Commanders Look For Another Road Win, Super Bowl Berth

The Washington Commanders will be the road team for the NFC Championship Game after upsetting the Detroit Lions in the Divisional playoff round. Washington put together an offensive masterclass in Detroit, scoring 45 points and dominating that game for nearly all 60 minutes. This week, the Commanders will look for their third straight playoff road win as the NFL odds have them as an underdog in the conference championship round.

For the Commanders, the key to this game is going to be whether or not they can continue to have success without the turnover margin being in their favor. Baker Mayfield and Jared Goff both struggled with turnovers against the Commanders, with Goff drawing the ire of Tom Brady for throwing three interceptions. Washington has a 6-0 turnover margin so far in the playoffs. But Washington may not be able to count on that in this game and how the Commanders offense performs without a turnover edge could decide this matchup.

Eagles Look to Return to Super Bowl Action

The Philadelphia Eagles overcame inclement weather and a tough Rams defense to win in the Divisional playoffs. Now the Eagles are one win away from getting back to the Super Bowl, with the Eagles having home-field advantage in this conference championship contest. For the Eagles to get another win here, they will need their defense to play one of the best games they have played all season.

In two games against the Commanders this season, the Eagles have scored 29.5 points per game. But if they can’t make life tough on Jayden Daniels and the surging passing game of the Commanders, they could be in a closer game than they’d like. With Nakobe Dean out for the rest of the season, the Eagles secondary will be called upon to slow down Terry McLaurin and the rest of the Commanders’ skill position players to stop Daniels and company.

Commanders vs Eagles Prediction

Our best bet for the Commanders vs Eagles NFC Championship Game is for the Eagles to cover the spread as a home favorite. While the Commanders have had a phenomenal run this postseason, we don’t expect the turnover luck for the Commanders to continue. Look for Philly to protect the ball and for them to advance to another Super Bowl.
