The Denver Broncos will be looking to claim their first victory in Washington since 1998 when they visit the Redskins on Sunday for a Week 16 contest at FedExField. The 5-9 Broncos are coming off a 25-13 win over Indianapolis as 2.5-point chalk last week on Thursday Night Football, while the Redskins recorded a 20-15 win over Arizona as 4-point chalk in their second straight victory on home turf.
- The total has gone OVER in the Broncos’ last three games against the Redskins.
- The favored team is 5-2 SU in the last seven games in this matchup.
- The Redskins are 0-4 SU and ATS in their last four games after a win.
After losing SU and ATS in seven straight outings, the Broncos will be aiming to continue a strong stretch run by winning and covering in their third straight outing. Last week’s win in Indianapolis brought a halt to an eight-game SU and ATS road slide, while the Broncos’ 25 points marked their highest point production on the road since November 2016. Denver has also produced at the sportsbooks in games following consecutive wins, going 7-3 ATS over its past 10.
The Redskins have their sights set on a third straight SU and ATS win on home turf. But Washington has struggled with consistency, failing to claim wins in consecutive weeks since Week 3. When the Redskins lose, they lose big, allowing 33.25 points per game in their eight defeats this season, but they have seen the point total go UNDER in their past two home dates.
Denver tallied a 45-21 win over Washington as 11-point home chalk in their last meeting in 2013, but the Broncos have failed to record wins in consecutive meetings with the Redskins since claiming a 38-16 victory as 6-point underdogs in their last win in Washington back in 1998.
