This is a disgusting matchup made worse by personnel absences. Saquon Barkley is supposed to be on a snap count, but it’s tough to believe he will be off the field if needed late. The Commanders are not the Cowboys, so the Eagles won't be playing keep up. Rather, Philly should be able to compete for 60 minutes against Washington, which is worse in most phases. I’d still rather have the Eagles defense, and outside of Jayden Daniels, many of their position players. While the Commies are off a bye, a touchdown is a lot to cover. Don’t forget, the “impressive” six-point loss to the Niners saw Washington behind 23-3 when San Francisco took its foot off the gas in the fourth.
With the Commanders losing Terry McLaurin to a season-ending injury, tight end Chig Okonkwo has picked up the slack. He's caught 11 of 13 targets for 129 yards over the past two games. Okonkwo has great chemistry with Jayden Daniels and I expect to see more of it Sunday night.
Caesar’s. Zack Baun has cleared this line in 4/6 games this season. He’ll face a Washington offense that is a haven for linebacker tackles, especially when Jayden Daniels is taking the snaps. In Daniels four starts this season, an opposing off-ball linebacker has cleared this line in each game - six in total. This includes Baun’s 12 in Week 1, as this is a matchup he’s thrived in as an Eagle. I also do not trust the Eagles offense to be able to sustain drives against the Commanders defense, which is built to limit Saquon Barkley on the ground.
FanDuel. Stefon Diggs has cleared this line in three of five games. Yes, one miss was against the Eagles, but he did draw nine targets with four catches (and two drops). Without the injured Terry McLaurin, Diggs should serve as Jayden Daniels’ preferred alpha in the Commanders passing game having already lead the team in targets per game (7.4). The Eagles have been getting burned by slot receivers, allowing the second most receptions per game (7.2). They defend the other positions well, and I expect the run defense to bounce back after last week’s debacle against the Cowboys.
Dallas Goedert has an excellent matchup on Sunday night against the Washington defense, which has given up the 7th most receiving yards to tight ends this season. Goedert had 77 receiving yards in this matchup in Week 1. Granted, that was with QB Jalen Hurts. But he's cleared this line in four of the five full games he's played this season. I just missed his receptions prop on Monday night. But the Eagles will again be without wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Dontavion Wicks on Sunday night. So Goedert should be heavily targeted again in a great matchup.
Chig Okonkwo has become one of Jayden Daniels’ favorite targets since the quarterback returned from his elbow injury. Over the last two games, Okonkwo has 11 catches on 13 targets for 129 yards. His slow start comes with context. He was held to 16 yards in the opener in Philadelphia, and the other stinker was when Daniels was out. The Eagles have struggled against tight ends. Tommy Tremble, Brenton Strange, and Tyler Higbee all cleared this number against them, and none of them were the top option on their respective offenses. With Terry McLaurin out for the year, Washington needs someone to move the chains, and Okonkwo has become that guy for the Commanders.
The Eagles remain beset by injuries heading into another primetime matchup, but they held their own against the Cowboys and held a lead late in the third quarter. Ultimately their defense was not able to get enough stops on a dangerous Cowboys offense, but this is a step down in quality of opponent, especially with Terry McLaurin and Jacory Croskey-Merritt sidelined. Washington's one win this year featured just one drive longer than 43 yards but somehow 33 points on the scoreboard, and they have the 31st scoring defense in the league. I don't think these units collectively deserved to be favored by this much against basically anyone, so I'm fading the massive market line move on this game.
This is a brutal scheduling spot for the Eagles, who are traveling on a short week to face a Commanders team off its bye. Philly gave up 204 rushing yards to Dallas in the 38-21 loss on Monday night, posting the worst defensive EPA per drive since Vic Fangio took over in 2024. Home teams with a rest advantage are 12-2-1 ATS this season. Look for Jayden Daniels to enjoy a comfortable pocket as Washington wins by a touchdown.
