Kirk Cousins and Carson Wentz are two of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. But they don't get nearly the respect they deserve especially Cousins.
Because of Cousins, the Redskins have become a great Over team. They have gone above the total in 20 of their last 26 games and 13 of their past 16 road contests.
Cousins has the third-highest quarterback rating in the league. He's averaging 8.4 yards per attempt and has only two interceptions in 158 attempts. He's on pace to throw for more than 4,000 yards for a third consecutive year. Cousins accomplishes this without a star wide receiver or good running back. The Eagles are vulnerable in their secondary because of injuries.
Wentz has justified the Eagles' investment in him. He ranks No. 7 in the NFL in passing. He entered this week tied for second with the most touchdown passes with 13. Wentz has been picked off only once in his last 135 attempts.
The Redskins will be missing two key defenders, cornerback Josh Norman and lineman Jonathan Allen. Norman is one of the top cornerbacks in the league. Allen was one of the better run defenders. Washington also may be without its No. 2 cornerback, Bashaud Breeland. He suffered a knee injury last week and is questionable.
