Green Bay Packers at Washington Commanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Green Bay Packers at Washington Commanders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Green Bay Packers (3-3) face the Washington Commanders (2-4) in Week 7 on Sunday at FedExField. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Packers vs. Commanders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Packers are on a 2-game losing skid with losses to the New York Giants (27-22) in Week 5 and the New York Jets (27-10) in Week 6, despite being 7.5- and 8.5-point favorites, respectively. QB Aaron Rodgers has gotten off to a slow start with 1,403 passing yards, 9 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in the first 6 weeks of the season.

The Commanders were able to snap a 4-game losing skid in Week 6 with a narrow 12-7 win over the Chicago Bears as 1-point favorites. QB Carson Wentz is expected to miss multiple weeks with a finger injury, so QB Taylor Heinicke is projected to start Sunday.

Packers at Commanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Packers 27, Commanders 17

Moneyline

PASS on the moneyline in this game, despite that the Packers should be able to end their losing skid on the road against the Commanders. However, the current odds for Green Bay (-220) are not worth the risk to take them straight up as you’ll net a minimal return.

Against the spread

Even with their recent struggles, PACKERS -4.5 (-108) is where I’m going in this game. I expect a heavy dose of RB Aaron Jones and RB AJ Dillon.

Green Bay is 7-1 ATS in the team’s last eight Week 7 games.

Over/Under

Both of these teams have struggled to score consistently, but I’m taking the OVER 41.5 (-108). Rodgers should be able to find a rhythm against a mediocre secondary and the run game should have success.

The Over is 5-0 in the last 5 games the Packers have played against a team with a losing record and the Over has hit in 5 of the last 8 meetings between the Packers and Commanders in Washington.

Commanders at Bears picks and predictions

Prediction

Bears 19, Commanders 16

Moneyline

This looks like another snoozer of a game after last Thursday’s Indianapolis Colts – Denver Broncos matchup.

The question is whether Washington’s bad defense will look good or whether Chicago’s bad offense will succeed. The Bears rank 15th in points allowed (21.2), so one would figure that their defense will be fine against Washington’s struggling offense.

The Commanders have only scored 62 points over their last 4 games.

The Bears have at least cracked 20 points 3 times this season.

Take the BEARS (-107).

Against the spread

With a half-point spread, this is almost exactly like betting the moneyline, although betting the spread allows for a win for the Commanders if there is a tie game.

The Bears are 2-2-1 ATS this season, while the Commanders are 1-4 ATS.

The Commanders are winless on the road and the Bears are 2-0 at home.

Take the BEARS -0.5 (-108).

Over/Under

This line comes in super low at 37.5, but after last Thursday’s 12-9 mess of a game and the offensive struggles of both teams this season, there isn’t a lot of confidence in either team.

Two of the Bears’ games have had 40 or more points.

The Commanders’ last game had 38 total points but their 2 previous outings had fewer than that.

Can either team get into the 20s? That’s something I doubt on a short week.

Take UNDER 37.5 (-110).

Tennessee Titans at Washington Commanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tennessee Titans at Washington Commanders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Commanders (1-3) welcome the Tennessee Titans (2-2) Sunday to FedEx Field. Kickoff is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (CBS). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Titans vs. Commanders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Commanders failed to cover as 3-point underdogs on the road last week in a 25-10 loss at Dallas Cowboys. After beating the Jacksonville Jaguars to commence the season, the Commanders have lost and not covered in 3 straight weeks.

The Commanders are led by QB Carson Wentz, who has 8 passing TDs and 5 interceptions. First-round pick WR Jahan Dotson (hamstring) will be out this week, which is a blow to Washington’s offense.

Tennessee is still rebuilding its confidence after a 41-7 Monday Night Football loss to Buffalo in Week 2. The Titans have since beat the Las Vegas Raiders (24-22 in Week 3) and the Indianapolis Colts (24-17 in Week 4).

As per the last multiple seasons, the Titans are led by RB Derrick Henry. He sits 11th in the league in rushing yards with 306 on the season. Unfortunately for the Titans, they’ll be missing multiple key pieces on the defensive side due to injuries for this one.

Titans at Commanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Titans 24, Commanders 17

Moneyline

PASS.

