The Washington Football Team will hit the field for their first of three preseason games on Thursday night when they’ll lock horns against the New England Patriots, who’ll be looking to rebound from their first playoff-less season since way back in 2013.
There’s dozens of storylines fans of the Football Team will be monitoring on Thursday, with the most notable being the play of Ryan Fitzpatrick. Ron Rivera confirmed to the media over the weekend that the 38-year-old will start under center, though it’s unclear when he’ll be pulled.
Fans will be intrigued to see how Washington’s vaunted defensive line manages against the Patriots’ revamped offense line. You also can’t forget about the countless players on WFT who’ll be looking to make a strong impression on the coaching staff before roster cuts.
Having said all that, the return of the NFL — even though it’s just preseason — marks the long-awaited return of betting football! Will the Football Team be favorited in its first game since its gutting playoff loss to Tampa Bay? Let’s see what the odds have to say.
Football Team vs Patriots Odds Week 1 Preseason
Betting NFL preseason isn’t for everyone, but here are the odds if you’re interested:
Spread: WFT -2.0/ Patriots +2.0
Moneyline: WFT -130/Patriots +110
Over/Under: 35.0
Football Team vs Patriots Prediction for Week 1 Preseason
It wasn’t surprising to see the over/under set at 35.0 The first week of preseason is generally a slugfest of offenses trying (and mostly failing) to establish a rhythm. Having said that, we like Washington to win this game. After all, WFT will deploy Fitzpatrick under center before he eventually gives way to Taylor Heinicke, who doesn’t shy away from the big stage.
On the flip side, the Patriots will give most of their QB reps to rookie Mac Jones, who, while impressive at camp, will have his work cut out against Washington’s defensive front.
Why Washington can cover
Several Washington starters will see minimal playing time, if any, but with a quarterback competition underway, both 18-year veteran Ryan Fitzpatrick and six-year vet Taylor Heinicke could see at least some action. Fitzpatrick played the last two seasons for the Miami Dolphins. Last year, he completed 183 of 267 passes (68.5 percent) for 2,091 yards and 13 touchdowns. He threw eight interceptions and had a 95.6 rating. His best game was a 22-for-28 performance for 350 yards and three touchdowns in Miami’s 43-17 win at San Francisco on Nov. 11.
Heinicke nearly cemented his place in Washington history with a gutsy playoff performance in a 31-23 wild-card loss to the eventual Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Heinicke completed 26 of 44 passes for 306 yards and one touchdown in that game. He also rushed six times for 46 yards and one touchdown. He had played in just one other game, a 20-13 loss to the Carolina Panthers on Dec. 27. He completed 12 of 19 passes for 137 yards and a touchdown in that game.
Why the Patriots can cover
Bill Belichick-coached teams are 14-7 against the spread in the first week of preseason. Belichick is not expected to play Newton, last year’s starter, much more than a series or two, but he could get a long look at Jones. The latter was phenomenal at Alabama, completing 311 of 402 passes (77.4 percent) for 4,500 yards and 41 touchdowns. He threw just four interceptions and had a rating of 203.1.
Newton, meanwhile, had an up-and-down season in 2020. He played in 15 games, completing 242 of 368 passes (65.8 percent) for 2,657 yards and eight touchdowns. He also carried 137 times for 592 yards (4.3 average) and scored 12 times. He finished the season strong by leading the Patriots to a 28-14 win over the New York Jets. In that game, he completed 21 of 30 passes for 242 yards and three TDs.
