Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles opened as -4.5 point home favorites and money came in on the Eagles pushing it to -5.0, -5.5, and now -6.0. As of Tuesday afternoon, the number is up to Eagles -6.0. This game already has some wide spread options with the Commanders as high as +6.0 and the Eagles as low as -5.5. The early speculation was that Jalen Hurts remains less than 100 percent and that is why the opening line came in low.
Bettors can tease the Eagles down to PICK or tease the Commanders up to +12.0.
The total opened 48.0 and also was immediately bet down to 47.5. 48 is a key number in Over/Unders and will most likely not move much off this number unless there is a key injury or severe weather forecast change.
The majority of the bets (57%) have come in on the Commanders, and the handle (56%) has come in on the Eagles which reflects where the "sharp" money has landed.
The total is seeing money on the Under at 78% of total bets, and 70% of the handle. The moneyline shows who has taken a position on the game, and the Commanders have received 60% of the bets and 52% of the handle.
