Commanders vs. Eagles Prediction:
These two teams played each other last season on a Monday night in November, and the Commanders shocked the Eagles in Philadelphia, winning the game 32-21. The win was part of a stellar mid-season stretch for the Commanders where they went 6-1-1. They have a decent chance of playing Philadelphia close again this weekend.
The Eagles are coming off of a Monday night game where they beat Tampa Bay 25-11 in South Florida. They’ll be playing on a short week against a division opponent who’s already racked up a pair of wins and who could be fighting for a playoff spot at the end of the year. Washington’s pass defense is solid as they rank in the top 10 in opponent’s completion percentage and sack percentage through three games this season. Philadelphia is only 14th in yards per pass attempt, so they may not be able to move the ball at will. In a contrarian play, I’ll take the undervalued Commanders on the road on Sunday.
