Eagles Look For 11th Straight Win
The Philadelphia Eagles got one of the best wins of a season full of quality wins last week, as they beat up on the Pittsburgh Steelers in their Keystone State rivalry game. Philly held the Steelers well under 100 rushing yards as a team in that game, asserting their physical dominance up front in a statement game. This week, the Eagles will look to dominate once again, as Philadelphia looks for their 11th straight win.
The efficiency of Jalen Hurts is a big reason why the Eagles are among the favorites to win the NFC championship according to NFL betting odds. Hurts completed over three-quarters of his pass attempts against the Steelers and he has the Eagles offense operating at a very high level. If he can continue to be on time and on target with his receivers, the Eagles could cruise to another win over a division foe.
Commanders Playing For 10th Victory
The Washington Commanders won in Week 15 against a New Orleans Saints team that used multiple backup quarterbacks. But it was anything but easy, as the Commanders needed to stop a two-point conversion attempt by the Saints with no time on the clock in order to hold onto their 20-19 win. This week, the Commanders will look to even the season series with the Eagles, which would be significant in the postseason picture for both teams.
For the Commanders to win this game, their passing attack will need to be on point. That could be harder than usual after tight end Zach Ertz suffered a concussion against the Saints. If Ertz can’t go against his former team, Jayden Daniels will need to lean more on his other offensive weapons, which could make life easier on the defense of the Eagles.
Eagles vs Commanders Pick & Prediction
Our best bet for Eagles vs Commanders is for the Philadelphia Eagles to cover the spread as a field goal favorite. Philadelphia is so consistently physical and that will be too much for Washington to overcome. Look for the Eagles to complete a season sweep of Washington and for the Eagles to continue to stay in contention for the top seed in the NFC.