Tennessee is the better side, and it has fewer key skilled-position injuries. I’ll take the Titans, but I’d prefer to play them on the spread.

Against the spread

BET TENNESSEE -1.5 (-108).

The Commanders aren’t a great run-stopping side, ranking 16th in opponents’ rushing yards per attempt (4.4 yards). With the Titans having the most unstoppable back in the league, I expect King Henry to have his way.

Tennessee is also starting to get more production from QB Ryan Tannehill. He had an 81% completion rate (17 of 21 pass attempts) against the Colts last weekend and played well against the Raiders the prior week.

The Titans are 2-2 ATS, while the Commanders are 1-3 ATS. Washington’s offense, especially without Dotson, likely won’t impress as starting RB Antonio Gibson has struggled this season (43.3 rushing yards per game).

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 42.5 (-103).

Both teams are 2-2 O/U this season.

The Commanders won’t have the firepower to keep pace here. Washington scored just 18 points the last two weeks, and one thing the Cowboys (last week’s opponent) and Titans have in common is an elite presence on the defensive line.

Titans DL Jeffery Simmons should be able to have his way against the Commanders, and Washington’s issues should continue.

The Washington Commanders (1-2) and Dallas Cowboys (2-1) play a Week 4 matchup Sunday at AT&T Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Commanders vs. Cowboys odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

Commanders QB Carson Wentz struggled against his former team in a 24-8 loss at home vs. the Philadelphia Eagles last Sunday. The former 2nd-overall pick was sacked 9 times and went 25-of-43 passing with 211 yards with 2 fumbles, 1 of which was lost. Washington failed to cover as a 6-point home underdog.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb made a 1-handed TD catch in the 4th quarter to help Dallas win 23-16 at the New York Giants Monday. QB Cooper Rush improved to 3-0 as a starter in his career as star QB Dak Prescott remains sidelined with an injured thumb. Rush finished with 215 yards through the air and 1 TD on 21-of-31 passing.

Commanders at Cowboys picks and predictions

Prediction

Commanders 24, Cowboys 20

Money line

BET COMMANDERS (+145).

It’s time to sell high on the Cowboys.

Rush has had a great stretch, but he’s probably not talented enough to win his first 4 career starts. The Commanders will be extra focused in this divisional matchup since they’re coming off of a bad loss Sunday and had the extra day to prep compared to the Cowboys. Dallas will be a losing leg on a lot of parlays Sunday.

Against the spread

BET COMMANDERS +3.5 (-122).

Take the points if Commanders ML is too risky for your liking. Washington is 6-1-1 ATS in its last 8 games after allowing 350+ total yards in its previous game. Commanders coach Ron Rivera should have his defense ready to bounce back Sunday after giving up 24 points in the first half vs. the Eagles in Week 3.

Over/Under

PASS.

Dallas’ defense has looked great this year, but it might be due for a let-down after a dominant primetime performance vs. a divisional opponent on Monday Night Football. Wentz is 7th in passing yards this season (861) and could rebound with a big game after a disappointing performance against his former team in Week 3. Dallas’ defense vs. an unpredictable Wentz makes me want to stay away from betting the total.

Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles at Washington Commanders odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Philadelphia Eagles (2-0) travel to take on the Washington Commanders (1-1) Sunday in Week 3 of the 2022 NFL season. Kickoff from FedExField is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Eagles vs. Commanders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Eagles have been rolling to start the season, defeating the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings in the first 2 weeks. QB Jalen Hurts is making an early MVP case with 723 total yards and 4 total touchdowns in his 2nd year as the full-time starter.

We have a revenge-game narrative with former Eagles QB Carson Wentz now the starting quarterback for the Commanders. After taking down the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, Washington fell to Detroit in Week 2, so it’ll be looking to bounce back at home in Week 3.

Eagles at Commanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 28, Commanders 20

Money line

Go ahead and PASS on the money line in this game with the current odds for the Eagles to win. Philadelphia has won 8 of the last 10 meetings with Washington, including both times the teams squared off in 2021.

Against the spread

EAGLES -6.5 (-108) is where I’m going in this game with Hurts leading the charge for Philadelphia. The Eagles have a well-balanced offense going up against a Commanders squad that has struggled to limit the opposition to begin the season.

