NFL Playoff Free Pick: Take Washington. According to latest NFL trends, the Redskins are 6-2 against the spread in their last eight games versus the NFC East and 5-2-1 ATS in their last eight road games versus a team with a winning home record. Rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III put on a show last week in a win over Minnesota and will no doubt be on for this NFC East battle. For years the Giants have been one of the most inconsistent teams in the NFL. With New York coming off a rout win over San Francisco last Sunday, look for the Giants to be slow out of the gates this week and for the Redskins to keep things close throughout.
