The Washington Commanders face off against the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday from FedEx Field in an NFC East showdown.
This is a big game for both teams as they battle for divisional supremacy early in the season. Division games are critical, even in September, especially in a division that is expected to be wide open, such as the NFC East.
As you might expect, the Eagles come to FedEx Field as almost a touchdown favorite. So, it’s no surprise many of the experts picked Philadelphia in Week 3.
According to NFL Pickwatch, 97% of the expert pickers for Sunday’s battle favor the Eagles.
There is also an emotional element in this game. It’s the first time Washington quarterback Carson Wentz faces the team that selected him No. 2 overall in 2016. Wentz spent the first five seasons of his NFL career with the Eagles.
Wentz and Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts have been outstanding thus far in 2022. Can Wentz make his old team pay and pull off the upset Sunday?