Over/Under

The Eagles have averaged 31 points per game in the first 2 weeks of the season. While Wentz isn’t a premier quarterback, he’s had a solid start to the season and he’s shown decent chemistry with his wide receivers in Washington.

Take the OVER 46.5 (-115) in this game with both offenses showing positive signs to begin the season. The Over is 4-0 in the last 4 September games the Commanders have played and the Over has hit in 10 of the last 11 games for Washington after the team allowed 150-plus rushing yards in the previous outing.

Washington Commanders at Detroit Lions odds, picks, and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Washington Commanders at Detroit Lions odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Commanders (1-0) head to Ford Field for a matchup against the Detroit Lions (0-1) Sunday at 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Commanders vs. Lions odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

RB D’Andre Swift and the Lions come into this game off a 38-35 Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Swift managed almost 10 yards per carry with 144 yards on 15 rushes, and he added 31 yards on 3 catches. The Lions offensive line held up well in the opener, and with DE Chase Young (ACL) missing once for the Commanders, Swift should have a chance to feast again.

QB Carson Wentz led the Commanders to pull out a late 28-22 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars in their opener. Wentz threw for 213 yards and 4 TDs, 2 of them being thrown to rookie WR Jahan Dotson. Those touchdowns were 2 of Dotson’s 4 catches for 48 yards in his NFL debut.

RB Antonio Gibson continued his role as the main cog in the Commanders’ ground game, rushing for 52 yards on 14 carries with 72 receiving yards on 7 receptions in the opener. With Detroit surrendering 4 rushing TDs to Philadelphia in Week 1, this could be another good game for Gibson and the run attack of Washington.

Commanders at Lions picks and predictions

Prediction

Lions 34, Commanders 23

Money line

BET LIONS (-120).

Detroit is favored in a game for the first time in more than 22 months. The Lions are the right side on the money line here.

Against the spread

LIONS-1.5 (-112) is in the mix.

Make sure to take this line before it moves too high. If this number crosses -3 it becomes a stay away. Otherwise, I’m all in on LIONS -1.5 (-112) as my FAVORITE PLAY even if it climbs to -2.5.

Over/Under

LEAN to the OVER 48.5 (-110) as the safer bet.

Depending on which version of Wentz shows up, the Commanders could help or hurt you here. Detroit looks to have the offense to send this game Over. And a defense to match. If both teams play the way they did in Week 1, we will be sitting pretty. But can we trust either yet? That is why it is just a lean for me.

Jacksonville Jaguars at Washington Commanders odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Jacksonville Jaguars at Washington Commanders Week 1 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Commanders commence their 2022 seasons Sunday. Kickoff from FedExField is at 1:00 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Jaguars vs. Commanders odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Jaguars were a circus last season with coach Urban Meyer manning the ship, but they’ve since replaced him with a Super Bowl-winning coach in Doug Pederson.

Jacksonville QB Trevor Lawrence will be looking to prove why he was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft with a new set of weapons that features RB Travis Etienne Jr. who has returned from injury and WRs Christian Kirk and Zay Jones who joined in the offseason via free agency.

The Commanders went 7-10 during the 2021 season, which saw them finish 3rd in the NFC East. Washington now has QB Carson Wentz operating the offense after QB Taylor Heinicke started in the majority of the games for the team a season ago.

Jaguars at Commanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Jaguars 24, Commanders 17

Money line

The Commanders are expected to defeat the Jaguars in the season opener, but I’m all-in on a much-improved squad for Jacksonville with Meyer no longer in the picture.

JAGUARS (+125) is the LEAN in this game, especially after defeating a Wentz-led Indianapolis Colts team in Week 18 of the 2021 campaign.

I’ll also take TREVOR LAWRENCE OVER 240.5 PASSING YARDS (-115) in this game due to the 2nd-year quarterback not having to worry about DE Chase Young (PUP) chasing him off of the edge for the Commanders.

Against the spread

Considering that I took the Jaguars to win the game outright, JAGUARS +2.5 (+105) is the choice here. All the ATS records Jacksonville had a season ago don’t matter with Pederson now at the helm.

