Patriots Favored By Nine Over Struggling Washington Redskins

The AFC East leaders are the favorites to win yet another game as the Patriots head into FedEx Field to take on the Redskins at 1 p.m. Sunday.

The current line, supplied by Bodog, has New England as a nine-point favorite.

While the spread is much less than last week's enormous 20-point line when the Pats took on the Colts, it's still a pretty sizable margain.

The Redskins have fallen on hard times, and at 4-8 are currently tied with the Eagles in the cellar of the NFC East. Washington stayed competative until the fourth quarter in last week's 34-19 loss to the Jets.

New England is looking for its fifth straight victory, and would clinch the division with a win and a New York loss to Kansas City.
