Eagles vs Commanders Prediction

In this Eagles vs Commanders Prediction for this NFL Week 7 matchup on Sunday, November 1st, the Commanders are coming as -5.5 home favorites. The Eagles have been in terrible form with five consecutive losses after winning their first two games of the season and losing their starting QB will not make things any better. They are also a terrible 1-6 ATS this season and have the 4th-worst offense in football and even though the Commanders have the second-worst defense, they will have an easier task with a struggling defense without its starting QB. The price is right, so I will take the Commanders by -5.5 points at home in this one.

The Eagles are 6-2 in their last 8 head-to-head meetings against the Commanders and are 3-1 in their last 4 visits in Washington. Over is 8-1 in their last 9 meetings.
