Philadelphia Eagles @ Washington Commanders Betting Picks This Week

Washington has played a pair of high-scoring games despite playing a pair of middling opponents in the Lions and Jaguars. The Eagles have proven to have an explosive offense that is both strong on the ground and through the air. 

Although the Eagles didn't score a single second-half point last week, that seemed a bit fluky. They'll cruise past the 30-point mark and cover the over on their team total. Philadelphia should also cover the -6.5 spread with Washington unlikely to keep pace on the scoreboard.

Eagles vs. Commanders Prediction for Week 3

Look for Philadelphia to get off to a hot start on offense. Jalen Hurts has put pressure on defenses not just with his running ability, but he's given the passing attack a huge boost from 2021. And on defense, the Eagles have shown ability to rush the passer. That will lead to Wentz being under consistent pressure. That'll almost certainly lead to mistakes. When trying to come back, the Commanders will likely fall into an even deeper hole.

Prediction: The Eagles should win this game 37-23.
