Philadelphia Eagles
  • The Eagles’ dominant rushing offence has carried them to a 10-game winning streak, but can they overcome the Commanders’ impressive home record and rushing attack?
  • With both teams in the top 10 for touchdowns scored, this clash promises high-scoring action, but which defence will hold steady?
  • Will the Commanders’ playoff push be enough to stop an Eagles team eyeing the top seed in the NFC?

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.

Picks

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: Philadelphia Eagles 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.
Pick: Philadelphia Eagles Little Win (2.75)

With two high-scoring offences and defences prone to big plays, this game is likely to surpass the total points line. The stats back an exciting shootout.
Pick: Over +45.5 (1.90)

Value Picks:
A.J. Brown offers excellent value, benefiting from the same mismatch that Smith will exploit. The Commanders’ struggles against WRs make this a smart bet.
Pick: A.J. Brown (2.55)

Dark Horse:

Grant Calcaterra presents a unique opportunity as a tight end, capitalising on the Commanders’ vulnerability against the position, having conceded 7 TE touchdowns this year.
Pick: Grant Calcaterra (7.5) 

Ben Sinnott is an under-the-radar option, stepping into a larger role with injuries in the TE group. The Eagles have allowed 5 TE touchdowns this season, making this a worthy gamble.
Pick: Ben Sinnott (5.4)

This matchup offers a prime opportunity for action betting, with high-scoring potential and key mismatches to exploit. Both teams bring their best to the field, promising excitement for punters aiming to gain a betting edge.
