Philadelphia vs Washington Stats

Philadelphia Eagles

Last week, the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers in the battle for the Keystone State, with the Steelers' offense only managing 163 total yards compared to the Eagles' over 400 total yards. Despite top receiver George Pickens being sidelined, the Steelers struggled with only 107 passing yards. In contrast, Eagles' QB Jalen Hurts threw for 290 yards and two touchdowns, leading the team to victory. Hurts has been impressive this season, with 2,892 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, and strong completion percentage. The Eagles' offense ranks 8th in the league, averaging 26.4 points per game, while their defense is ranked 1st, allowing just 17.6 points per game. However, Hurts, TE Dallas Goedert, CB Eli Ricks, S Sydney Brown, and G Landon Dickerson are questionable for their upcoming game against Washington. Overall, Philadelphia is ranked 2nd in power rankings and has a strong record of 12-2 this season.

Washington Commanders Analysis

Washington Commanders secured a victory against New Orleans last weekend, although they faced challenges such as missed opportunities and penalties. Head coach Dan Quinn acknowledges the need for improvement but highlights the team's resilience in close games. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels has shown impressive stats in the passing game, with top receivers Terry McLaurin and Zach Ertz contributing significantly. The Commanders' run game is led by RB Brian Robinson Jr. Washington boasts strong offensive rankings but has room for improvement on defense. Several players, including Tyler Biadasz and Clelin Ferrell, are questionable for the upcoming game against Philadelphia. The Commanders currently hold a power ranking of 6 and are ranked 4th in offense. Their upcoming matchup against Philadelphia has historically favored Washington.

Eagles Favored to Cover the Spread Against Commanders in NFC East Showdown

In the upcoming game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Washington Commanders, both teams have shown strong performances against the spread this season. However, with only one team emerging victorious, it begs the question of which NFC East division rival will come out on top. Considering the betting trends, the Eagles have demonstrated a solid track record of 6-1 ATS on the road and 3-0 SU/ATS against NFC East opponents. Additionally, quarterback Jalen Hurts has an impressive record of 14-6 ATS as a betting favorite when facing teams with a winning record. On the other hand, Washington's QB Jayden Daniels has struggled against teams above .500. Given the Eagles' offensive weapons and Hurts' exceptional performance this season, I predict that Philadelphia will cover the spread against the Commanders on Sunday. Betting on their consistency and strength seems like a logical choice for this matchup.
