Key Details
Philadelphia Eagles
With the season nearly over, the Philadelphia Eagles are hoping to get some momentum against a divisional rival before January. The Eagles are coming off a dominating win against the Las Vegas Raiders, and could have another strong game against the Commanders.Â
This season, the Eagles’ defense has been elite, allowing only 19 points per game, and could have another strong defensive game. While the offense has been filled with drama, the Eagles’ offense could rally against the Commanders and win a game against their rivals for the division. The Eagles’ offense with Jalen Hurts has been struggling, but could have a solid game against a Commanders team they beat three times last season.
Washington Commanders
With the Eagles drama affecting them, the Washington Commanders could catch them off guard in their week 16 game. The Washington Commanders are coming off a strong win against the Giants after losing nine of their last ten games in a losing season.
Washington’s defense has been taking a step down due to the veterans regressing in worse ways, plummeting their defensive statistics. Along with their defense regressing, the offense has been struggling with Jayden Daniels having a season-ending injury, and a lack of a run game. While the Commanders have close games against the Eagles, they could easily lose this game
Prediction
With the NFC East divisional race already decided, the Philadelphia Eagles could easily win this game, but besides the NFC championship game, most of their games were decided by one score. Philly has struggled against the Commanders in the past, and the over could be ignored with their defense being strong but not enough to cover. With the history of both teams in recent memory being close, bettors should take the Philadelphia Eagles easily, but not to cover due to their own struggles.