The Commanders are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games in September.

Over/Under

UNDER 43.5 (-103) is a solid pick in this matchup with games typically being ugly at FedExField. The Jaguars have a new-look offense that should perform much better in 2022 but they may need time to build chemistry, and it’s tough to trust Wentz on the Washington side.

The Under is 5-0 in Washington’s last 5 home games and the Under has hit in 9 of the last 12 games that the Commanders have appeared in.

Washington Commanders at Baltimore Ravens odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Washington Commanders at Baltimore Ravens odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Washington Commanders (0-2) wrap up their preseason schedule with a road game against the Baltimore Ravens (2-0) and their 22-game preseason winning streak. They face each other Saturday night with a 7 p.m. ET kickoff at M&T Bank Stadium, airing only regionally in both teams’ home markets. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Commanders vs. Ravens odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Commanders have lost both preseason contests this year, falling 23-21 to the Carolina Panthers and then 24-14 to the Kansas City Chiefs last week. Washington turned the ball over twice against the Panthers and once against the Chiefs but did not force a turnover defensively in either game. Their starters will get only limited work in the preseason finale.

The Ravens have not lost a preseason game since 2015. They beat the Tennessee Titans 23-10 in their opener and the Arizona Cardinals 24-17 last week. QB Lamar Jackson has yet to play in the preseason.

Commanders at Ravens picks and predictions

Prediction

Ravens 27, Commanders 17

Money line

PASS on the money line. The Ravens take their preseason games seriously and have a culture of winning in the locker room. The Commanders are winless in the preseason so far.

But there is far too much juice to pick the Ravens to win outright, while it seems unwise to bet the Commanders.

Against the spread

The Ravens are 2-0 in the preseason and covered the spread in both games. They have not allowed more than 17 points to any team. They have beaten both preseason opponents each by a touchdown.

The Commanders have seen both preseason opponents score 23 or more points.

Take the RAVENS -5.5 (-117).

Over/Under

The Commanders have had both opponents this preseason score at least 23 points in each game.

The Ravens have not allowed more than 17 points through 2 preseason contests. They have scored 23 and 24 points in their 2 games.

I LEAN OVER 39.5 (-105).

Carolina Panthers at Washington Commanders odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Carolina Panthers at Washington Commanders preseason odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Carolina Panthers and Washington Commanders meet in their preseason opener Saturday. Kickoff from FedEx Field is scheduled for 1 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Panthers vs. Commanders odds, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Panthers acquired QB Baker Mayfield from the Cleveland Browns to come in and compete with QB Sam Darnold for the starting job. Both quarterbacks are expected to see action Saturday in D.C. Rookie QB Matt Corral is also expected to debut.

Like the Panthers, the Commanders have 3 capable QBs in Carson Wentz, Taylor Heinicke and Sam Ehlinger, and all are expected to see some snaps against Carolina. The level of play on offense for both sides could be good.

Money line (ML): Panthers +125 (bet $100 to win $125) | Commanders -155 (bet $155 to win $100)
Against the spread (ATS): Panthers +2.5 (+105) | Commanders -2.5 (-130)
Over/Under (O/U): 37.5 (O: +100 | U: -120)

Panthers at Commanders picks and predictions

Prediction

Panthers 19, Commanders 13

Money line

The PANTHERS (+125) are likely to keep oft-injured RB Christian McCaffrey on the sidelines, but they have 2 NFL starting QBs in Mayfield and Darnold, and both are likely to see at least a handful of series. That gives the visitors the edge, although Washington’s defense is fierce.

For the Commanders (-155), Wentz has had a woeful training camp with his new team, and it is going to be a work in progress this preseason to get him hitting on all cylinders before Week 1.

Against the spread

The PANTHERS +2.5 (+105) is the play, although playing ATS vs. ML really makes no sense unless you strongly believe there is going to be a tie. Just play the money line.

Over/Under

The UNDER 37.5 (-120) is the way to go.

While these teams are each deep at the QB position, these teams still are among the lowest ranked overall clubs in the NFL. The Washington defense will make things particularly difficult on the Carolina offense, and the Panthers D isn’t too shabby, either. Expect many field goals, not so many touchdowns.
