Eagles vs. Commanders Odds
Game Preview
After three defeats in a row, the Eagles beat the Raiders, holding them scoreless, 31-0. Jalen Hurts finally played a decent game, having 3 TD passes, with 175 passing and 39 rushing yards. Two of those TD tosses went to Dallas Goedert.
Though, their defense was in the center of attention here. They had 4 sacks on Kenny Pickett, held the Raiders to 3-for-13 on third down, and allowed them only 75 yards. Yes, SEVENTY-FIVE.
Jalen Hurts is tied with Josh Allen and Drake Maye for the most 25+ yard passing TDs (9) in the NFL this season, matching the 2nd-highest total of his career (12 in 2022). Jalen once again today showed he is a very good deep ball passer.

The Commanders won last week, and they beat the Giants in New York, 29-21. After 8 losses in a row, this was a breath of fresh air for this unit.
Marcus Mariota had 211 passing yards for one TD, which went to Terry McLaurin, and Jacory Croskey-Merritt added one more on the ground. The strong running back posted 96 rushing yards in 18 runs.
Eagles vs. Commanders Head to Head
Last year, we saw these teams battle three times, and the Eagles won twice, while the Commanders posted one win, at home, 36-33.
Eagles vs. Commanders Predictions
Eagles haven’t played well recently, and we don’t expect to see them in any shiny shape at Northwest. That’s why we bet on the hosts to cover the spread. Remember, the Commanders lost two of the past three games at home after overtime.
