Philadelphia Eagles vs Washington Commanders Prediction

I would take a stab at the Commanders here but the line's not quite thick enough. Washington didn’t have the greatest second half in their gutsy road win over the Saints last weekend, but it was good enough for a victory. The Commanders finished with 326 yards and 23 first downs in that one but did play a fairly sloppy game on nine penalties for 84 yards. Washington’s defense has held opponents below 20 points in consecutive games now, but that probably won’t happen here.

These teams last met back on November 14 in a 26-18 home win for the Eagles. Philly has been below 28 points in four of their last five games, but the defense has held opponents below 21 points in six straight. Washington has their work cut out for them here, but I think they’re capable of competing at home. I don't think the Commanders will get close enough to cover, though. Should be a fun matchup at least.
