Riding the longest winning streak in franchise history, the Eagles head to Northwest Stadium to take on the Commanders in what promises to be a thrilling divisional matchup. The Eagles extended their streak to 10 games with a convincing 27-13 win over the Steelers, keeping pace with the Lions for NFC supremacy. Meanwhile, the Commanders edged past the Saints in a nail-biter to secure a 9-5 record, holding onto the final NFC wild card spot. With both teams boasting elite rushing attacks, this game could come down to which defence can limit the damage on the ground.
Both teams rank among the league's best in total touchdowns, with the Commanders ranked 7th and the Eagles at 6th. The Eagles’ defence has been stellar, allowing the fewest points in away games, while the Commanders have excelled at home, averaging 29.71 points per game. These strengths suggest a close contest, but the Eagles’ superior rushing attack and defensive consistency give them an edge. The Commanders’ tendency to concede big plays to wide receivers and tight ends may also prove costly against the Eagles' versatile offence.
The Eagles have consistently covered the spread in their last six meetings with the Commanders, and their dominance in both rushing and defence makes this pick compelling.
Pick: Spread -3.5 (2.01)
Philadelphia thrives in close games, particularly on the road, where their defensive edge keeps opponents at bay. Their ability to grind out narrow wins gives confidence in this selection.
