Betting Odds and Expert Analysis
The Commanders are 6-point favorites with an over/under of 40.5 points. SportsLine analyst Emory Hunt, who holds a 31-18-2 record on his last 51 picks involving the Eagles, is leaning toward the Under. The Under has hit in eight of the last 10 meetings between the teams, five of the last 10 Eagles games, and eight of the last 10 Commanders games. Washington ranks tied for 20th in scoring at 22 points per game, while Philadelphia is 29th at 18.1 points per game. Hunt also identifies a crucial X-factor that makes one side of the spread a strong play.
