The Philadelphia Eagles will host the Washington Commanders at Lincoln Financial Field on Thursday. The Eagles are favored by a 3.5-point spread with a total of 48.5 points, reflecting their strong overall performance this season. The Eagles are one of the hottest teams in the league right now winning 5 straight games. Quarterback Jalen Hurts leads a potent offense, combining his passing and rushing skills which will challenge Washington's defense.
While the Eagles’ defense has been solid, they'll need to watch out for playmakers like Terry McLaurin and Brian Robinson. The Commanders, led by rookie QB Jayden Daniels, are looking to bounce back after a loss to the Steelers. With the way things are shaping up one of these teams will be the winner of the NFC East so this game has huge implications on who wins and loses.
Jayden Daniels Over 225 Pass Yards
Jayden Daniels has had an impressive start to the 2024 season, showcasing his growth as the starting quarterback for the Washington Commanders. Over 10 games, he has thrown for a total of 2,147 yards with a 68.7% completion rate. His passing yards per game average is 214.7, with an 8.2 yards per attempt rate. Daniels has thrown 9 touchdowns while limiting his interceptions to just 2, giving him a 101.7 passer rating.
After getting over 225 passing yards in 8 straight games we’ve seen Jayden Daniels fail to get over that number in his last 2 games. To Daniels's defense he played the Giants in a game they blew them out in and a tough Steelers defense. I think this is a spot we see him bounce back. With a total of 48.5 and the Commanders being 3.5-point dogs, I expect the Commanders will need to be aggressive on offense to keep up with the Eagles. We should see a big game from Daniels through the air.
Jalen Hurts Anytime TD
Jalen Hurts picked up right where he left off from last season being a touchdown machine and I'm not talking about throwing touchdowns. Hurts’ rushing touchdowns have played a significant role in the Eagle's success this season, as he’s among the team leaders in rushing scores, showing versatility in both passing and rushing facets. His short-yardage power, especially on quarterback sneaks, continues to challenge opposing defenses, helping the Eagles maintain control in critical game moments.
Every time I watch an Eagles game it seems I see a “tush push” touchdown from Jalen Hurts. If they end up within a couple of yards of the end zone Jalen Hurts will get in. This team has perfected quarterback sneak and it results in Jalen Hurts scoring 6. He has 8 rushing touchdowns in his last 4 games. Jalen Hurts anytime touchdowns are a staple in my betting slips.
Saquon Barkley Over 93.5 Rush Yards
Saquon Barkley has been a powerhouse for the Eagles this season. Over nine games, he’s racked up 991 rushing yards on 171 carries, averaging an impressive 5.8 yards per carry and 110.1 yards per game. With six rushing touchdowns, he’s shown his strength in the red zone and his ability to break through defenses. His top performance so far came against his former team, the New York Giants, where he put up 176 yards and a touchdown. He also had standout games with 147 yards and two touchdowns against the Saints and 159 yards with a touchdown versus the Jaguars.
Looking ahead to Thursday, I anticipate another big performance from Barkley. The Washington Commanders have had a solid season, but they’ve struggled to contain explosive plays on the ground, allowing the third most rushing yards per game in the league. In a high-stakes divisional matchup under the primetime lights, I’m expecting Barkley to deliver another 100-yard rushing game.
