Washington has had their issues of late, losing 8 of 10 but I like 'em here against Florida. As bad as it's been for Washington, it's worse for Florida - at least on the road. The Panthers have lost a franchise-record 13 straight on the road. They are 2-16 away from home, losing on average by a score of 2.2 to 3.7. In division, Florida is scoring 1.8 goals per game. Bad home favorites of -200 or less that have lost 6 or 7 of their last 8 games are 27-5 in the first half of the season when playing a team with a losing record. Also, bad home teams at -100 to -150 that are well-rested (playing 5 or less games in 14 days) vs. losing teams in the first half of the season are 22-4 since 1996. Great situation for Washington and we'll back 'em for two stars.
