Green Bay at Washington

Washington would like to forget the first week of preseason when it lost 23-3 to the Ravens while gaining only 138 net yards. Quarterback Kirk Cousins called it a "wake-up call" and the Redskins have won and covered Week 2 of the preseason the last four years, including a 22-18 win over the Jets in 2016 as a 3 1/2 point favorite. Coach Jay Gruden is 9-4 straight-up and 8-5 ATS in his preseason career and likely will have his team focused to avoid another embarrassment especially on its home field. Green Bay defeated the Eagles 24-9 as Brett Hundley was 8-of-15 with one interception followed by Joe Callahan (10-of-16 for 103 yards) and Taysom Hill (four-of-five for 69 yards). Washington has won and covered eight straight in its first preseason home game and the Redskins beat the Packers 42-24 in the 2016 regular season. Green Bay had as much trouble running the ball as the Redskins, gaining only 47 yards on 18 carries against Philadelphia. The fact that Washington is favored after last week's loss is an indicator that it will bounce back with a better performance. Take the Redskins.
