Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders Betting Picks
Last week, the Eagles chose to balance out their offensive attack by throwing the ball more to A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. That focus helped Philadelphia put up 27 points against the Steelers, a team that boasts one of the top defenses in the league.
Washington no longer looks like the team that started the season with a 7-2 record. The defense has declined against both the run and the pass. In addition, the Commanders needed to stop a two-point conversion attempt last week, or they would have lost to the Saints.
I'm wagering on the Eagles at -3.5 as these teams are trending in different directions right now. In addition, Philadelphia beat the Commanders by eight points last month. In that game, Washington had a garbage-time TD and two-point conversion to make a blowout look close.
Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders Best Bet: Eagles -3.5
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Washington Commanders Prediction
The Eagles have a dominant offensive line, which immediately puts the Commanders at a disadvantage. In addition, Washington lacks the personnel to slow down Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith. Look for the Eagles to control the clock while scoring on most of their offensive drives.
In the first meeting between these teams, the only Commanders players on offense who had success were Austin Ekeler and Zach Ertz. Each player did damage in the short-passing game. Ekeler is out for the season, and Ertz suffered a concussion last week. I expect the Eagles defense to smother this offense while sacking Jayden Daniels numerous times.
I predict the Eagles win 30-13, so I'm taking the Eagles -3,5 points and Philly under the alternate team total of 26.5 at +130 odds. These odds can be found on DraftKings Sportsbook.
