Washington is 1-5 ATS in their last 6 games overall and 1-4 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games against the NFC. Green Bay is 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games and 5-0 ATS in their last 5 games overall while the under is 5-1 in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record.

The points with Washington are tempting because we know how talented that defensive unit is and what it can do with it’s full potential. However, Green Bay has been on fire and have won their two home games so far this season by double-digits. Washington’s played some tough customers this season and have split a pair of road games, but we’re seeing the perils of Taylor Heinicke as your starting QB with the WFT. I’ll lay the points with Green Bay here to keep the winning ways going.
