1 ATS record through nine games.
Green Bay has lost each of its last three games, getting gashed for 111 points in those outings including a 47-25 loss to the Tennessee Titans last week. The offense and the running game have had issues this season, but suddenly the defense has risen to the top as the Packers’ biggest problem.
This Packers team hasn’t shown much bite as an underdog in recent years, posting a 3-15 SU and 6-11-1 ATS record in its last 18 games as one, per the OddsShark NFL Database.
Betting Line / Total: Washington -3 / 49 Points
Trend: The Packers are 7-1-1 ATS in their last nine games against Washington.
Trend: The Packers are 3-15 SU in their last 18 games as an underdog.
After starting the season off with a disappointing 0-2 SU and ATS record, Washington has bounced back to compile a 5-1-1 SU and 6-1 ATS record over its last seven games. Seven of Washington’s last eight games have been decided by a touchdown or less, including last Sunday’s hard-fought 26-20 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
The victory was Washington’s third straight win and cover at home. Washington is 2-8 ATS in their last 10 games as a betting favorite.
Sunday night’s total is set at 49 points. The OVER is 12-2 in Washington’s last 14 games with a closing total of 50.5 points or less.
Thanks to the struggles of the Detroit Lions and Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay is just one game behind those two teams in the standings for the top spot in the NFC North. An upset win this week would get the Packers right back into the thick of things at 5-5, while a fourth straight loss would put the team’s playoff chances in peril.
