Writer’s Pick for the Eagles vs Commanders Game Starting Sunday’s Round of Afternoon Action

Philadelphia at Washington – The Stakes

The stakes couldn’t be higher when the Eagles and Commanders clash on Sunday.

For Philly, a victory secures a division title and keeps the Eagles hopes of a first round playoff bye alive.

A Washington victory helps the Commanders keep pace with other teams looking to secure wildcards.

Washington can win the NFC East but Philly would have to lose their remaining games, which doesn’t seem likely.

Instead, D.C. is hoping to grab one of the wildcards in what has become a crapshoot.

The Rams, Seahawks, Cardinals, Falcons, Buccaneers, and Packers are all within 1 to 2 games of each other.

There aren’t enough wildcards for all the competing teams so this is a must win for D.C.


 

Key to a Philadelphia Victory

In the first matchup, Vic Fangio’s defense contained Daniels and the Commanders’ offense.

Daniels wasn’t terrible when throwing an interception and a TD while completing 22-of-32 but Austin Ekeler was the leading receiver, not Terry McLaurin.

The tables could turn because the rematch happens in Washington.

So the most important key for Philly is to get the rushing game going to keep the ball from Daniels’ mitts.

If that happens, Hurts and Barkley can control the pace of the game.


 

Key to a Washington Win

Washington’s defense must find a way to contain Hurts.

Philadelphia’s starting quarterback is playing with a broken hand but hasn’t stopped him from dominating opponents.

Three quarterbacks, Josh Allen in Buffalo, Lamar Jackson in Baltimore, and Jalen in Philadelphia can run and pass their team to success.

Hurts has post MVP caliber stats.

If D.C. can’t contain Jalen, forget it.

The game will be over because Hurts will find DeVonta Smith, A.J. Brown, and Barkley will get the rush going in the second half.


 

Philadelphia at Washington Final Betting Pick:

On paper, Philadelphia versus Washington projects as a high scoring game but that won’t be the case on Sunday.

The Commanders are going to struggle to move the football.

In the first game, the Eagles held D.C. to 18 points.

Although the venue changes, Washington will find it difficult to score 20 versus Fangio’s defense because the Eagles are one of the few teams in the NFL that can take their best game on the road.

Not only that but Washington struggled versus the Saints when beating New Orleans by a point in a 20-19 game in their last.

Unfortunately, the offensive struggles have been more of the norm for Daniels and his teammates than the 42 points the Commanders posted against the Tennessee Titans 2 games ago. (Check pouty our NFL ATS Week 16 betting picks, that’s a rundown on to the top games.)

Philly covers in an under contest.

NFL ATS Pick: Eagles -3.5
NFL Total Pick: Under 45.5
