Washington Commanders at Philadelphia Eagles odds, picks and predictions

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Washington Commanders (2-1) visit the Philadelphia Eagles (3-0) Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the Commanders vs. Eagles odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

After rallying for a 20-16 victory vs. the Arizona Cardinals as 7-point home favorites in Week 1 and beating the Denver Broncos 35-33 as 3.5-point road underdogs in Week 2, the magic ran out for the Commanders in Week 3. They suffered a 37-3 loss as 5-point home dogs to the Buffalo Bills.

Philadelphia is back home after defeating the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 25-11 as a 5.5-point road favorite Monday night. The Eagles, who want to be a balanced offense, ran the ball 40 times for 201 yards. The defense also played well, allowing just 41 rushing yards on 17 carries.

The defense, although it only sacked QB Baker Mayfield twice, limited Tampa Bay to 133 passing yards — something they will look to do again against Commanders QB Sam Howell.

Commanders at Eagles picks and predictions

Prediction

Eagles 27, Commanders 10

Moneyline

Do not make this wager.

While +330 would be great to win, it is not likely to happen. -420 for the Eagles is also not worth a play. Stay away.

AVOID.

Against the spread

Take PHILADELPHIA -8.5 (-110) to win the game.

The Eagles’ defense has been able to stifle opposing teams so far in 2023.

After allowing just 41 rushing yards and 133 passing yards to Tampa Bay on Monday, the Eagles will look to stop Howell and a Commanders offense which was limited to just 3 points in Week 3.

Washington won its first 2 games against inferior opponents. The first time it played a good team in Buffalo, it folded. The Eagles are another good team, and despite this number being high at 8.5 (-110), it is still the side to take.

BET EAGLES -8.5 (-110).

Over/Under

UNDER 43.5 (-112) is the wager.

After allowing 27 points to the Minnesota Vikings, the Eagles’ defense came out strong Monday in allowing just 11 points to the Buccaneers. While Philadelphia was only able to manage 2 sacks, it was able to put pressure on Mayfield and limit the Buccaneers to 174 yards of total offense.

WR Jahan Dotson has failed to break out yet this season, and WR Terry McLaurin has been unable to do everything himself for a Commanders team which is struggling — especially early in games.

Although the Commanders were able to comeback and beat the Cardinals and the Broncos after falling behind, the same will not be done this week. The Philadelphia defense will clamp down and force this game to the UNDER 43.5 (-112).
