Eagles vs. Commanders ATS Pick

Eagles -6.5 (-107) ★★★★

The Eagles’ offense has been clicking on all cylinders on their way to scoring 31.0 points per game, tied for fourth best in the league. While the Commanders have also been able to move the ball well, averaging 27.5 points per game, they haven’t had the same success on defense.

The Eagles are14th in both total yards and points allowed per game. Meanwhile, the Commanders are 27th in points and yards allowed per game. The Eagles second-ranked rush offense should have no problem moving the ball on the 28th-worst rushing defense.

Eagles vs. Commanders O/U Pick

Over 47.5 (-107) ★★★★★

The Eagles and Commanders are averaging a combined 58.5 points per game. Washington's two games this season both hit the Over while Philadelphia is 1-1 on the Over this year. Three of the last five head-to-head matchups hit the Over.

The line has adjusted down due to the Eagles’ defensive performance against the Vikings, however, I think the Commanders find a way to put up points, even if it is at the end of the game.

Eagles vs. Commanders Prop Pick

Eagles team total Over 26.5 (-125) ★★★★★

The Eagles cashed the Over on their team total 13 times in their last 15 games against teams with a turnover differential of worse than -0.65 turnovers per game. The Commanders have four total turnovers through two games with three interceptions and a lost fumble.
