Anything can happen in an opener, but I think the Eagles ought to be at least a little better than the Redskins this season, so I’m picking the Birds to end their five-game losing streak in the series.
My biggest concern is the Eagles’ o-line against a Washington defense that really created problems for it last season. If Carson Wentz has time to find his receivers, the Eagles definitely win.
Prediction: Eagles 26, Redskins 21.

It’s tough to lose six times in a row to one team. The last time the Eagles dropped that many was to the New York Giants from 1997-99.
